The pleasures of school life extend beyond just activities and events held for enrichment purposes though. The most prominent one is that of comaraderie among the friends one makes in school. I remember the times spent going to eat at the nearby eating places or to hang out at the nearby shopping mall after school, the times spent going to buy snacks and sweets to munch on while studying in the library, as the exams drew near, the times spent helping one another through the preparations, both intellectually and emotionally, the times spent laughing over the teachers' antics and sharing ghost stories and the times spent being there for one another when there were personal problems to deal with.
Yet another one is teachers' help, guidance and patience with students. My lecturers and tutors spent time with us in the library as the exam preparations grew more intense, gave us pep talks to encourage us so that we weaker students didn't feel neglected or ostracized due to favouritism and addressed questions that may have appeared stupid to them with immaculate patience and heaving no insults upon us. These exceptional teachers made a difference and I actually passed their subjects as opposed to those who gave up on us because we failed their subjects.
