Recalling the first day of my school

first day at school

I will always remember the first day of my school. It always gives me a pleasant feeling when I think about my first day at school.It was my Mommy who decided to put me in a school as she thought that I was at the right age of going to school. Though I was afraid enough of going to school, the day ended on a good note.

I went with my Daddy holding his hands tightly as I was anxious about going to a new school. I didn’t want to leave my play school. But Daddy told me that I would like the new school. He took me in his car and drove me to the school for the admission. He introduced me to the principal and followed the admission procedure. And, I was enrolled as a student. It was April 5, 2013, I went to school. I felt nervous by seeing the huge building and all the kids around me.

I was taken to my class. I felt alone in that huge classroom among other kids, I was about to cry when somebody patted me from behind and asked, “What’s your name baby?” She was a tall lady. She then walked towards the podium, stood there and introduced herself as our class teacher. Then she asked our names and whereabouts and gave each one of us chocolates. Then she wrote the alphabets on the digital board and asked us to read each of them. Some of us stammered because of anxiety. But our teacher made us comfortable within few minutes with the new environment. She made us play letter games, musical chair and much more. After some time, the bell rang and the next teacher came in our class. He taught the numbers and one-digit addition and subtraction.

After three consecutive classes, there was a half an hour break. Mommy had given me snacks in a Barbie tiffin box. As I opened the tiffin box a kid just dashed me and my whole tiffin was on the floor. I caught hold his hand and screamed at him, he quietly said “Sorry” and offered me his tiffin. I refused at first but as he insisted me I ate half of his tiffin. Then we became friends and since then we are the best of friends. We always share our tiffin every day and he always eats most of it.

After recess, we had only two classes where we recited poems, shared our memories and told stories. We also we played hide and seek with our friends after the class. I made many friends that day and they often come to my house and we play together. The first day at my school was so fun full that I was not willing to come back home.

Mommy told me that for every child, the first day of the school is very special and memorable. And I feel proud enough to get a school like this where everybody is kind at heart.

Drinking Milk Everyday
My friend Elsa does not like to drink milk. Last week she fell sick and was missed school for many days. She had to visit her doctor uncle a few times. Her doctor uncle has asked her to drink milk regularly as milk contains calcium, protein, vitamins, minerals, and fats. Milk helps us to grow strong. My mamma always makes me drink milk everyday. She always tells me about the importance of milk as it helps to make our bones strong and prevents a lot of diseases. To make milk yummy mamma adds some chocolate or strawberry flavours to it.

The most common health benefits of drinking milk regularly are mentioned below:

Protects Our Bones

Drinking milk regularly helps in maintaining good health and it is a great source of calcium. Calcium protects our bones, it prevents migraine headaches, obesity in children and also helps to lose unwanted fats. It prevents our bones from getting osteoporosis in the older days. So, drinking milk every day will keep our bones strong even during old age.

Builds Our Immunity

Milk contains Protein which is essential for tissue repair, enzyme, and hormone synthesis, it gives a support to our immune system and helps in producing energy. It fights diseases and enhances our development. Protein provides the structure to our muscle fibres, renews cells, helps in keeping our nails and hair healthy.For this reason, our diet should contain enough protein. From one glass of milk, almost 8 grams of protein can be obtained.

Source of Energy

Milk contains lactose which is a source of carbohydrate. It provides energy to the body.To keep our bones strong, to maintain health benefits and to prevent future health risk due to lack of calcium it is essential to get the recommended amount of daily calcium intake.
Protects Our Teeth
Milk also protects our teeth. It decreases the chance of tooth decay and having weak gums. Milk protects the enamel surface of the teeth against any kind of acidic substances. So, every child should drink one glass of milk everyday to get strong and healthy teeth.

Protects Our Skin

Milk helps in keeping your skin fresh and rejuvenated. It contains Vitamin A which helps to boost our skin from within the body and keeps our skin healthy. Milk also prevents premature ageing of our skin. Regular intake of milk will help in maintaining that extra glow in our skin.

Mamma says that the health benefits of milk can be achieved by drinking it directly as well as consuming various milk products such as butter, cheese, yoghurt, ice cream, cottage cheese, flavoured milk or sweets made of milk. We get milk from goat, sheep, cow etc. It is a very nutritious food and tasty too.

I have another friend Cynthia, who has trouble in digesting milk. Her doctor aunty says that she is lactose intolerant. So doctor aunty suggested her to avoid lactose intake and asked her to drink soy milk or almond milk instead.
