It all started when I first came to middle school. All of us were so excited to explore new corners, stairs, grounds, and places. I found it more fascinating to interact with my new teachers in a brand-new middle school. This is how I, along with my friends, adapted to the new ecosystem at Sifal School. Having said that, I remember when I got emotional separating with my teachers and juniors in the Elementary Block. Again, here I was now comparing and noticing the changes. I found out that we can choose the food for ourselves from the provided options. I loved it.
Likewise, in the subjects, we can choose any two ECAs (Extra Curricular Activities) from each segment. Now, here comes the deal. When my friends and I were informed about this, we were encouraged by our teacher, Yukta Ma’am, to select whichever we liked. All of us were astonished by this news. I immediately thought of art and chess and selected those as my two ECAs. I confirmed it with Yukta Ma’am, and she typed on her phone. I assume that is the way of confirming. To my surprise, on the other hand, my parents were to decide on some other ECAs.
We had a conversation on the dinner table and then after too. Of course, I was not convinced, and that was the reason for stretching the conversation for so long. I am happy that I was stubborn enough so my mom and dad let me continue with art, and they communicated with my teacher. You may wonder why I debated with my own parents for a club? Well, I might not have made a smart choice, but here is my answer as to why. I wanted to become so many things when I grew up, but nowadays, I kind of like being a YouTuber. Not just a YouTuber, but a creative one who has good content and topics to discuss. I might have to make some anime, and art can boost me in that, as art requires a huge amount of creativity and thinking process. Moreover, I will be better at art, sketching, and flip books, and the more I do these, the more I can master these skills.
Additionally, I chose chess for my second club. Not a happy mom and dad, I can see, but I have to, as I desire to choose this. I feel very happy and excited when I am playing chess. I think I am good at chess as well. We all need to be happy with what we choose. If we are forced to choose something we do not desire, we will not be happy. Further, we will always lose as we will not be good at the thing forced to choose. I don’t want to play when I keep losing. We also will be bored or even depressed, so always do the things you admire, love, and you are good at. Yes, friends, we all have the right to do so.
