A Blast from the Past: Remembering my Schooldays

 

Hope, love, joy and peace. It is these four words that we are told to reflect upon during this season of Christmas as we light each candle present on the advent wreath and journey into the past with all the memories that now fill our lives. For me, some memories that come to mind are the good old days back at Church Aided Higher Primary School, which is now celebrating its 100 year mark.

 

Growing up, I was very fortunate as I lived right next to school and had a father, the late Edward D’Sa, who was once the Headmaster of the same school.I had the great privilege of being involved in many school sports and activities that shaped me to become a better person and made me the woman I am today.

 

One memory in particular that will always stay with me is that of Violet Monis, Sumangala Nayak and myself as we played on the school grounds every day after school. This was a place for us where we could go, relax and have fun with no worries in the world.

 

I also remember my teacher Raphael Aranha, who assisted me with my athletic practices, which later helped me at the high school and college level.

 

I will always cherish these sweet memories along with many others of my elementary school and hope that it continues to change the lives of many other students.
