.....My First Day At College.....
Sweet memories are like the sweet flowers. They become a source of happiness in the depressing drama of life. Usually, hard experiences teach us wisdom. The person who learns nothing from the dark past should exact nothing from bright future. Though the memory of my first day at college is a bit bitter, it is shining in my mind's eye like the smiling tears.
It was a sunny day of spring. I with my friends went to the college for the first time. We were excited and eager for learning. Still, we were a furlong away from our college when a group of horrified student told us that some senior students were waiting for us to make the first year fools. We began to tremble with fear. We turned pale. We could not utter a word.
They told us that the senior wanted to adorn the students of first year with different colors, rags, flowers scatter in a heavy rain.
Eventually, the president of the college union appeared there loke a sudden wave of grace. We told him our problem. He smiled and encouraged us to face the situation. However, he helped us and escorted us to the gate of the college. He asked the other students not to harass us. We become happy to be safe so nicely.
We come to the playground. The naughty senior students reached there. They began to make us first-year fool. We reminded them of the advice of the president of the college union. They laughed and asked me to put on a tattered shirt. I did so. They displayed a placard at the chest of my friend. The word "Scarecrow" was written on it. A boy with a wreath of old shoes advanced to a friend of mine. He observed the situation minutely ran in one direction. Some boys ran after him. We took advantage of the situation and ran in the opposite direction. Some other boys ran after us. To our bad luck, our path ended on the verge of a field soggy with the recent irrigation. We hesitated a moment but horrified by the chasing party, we jumped onto the sodden field. The senior students stopped at the brink and laughed loudly to see us in this crisis. We were however relaxed to be away from the grave risk. How we reached our houses in another story to be told. It is how I spent ma first day at college.
