Strange feelings in school age

Perhaps everyone has experienced the shaky years of puberty, when in your heart there are all kinds of strange emotions that you don’t know how to name. At that time, I was a quiet student, studying so-so and not outstanding in anything.

My world was limited to the pages of books, the times my mother scolded me for low test scores, the afternoons I sat there wondering what I would become.

Until I felt moved by a very gentle smile. I started studying harder because I wanted to sit next to you when we were divided into study groups. I started trying my best in every assignment because you often looked at the scoreboard. No one taught me to change. It was that pure feeling - though never expressed - that awakened something that had been dormant for too long in me: the consciousness of wanting to become better.

Student love is very short. But it is the first fire, warming me through the gloomy days, helping me realize that only when I change, can I move forward. I went to university, went to work, stumbled, and then grew up - all starting from the day I wanted to "see her a little more".

Many years later, my old friend became my life partner. In the midst of the hustle and bustle of life, in the midst of empty-handedness and struggles, we sometimes argued and got tired. But then we held hands and continued walking. Just like that year - when we were both students - we looked forward together. Now, every time I look at my child sleeping soundly, I silently thank my first love from school. Because it was he who made me a strong man - me today.
