Independence Day
Independence day, the day all of us wait for and cherish. Our school takes the initiative to promote patriotism in all of us. We acorns are able to respect our country and honor the sacrifices made by all those countless heroes who strived to protect and release India from the slavery of the British.
This year on 15th August, once again, grand celebrations started in our school. Despite being kept only between the teachers and students with no involvement of parents due to the outbreak of flu, we were extremely excited and enthusiastic. The day began with all of us gathering in the garden to celebrate. We sat down, keen to watch the celebrations unfold! First, we heard the inspiring speeches from our Director sir, Principal ma’am and other school leaders. Our proud NCC cadets marched with the school flag. Then, the moment came when the Indian Flag was unfurled. Flowers dropped down and the national anthem was played. The trees seemed to dance as we sang our national anthem with pride and zeal. After that, we as a school sang many songs and through that expressed the fire in our hearts that fuelled the very soul of the country.
All in all, it was an unforgettable experience. The memory of celebrating our country with 3000 warriors of our school still sends chills down my spine. This taught me one thing- “ Duty, honor, country.” Those three hallowed words reverently dictate what you ought to be, what you can be, what you will be”.
