a moment i enjoyed with my family

One may develop many relationships in his lifetime such as friends, business partners and associates. No matter how many ties one may establish, nothing can come close to his own family. One's family is the most important relation he can have in his lifetime. Not only does a family lay the basic foundations for one, it also showers affection and care for each of its members. That is why spending time with your family is very important. However, as time passes people are getting more busy and stressed. Thus many are not able to spend time with their family and the unity and close relationship between family members drift away. This is exactly what happened in my family. My father who is an engineer, and my mother who is a nurse usually work until late hours before returning home. Because of their jobs, I could not spend time with them often. Obviously I could not blame them as they were working for the good welfare of their family. My brother was carrying out his service in the army, so I usually would be alone at home. My activities would usually be monotonous: I would return home, study, play and go to sleep. Just like my everyday routine, I returned home from school today. As I opened the door I was surprised to see my mum. As she caught sight of me, she greeted me with a friendly smile. A sense of happiness took over me. I was happy to receive a warm greeting as I entered the house. As I took a few steps into the house, my eyes caught another surprising sight. My father and my brother were sitting in the sofa in the balcony and watching the television. I could not believe my eyes; were my eyes playing hallucinations in me. As I went and sat with them, my father enquired how school was and how I was doing in school. As I answered him, I felt glad that there was still someone who cared about me. After a few minutes, My father suggested that we go for to a restaurant to have dinner together. As we arrived at the restaurant my father ordered a few dishes. As the dishes arrived at our table we began indulging into the food. As we dined we began to chat merrily. I rfelt happy and at ease with my parents. It was only a simple dinner but it meant a lot to me. As we finished our food, we began to make our way back home. This was a unforgettable day in my life.

something that took place in my school

One usually goes to school to study, learn moral order, and improve on his or her social skills. School is usually a first step to a person's success in future. A school lays the basic foundations for any person that enrols himself or herself in it and thus it is very important for every human being. However, life in school is long and boring. Our minds usually get tired after long hours of learning. That is how I feel about school. The activities that carry out in our school are usually monotonous. We usually go to school, study,mingle with friends and leave from there. This is how I feel about school. However, occasionally something unusual and interesting may occur in our schools. That is what happened in my school today. As usual I arrived in school at seven o' clock in the morning. After the morning assembly, my class headed for the school pond. We had an assignment on measuring the dimensions on the pond. The school pond was filled with algae and living organisms such as fishes and turtles. My friend and I took out the tools needed to take the measurements. After taking his measuring tape, my friend made his way to the side of the pond to measure the length of the pond. After a few minutes, I followed after my friend to the side of the school pond. As, I neared my friend I accidentally tripped over a stone lying on the floor and fell down. Without my realisation, I accidentally fell on my friend; this resulted in him falling into the pond. Immediately all eyes turned on him. Everyone stared at him in shock. Instead of helping him out, I broke into laughter. Soon all the students around us started giggling at the event that occurred recently. Then I stared into my friend who had fell into the pond. A sense of guilt took over my heart. I felt ashamed as although the boy in the pond was my friend, I was laughing at him instead of helping him out. I raised out my hand and pulled him out of the pond. Holding my hand, he pulled himself out of the pond. Apologising to him, we walked together with him to the toilet to get him dried. I was glad that he did not blame me for what I did and I was happy that we were friends again.

a moment spent alone alone doing something i enjoyed

I returned home with my bulky bag and my stinking attire. My shirt was drenched in sweat and my back was aching from all the straining exercise I received from my sergeant in my co-curricular activity, national cadet corps. Unlike my many other friends, who usually bounced onto their beds as soon as they reached home, I decided to carry out the activity which I have most enjoyed ever since I was young. Grabbing my backpack, I headed to the place. Usually boys of my age, will be spending their time by either studying or hanging out at gaming centres. I however preferred swimming and i was heading to the swimming complex right then. I had been a plump boy since I was very young. Despite how much I exercised or how many diets I went on, my weight and size remained the same. I was the topic for mockery among my friends for my over sized shape. My 'disability' not only brought me shame but also proved to be a hurdle in my physical activities such as running and playing. My friends were not the only ones who thought of me as a shame: even I began hating myself for who I was. I would even hesitate to walk out of my house in the shame that the public may look down on me. I felt that i was alone and that I could not do anything properly: this was my basic thought until the day I started swimming. I first started swimming when my relatives brought me to the swimming complex. I felt very cold and uncomfortable the first time I entered the pool. But as time passed, I realised that swimming was fun. Since everyone is buoyant on water, it does not matter whether you are thin or fat when swimming. Since then, I have been constantly swimming. Unexpectedly, my interest in swimming has also benefited me. Ever since, I started swimming I began to get thinner and thinner. Soon after, I began being acknowledged by my friends and it felt as if light had begun shinning on my miserable life. As I reached the swimming pool that day, I wore my swimming trunks and got into the water. As I entered the water, a chill spread over my body. It was nice as when you are living in a country with a tropical climate, you are mostly exposed to hot temperature. After entering the water, I began doing what I was best at:swimming. After a few minutes, I stopped to catch my breadth. The scenery aroung the swimming pool was splendid and the atmosphere was quiet and peaceful. I then began thinking about my swimming exercises. Athough, I was not as fat as before, I still enjoy swimming. I have no logical reasoning on why I like swimming alone: Maybe I am just used to it. As the sun began to set, I got off from the pool and began walking to the toilet. The only thought that ran in my mind was when I was going to swim again.

the first week of school

Holidays are a period of time whereby students get to enjoy themselves without having to go to school or have to study at all. As time passes during the holiday period, the fear and discomforting feeling that the holidays are going to end and after they do so, every student would have to go to school again, takes over every child's heart; even if this does not refer to every child, it certainly refers to me. As i feared, the school holidays have ended and I have started to go to school regularly again. I have had a mix of positive and negative emotions since the school holidays ended. It was happy to meet my close friends and my friendly teachers in school again. On the other hand, I feel disappointed of having to wake up early in the morning to leave for school and having to start studying again. I am still getting used to the routine of having to attend school everyday. I hope that I can get along well with my new teachers and maintain my good and closer relationship with my previous teachers. My first week of school has not been anything special. The only new things in my school are the new secondary 1 students and the new teachers. It feels good not to be the youngest batch in the school anymore. I also hope that I would be able to develop good ties between me and the secondary 1s. I have still not be able to mix with the students from secondary 1 as they had gone to their orientation camp in the first few days of school. Since school reopened, we have already started our lessons. We have firstly got to know what we will be doing for the subject, design and technology, this year and i feel very excited about it. We have started on our lessons for mathematics, biology and history. The information that I have got to know so far are fascinating and i can't wait to get started on the lessons for my other subjects. The other thing that i feel excited about is my co-curricular activity, ncc land. I feel happy to know that all the members on my batch have been promoted lance corporal from a private. I can't wait to get going on with the activities on my co-curricular activity and getting to do activities together with my squad members. My new year resolution is to be attentive in my class during the lessons and to do well for my streaming this year.
