What makes life in secondary school so unforgettable


What makes life in secondary school so unforgettable  



The secondary school occupied 7 years in my life, for years ,this period is the most valuable   treasure of every schoolchild’s mind , including me. To excavate the reasons causing life in secondary school deeply rooted in our hearts ,we need to go through the memory in those days like walking along for a long , fulfilling way , recalling so many magical days. High school life is irreplaceable because of its uniqueness , from the sense of unity to the life-long friendships and the process of growing to maturity .

 

The sense of unity is a significant part in my secondary life. Unlike in the colleges, class is the unit grouping students in secondary school. In each class , about 30 to 40 students gathered together as an member of the class and contributed to the class. For example ,a basketball match will be held each year , I remembered both classmates and class teachers took part in the match and won the trophy as an united team in last year of my secondary school life. Apart from that ,every student were eager to take duty and contribute to the class ,such as being the class monitors or subject monitors who assisted both teachers classmates. In the class , each classmates is willing to contribute and share since their hearts were put together by the strong sense of unity which made the experience in secondary school so indelible .

 

Needless to say , a long-lasting friendship with different classmates is the single best asset I gained from the secondary school , making my secondary school life unforgettable. Comparing with the life in university , I got much more time to spend with my classmates doing wide-ranging stuffs in school and building permanent friendship finally such as whispering during the lessons , cheating in the quiz , gossiping about news in the school ,exercising in the playground after school, struggling reluctantly with the annoying homework, being punished by the director of discipline ,going through the public examination , every single second was record like a diary wrote in my mind. With fewer conflicts of interests , my classmates were willing to help each other. For example , I was one of the beneficiary under the helping hand from one of my best friends who stayed until the close time of school teaching me how to solve the difficult questions of mathematics before the final examination . In those years , we shared joys and sorrows , making the friendships with each other long-lasting and the days in secondary school so unique.

 

Secondary school life can be regarded as the witness of the way of growing to maturity for every student. From stepping into school as an small ,innocent child to a tall , mature adult graduate, the seven-year-long secondary school life did change everybody physically and mentally. For instance, students did learn a lesson from public examination by undergoing a stressful period which deprived most of their time of entertainment. However , no matter how the result of public examination is , everyone gained the precious experience and  became a much more mature person since they finally finished such a tough mission . Apart from that , through daily communicating with classmates and making contributions to the class, I learned the right attitude and manners towards people and doing things and became willing to take responsibility when I was graduate . Hardly can I find  another period witnessed such remarkable change in my life. Therefore , the life in secondary school is that unique and unforgettable .

 

Years later, I may hardly remember the formulas in mathematics or the content of text books I studied during the life in secondary school but I cannot forget the smiley faces of my classmates , the strong sense of unity in my class and my personal growth in those days because they completed my secondary school life and made it such unforgettable and memorable.

 

The Peak , The Heaven

The Peak , The Heaven
 
Sitting on the wooden , solid seat inside the peak tram ,we were reaching our destination —The Peak. People were clearly losing their patience. They got off the tram with quick steps like a flock of bees swooping to the honey. After a few steps , a big square emerged in front of us. The glass-faced peak tower standing upright in the square, was like a soldier holding a sickle and guarding its territory.

 
I stopped by an ice-cream shop and drooled in front of the colorful ice-creams which spread across the show window. Couldn’t resist the sweet temptation, I grasped a cup of strawberry ice-cream and delivered a spoon of toothsome, sugary and delicate ice-cream into my mouth without hesitation . It was wondrous , like a group of spirit dancing in my mouth. That little boy next to me who wore a bright red T-shirt couldn’t agree more. His pure and sated smile demonstrated his agreement on how palatable the ice-cream was. On the other side of the square was a kid holding her parents’ hands and bouncing vivaciously, depicted a scene called “simple happiness” which I have long forgotten. Suddenly, a herd of youngers’ loud giggle interrupted my nostalgia. They made different gestures and posed in front of cameras. So immersed as if they were models on runways.

 

“Look!”, the kids yelled amusingly. They were fully attracted by the stunning views of the Victoria Harbor. I strolled down the observation deck and attempted to capture the incredible panorama of the renowned Victoria Harbor. A couple of ferries were floating slowly on the sea , orchestrated by the waves that came and go. One of the ferries put on its sharp, golden lights, so glittery that it looked like a huge golden house sparkling on the sea. The roads , buildings and cars automatically dwindled like toy bricks, as if I can pick them up with bare hands. Countless skyscrapers were embellished with bewitching lightening. Passionate red, sparkling gold , elegant violet ,metallic blue , various colors were shining in the dark sky, together they washed away the vapidity of the city and presented the glamorous view. Adjacent to me, a couple shared a yellow umbrella and whispered into each other’s ears . Enjoying the moment with their beloved.

 

The sun set and the moonlight gradually shone on my face, like a mother embracing her baby .The wind wafted through my hair, touching them gently with an invisible hand. I took a long, deep breath , trying to inhale the precious and unprecedented freshness of air. Within a second, drizzles and breeze occupied the misty sky ,cloaked the mountains with a transparent chiffon. Tiny raindrops fell on my face ,injecting refreshing energy to my mind.

 

The view gradually became blurred yet interestingly, it was beautiful in a different way. The lightening mixed with the mist , like countless stars sparkling in both sides of the Victoria Harbor. It was just amazing to stay at a such fascinating place, everything was that beautiful like in a heaven.
