The moment I opened my eyes, I saw a whole new world .And right at that moment I was bestowed with the curse of STUDY and SCHOOL. because my parents thought it was the only way to post which they had in their mind for me. Thus I was admitted into a school. I was really happy at the school on my first day, probably because I didn’t knew about the kind of HELL I was entering. But it didn’t take very long for me to realize what I really entered .
The rule at my school was very simple, you study you don’t get hit and get praised and if you don’t study….. well let’s just say the teacher would become your worst nightmare. that’s why I had a weird image of teachers in my mind. They are the people who help you solve problems you would never have without them.
I was never the kind of guy who liked to study. But still I wanted good grades. For which I had to study but I never had the time to study. And even when I did I didn’t study.
At times my parents would come to me and ask me to study. And I would grab a book and start staring at things that I never even knew I had at my house. I would think about things that I don’t even know how came into my mind. I once even thought how Obama would look like with a beard and mustache. and then, I would just throw the book away when I thought I have STUDIED enough for today.
It was not just the teachers for whom I had a different image. but same was the case with their subjects too. I knew them and their subjects by a different name like I called MATH mental attack to humans. because I never understood a word of it . that’s why I used to cram the questions for exams, mostly on the night before Exam. but believe me even that didn’t help because what we learned in school was something else, what we got as assignment was something else ,and the worst part, what came in the test was something else that’s why my answers were totally SOMETHING ELSE. something even I couldn’t understand.
Although I hated to study, learning was never a problem for me and I loved to learn Especially Biology. You know why. learning was kind of fun . and I always looked forward to learn new things. About the universe in physics about life in Biology about some funny and weird chemicals and substances in chemistry. But still I hated Math because that’s not learning. I don’t even know what that is???
Long story short , I hated my time in school studying to solve problems created by my teachers but I made that time enjoyable by Learning. “Learning new things”.
Marwan Khan, you have really good sense of humor. Keep it Up…
Thanks
Well Mr. Marwan, while reading your essay, i thought you are some one who really hate study. But the creativity you have is awesome. You sure do know how to play with words. There is still chance for improvement. As you said yourself that you made the time enjoyable by learning.
I kind of like it from start but it shouldn’t end like this. there were way more to say/write. anyway Marwan Khan keep “Learning new things”.
Mr.Zohaib ,i know there was alot more to say but i wrote this blog while keeping in mind that people dont like reading too long things and about the ending , u said u didnt kinda like it so how would u like to end it if u were me 🙂
Creative you, well you have a good sense of humour and the message you want to convey is good too. Teachers should make study easy for students, giving examples from everyday life is the right way to engage your student in study and they will never know that you are actually teaching them 😉
oh boy ….. if only anyone could teach them that XD
Well the biggest problem has always been separating study from learning and that has been quite a setback for a long time at many places…….. thumbs up cox i hate to study too 😛
