APED given words:
nervous friend lucky often done shy sky evenings
The natural thirst for knowledge
Not to be compromised nor gambled
However nervous but to invoke the privilege
A friend to confide when dogged by troubles
Connecting of minds bonding of relationship
Lucky few endeavored when school reopened
Often a tendency done even to outstrip
That of siblings in certain circumstance
Shy ones quickly dispensed with such feelings
Up in the sky motivation to make a good start
Certainly not bogged down of traumatic evenings
Back to school enthusiasm by those who were smart

the natural thirst for knowledge is often murdered by a school system that focuses too much on knowledge in an out-of-books way... it's sad - i think there would be thousand more possibilities to teach kids all kinds of things in different wayys - it just needs a bit of fantasy
ReplyDeleteLearning more and more is the way to be, can never stop learning something at each sea
ReplyDeleteIt is so wonderful to experience that natural thirst for knowledge that an excited student has!
ReplyDeleteI think that thirst is something I have always had, but mindless schoolsystems has been more of barrier than inspiration..
ReplyDeleteIt's great when, as adults, we can approach learning with the enthusiasm of those little ones who are hungry for knowledge.

Mixed feeling of new friends - nervousness and smart ones - a place where minds connect.
ReplyDeleteFor some of us the "thirst for knowledge" never ebbs. I support the Zen concept that with each lifetime (& I've had quite a few) we are "in lesson"--& that in a gentle way we transfer some of that past knowledge with each new lifetime.
ReplyDeleteSchool is indeed a place where many things are discovered and enjoyed. I believe that most children do thirst for knowledge, at least originally. Sadly later many things get in the way. Some of the strongest bonds can also be forged then. My mother still has contacts with a few high school friends almost six decades after she graduated.
ReplyDeletethe world would be a paradise if every school encouraged a child's thirst for knowledge which is naturally diverse...schools ought to provide such opportunities to the children...love that photo...
ReplyDeleteI like the enthusiasm of going back to school, not withstanding sibling rivalry ~
