I passed my class 11 exams and am now in class 12. However, this year, I don't know what I feel when I enter a new class. Mostly, when a child passes or enters a new class, he or she feels very happy. Whenever I was promoted to the next class, I felt very happy because I was excited about my new sessions, new books, and new stationery. But now, when I passed class 11 and was promoted to class 12, I did not feel happy or excited. I ask myself why this happens, so my soul or my heart answers me: this is the last year when you are promoted and you are in school. This means this is the last session of my school life.

When kids come into my school, I see they are crying and my mother tells me I was also crying when my father left me at school when I was in nursery. After a few days, everything becomes normal. I think everyone on Earth starts his or her school's first day by crying for not going to school, and after a few days, everyone goes to school without the tension that one day they will never sit at those desks again or come in those school buses. Most of the time, children get irritated with teachers or with parent-teacher meetings.

Yes, this is my last year of schooling; how I come to the endpoint of schooling, I don't know. When I remember those days of my school life, I become emotional, and then my heart says to me, "Why are you becoming upset? There is one year left." But suddenly, I feel like not one year is left. From November to December, the pre-board exams start, and then practicals are held from January, and summer vacations are also there.

If I told you the truth about schooling, schooling existed only until eighth grade or maximum until class nine. Because ninth-grade students think they can reach a high percentage through tuition or self-study. They do not give importance to schools; schools also give them the "Non-schooling" option. Many students move to Kota and other coaching hubs for coaching when they are in the ninth or eleventh grade. When I was in class 10, I stopped my schooling in November, continued in class 11 after family pressure, and stopped in the middle of class 11. When I took the final exams for class 11, I did not complete my whole syllabus just because I did not go to school and study according to my will.

Then I realized what a big mistake I committed by not going to school. Today, I feel regret for that. But those days never come back again. In eleventh grade, my whole class decided on non-schooling, but one day my friends and I realized we were going to commit the same mistake. We canceled the plan for non-schooling and started schooling from the first day until now, and we did not stop schooling again. My class has more than 35 students, but only 5-8 attend class.

The non-schooling and coaching centers should be banned in India because they eat the most valuable or beautiful part of the life of children. Whenever I go on the junior wing bus, I see how innocent kids are praying for a holiday from school, but they don't know what precious days they have.

Whenever I talk with my friend who lives in Kota, he always asks me, "Bhai aaj school me kya hua?" then I reply, so he starts laughing and sometimes becomes emotional.

Thank You-
