Reflections from

the Head Boy

SAEEB AHMED
NUMAEER

The first day of physical

school, the experience was
unique. The school looked
the same but still so

different. The same
hallways but no students

running around. The
emptiness. All students
are far away.

"Going to physical school was a fun, unique and really enjoyable

experience especially since we returned after so long."

I felt happy seeing my friends after so long but also sad that I was unable

to go closer to them. We started with assembly. All rules were explained.
We danced and did some activities all while maintaining the norm of
social distancing. It was a really interesting and fun experience. All

classes were conducted with all students sitting far from each other. We
were unable to share stationeries. We could not whisper to our friends
beside us. Having to wash our hands after every lesson, wearing the

mask, all of this was quite new. But overall it was fun going to school
after so long seeing my teachers, listening to lectures (not behind the
screen) made learning so much easier. Going to physical school was a fun,

unique and really enjoyable experience especially since we returned after
so long. So it had both its ups and downs but I would say the ups were
more than the downs. With all the enjoyable classes and seeing all after

so long put a really cheerful ambience and everyone around me looked so
excited to be back that the positive energy seemed to spew out of
everyone. My first day of physical school experience was a truly

wonderful one and I am really happy that school reopened.
