Wakacje za rogiem! A z nimi lato, a z nim nowy numer magazynu AimHigh! Im bliżej wakacji, tym bardziej ciąży rzeczywistość szkolna, bo ile to już się uczymy? 8 miesięcy? Najwyższa pora udać się w świat marzeń i zadać sobie pytanie – czy jest takie „coś”, jak idealny dzień w szkole? Jest (chyba), a próbuje tego dowieść Ksenia z klasy 3b. Przeczytajmy!

WHAT WOULD A PERFECT DAY IN SCHOOL LOOK LIKE?
It’s 7:30 a.m., and I’m well-rested – yes, well-rested! That is the first sign that something is out of place. I looked at my watch, and time stood still. Is it some miracle? No, it’s just a perfect day in school.
Instead of rushing to catch a bus, I went for a long and relaxing walk in the sunshine with a cup of coffee from my favourite cafe by the park. No one cuts the line, everyone is kind and happy. Everything is perfect.
8.00 – the school bell is ringing, but it is not that awful bell that keeps me awake even after no sleep for two days. It’s more like the sound of violin and piano. The first lesson is religious education, but first the roll call in the school hall where we pray. Here comes a test of the 10 Commandments, but wait, it’s the perfect day so we have a conversation over the tea about how to be a good human. The teacher is smiling and the students are very active, is it a dream?
9.00 – Mathematics, it is strange, I understand everything… The tasks are easy and I even got a good grade for my activity during the lesson. The teacher says: “Today, exceptionally, there will be no tests or homework, you have free time for the rest of the lesson”. I’m over the moon.
10.30 – Lunch break. The cafeteria serves freshly made waffles and croissants with jam and fruits, for drinks there are coffee, tea or hot chocolate. In the background, the music is playing and everyone can add their favourite song to the playlist.
11.00 – Polish lesson, but instead of writing an essay we are watching films and talking about the literary context in “Matrix” and “Harry Potter”. Suddenly a teacher asked if anyone would like to talk about what the main character felt, and everyone in the classroom wanted to say something.
13.00 – PE, but today we were not running in circles instead we went for a long walk, the weather was perfect so the teacher bought ice cream for everyone.
13.50 – we were supposed to have one more lesson but it turned out that our teacher was absent so we all went home.
On my way home I felt that my backpack was strangely light and was even more excited for the long afternoon at my home doing…
And then… the sound of my alarm. 6.20. It’s time to get back to reality. But you know what? A day like this is not impossible, well, maybe not a whole like this but even a part of it would make a big difference. Sometimes we should do something to make our day in school more “perfect”, try listening to positive music in the mornings and see if your energy changes.
