Bring change, be the change!

Recently I visited my School after so many years passing by thinking how things have changed after I passed and to see how my teachers have been doing. Parking my car in the parking lot, pressing the security lock key, I turned my head towards the building I grew up learning new things, making my curiosity question things and letting my teachers answer them. "Aah, this is the place I grew up learning new things, making myself capable enough to stand head held high in a society today. How madly I was in love with this place almost 5 years back, no words to this feeling!"

I entered through the gate wished by the Watchman who was someone new I never saw in my time. He let me in to the Supervisor's cabin. The Supervisor(a new one, i didn't knew) sat there with her glasses on the tip of her nose reading school magazine article by a kid of her school; her face was filled with proud and she seemed satisfied and happy that her kids were making a name for themselves and the School.

"Good Morning Ma'm", I interrupted her moment of proudness with a gentle wish.

"Good Morning", she looked at me with surprise, trying to recollect my face in the back of her mind. Fighting with her memory she finally gave up and asked, " Yes ma'm, how can I help you?"

"I apologise for turning up and disturbing you in the school hours but I am an X student of this school and I just thought I would love to see my teachers who helped me through to be what I am today and have a glimpse of how things have changed after I passed out so long.", and I glanced at her with questioning eyes waiting for her to agree.

With a smile on her lips she nodded her head to yes and said, "Sure, take your  time and don't worry - if you have to disturb the classes.. "

I felt a sense of relief and I left her cabin with a smile, walking straight to the pre-primary section of the school and there while I was looking around the wall cartoons I bumped into my pre-primary teacher. I was shocked to see her still there in that same department after so many years. And there you go, she looked at me for a few minutes and finally recognised me.

And bet me the feeling you get being recognised by your first class teacher is something you just cannot imagine until you yourself have one. She took me with her to her own class of 40 students she handled and they all were curious to see a new person coming in. She asked me how I had been and what I was upto.
Just in the middle of our talking a kid came up to her and asked her who I was. She introduced me to them saying I was her student almost thirteen years from now and told them how I grew up studying and what I was going to do with my career. And then she asked them to ask me questions in case if they had any.
A kid raised his hand out of nowhere and before I could say anything he just threw his curiosity at me - "What you do? Why did you come back to school?"

In reply to his question I told him that I was a student of this school like he is and I am going to become a computer engineer soon in the next few months; and I came back to this lovely place because I missed seeing my teachers. And with some more explaination and thankfulness towards my teacher I moved ahead with my journey towards othe classes and the teachers. I felt happy while coming out of the school, making the teachers feel proud and satisfied that thier kid has become somebody who contributes, makes a difference to the society in a positive way.

Driving back home, I was recalling the whole trip I had to that special place in my life. How I had changed, how the school had changed. Change is good isn't it? and it is for the good. For it is you who changes for the better and to do better ahead. You change because you want to accomplish things which you dream of; You change because you want to prove that you can do better than you did yesterday; you change because you want to see and learn new things. You change to see failure through a different perspective in Life and to see life itself through a different perspective. You change to say You are treating life well instead of Life is treating you well. Everything requires a change and the changes let you add that extra charm, the extra cream to your coffee when you sip it with happiness because you feel satisfied that it is you and only you who changed for the better to come, to see, to feel and to understand that what lies ahead might take you through rough phases but in the end the changes will lead you to summit..!

The power to change is the one of the key to success for it is you who lets it happen and the best part, It lets you be You..!
