A life is created in a classroom
A life is created in a classroom, it happens in a way to making you feel dizziness. The books that we read and the education we had, tumble.
The life begins for a child from the moment of stepping inside from a door of a school. A child wants to be loved, to love, to hear her/his name but also to be lost in her/his corner sometimes. A child plays a game and then forgets time and space, wants it to take forever, wants to set up a game, wants her/his all friends come to a game that she/he sets up, wants to be called settled games or to stay away from all games. A child wants to cry when she/he falls, crying as much as she/he wants, a child wants to cry by not being heard but also wants to be heard by one of her/his friends, also wiped her/his tears, looked into her/his eyes. A child wants to know all questions, wants to go to the blackboard but not to answer anything. A child loves to chat about something while eating some snacks but sometimes never wants to speak, gets offended a lot, the grounds slips below her/his feet sometimes and offends someone sometimes unintentionally, gets sad when she/he learns it, her/his heart gets cold. A child feels like a legend sometimes as if she/he flies, sometimes she/he wants “it” never ends, sometimes seconds hang heavy, it is very difficult, it looks very long...
Above given paragraph consists of sentences that I have heard from children in a classroom as a teacher for years. Yes, these are children’s sentences... Passes between these feelings, these thoughts surrounding them are from us, ask yourself, how many times you think about adult version of above written ones. Sometimes we freeze, sometimes we escape, sometimes we fight. Sometimes life is beautiful, birds fly, sometimes the ground is iron and the sky is copper. Having these feelings and thoughts from us does not mean that they are exhausted, especially if you are still little or if you pass through dizzy experiences of adolescence period.
