Thoughts on graduation ceremony

Shatabdi Biswas, Paramount School and College Rajshahi
I wondered, as I sat before the audience, how these eight years of school life had passed so quickly, leaving behind a handful of memories I would speak to my teachers, friends, parents at my graduation ceremony, delivering heart felt thanks to the teachers who had been our mentors, leading us ahead in times of failure and gloom, school staff who had never backed down in the most pressing moments, gave us a helping hand when I thought there were not any. I listened to what the teachers had to say about us, praising us for our sincere efforts to score the best results in our O level exams, our honourable principal urging us to look at out path ahead and strive towards the zenith of success. I walked slowly towards the podium, dragging my feet as they faltered and spoke at length how grateful I was to be a student of Paramount School, the only affiliated centre of Cambridge University in Rajshahi, providing education at comparatively cheaper fees than other reputed English medium schools of our country. I felt blessed, lucky to be a part of the family where my journey began from class three and culminated at O-levels, and I sincerely pray to the Almighty that may this family continue to thrive in educating, enlightening the young minds, producing morally developed students giving care, support and above all, love as it did for me.
