The Past

Months before my graduation in elementary, I have already felt that days are passing very fast that I cant even notice that it is already the end of another month. I’ll always remember those days when my friends and me are very happy together, laughing together, and even crying together. I can’t just help it. You know? I have spent eight years in LCS together with my friends. Well LCS is really not big, that’s why I always see the same faces every year, and that it also the reason why we became very close with each other during those eight years of being together.

There are many things that happened during those years that I will never forget like when we and my friends would quarrel with each other, would laugh with no reason at all, and all those childish things that happen in lives of every child.

I could remember when we were still in Grade five, it was my neighbor who became my adviser and that was my first time to be very close with my teacher. Maybe it is also because their family was very close to me because her younger sister was my best friend even before we transferred in that place.

We shared a lot of moments during my grade five days. It was my first time to be interested in playing the drums. Well it is not really a drum set but those drums that a school uses every time they sang a national anthem and it is really fun. Actually they call me “Addict on Drums”, because they always hear me tapping the table every now and then.

It was also in the same year that I saw my classmates being panic because of a big rat. Well it is really very big, I think about 9-10 inches long and it made my classmates shout very loud that I think the whole school heard it, and the funny thing is my teacher is also afraid of it and she was the one who jumped first on top of a chair and as usual they all laughed at me because I really screamed very hard and I was also in the first line because all the girls had already ran on the back, well actually I was not about to shout at the time but it make feel me panic when I saw the rat running towards me, and all the boys were chasing the rat as if they were very happy.

Remembering all of these would really make me cry, although I didn’t mind many things or events that happened when I was on my last year it also made me regret one thing, that I have missed the remaining days together with my friends. Maybe because I was upset with the turning of events, that’s why it made me feel stressed, and nightmares always visit my dreams. So I said to myself that I will make my best to use my remaining days to fill those empty days which I have regretted very much.

During my graduation I thought that I am going to cry but it seems that there are no more tears that is coming out from my eyes but its my heart whose crying very hard. Then I asked myself a question “How can I turn my back from the past if it had taught me of many wonderful things that a person could never expect”.
