Essay: My First Day at College


I passed S. S. C part II examination in ‘A’ Grade and thought of getting admission in college. I applied for admission in Govt. Degree College. After a few days list of successful candidates was pasted on notice board of college and I was among those candidates who were selected. I was allotted Roll number and I was proud of being student of college. The classes were to start from the list of next month.

On the first day I put on my college uniform and went out for college. I reached the college well before the time. I found myself among smart and active boys. They were the senior students who had arrived early to make first years fools of us. They greeted the new comers with funny remarks. Most of us got nervous and this encouraged them further to laugh at us they teased and ridiculed us.

At 8.30 AM the college peon rang the bell. All the students entered the class room. It was my first day in college it was quite new experience for me. Naturally I was exited and waited for the lecturer. The lecturer of English came in and began to call over the roll number. It was quite amusing to hear the boys responding to their roll numbers in different ways. After roll call the lecturer spoke it was about the rules, regulations and environments of the college. He advised us to maintain the discipline in college. After it he told us about the course scheme of English. After the period of English there was period of chemistry, the lecturer of chemistry also spoke about the discipline and other things like attendance etc. In this way every teacher lectured us on that day about the importance of college education the way we could profit from it.

My impressions of the first day at college are still fresh in my memory. I was happy, nervous and excited all at the same time. The word college had been a great attraction to me ever since.

Many times before, I had come to this place with my brother, cousins and friends. Now I my self was the student of this college. It was a different place for me as before I conceived it to be. Before I saw it out wardly but now I was seeing it very closely, its classes, laboratories, its play ground, its parks and its canteen now belonged to me. I was feeling special attachment for it. It was so because I was its member.

I can not fully express my ideas and my feelings that rose in me. As I entered the gate of ground wonderful and attractive building of the college experienced a strange kind of joy. Some where in my mind there was the hope that college should inspire me to things of higher worth the college would give me knowledge and wisdom and make me good citizen.

Essay on Teaching as the Noble Profession

There are many professions which man has adopted according to his knowledge and ability. A person can adopt any profession or business. It depends upon his aptitudes and mental capability. All profession are equally important for the human development. But the teaching is the profession which has lead people on the high way of progress and prosperity. No development had been possible if there had been no teacher. All the sciences all the arts and crafts and all the civilizations and cultures are due to the teaching. In fact teaching is the noble profession let me call the teaching as prophetic profession, because invariably all prophets are teachers. They taught and preached the message of God.  The importance and nobility of this profession is evident from a tradition of Holy Prophet (Peace by upon Him) in which he says “I have been sent to you as a teacher” in an other Hadith Holy Prophet (Peace by upon Him) says “He who is neither teacher nor student is not a Muslim” these

Nothing is Impossible in the World (Essay)

When we takes up many things in hand and fail in the most of them we bewail our lot and try to console by saying that we were fated to achieve this and fail in that. But fate is a figment of man’s imagination, it is refuge only for those who are cowardly and lack in determination. Because nothing is impossible in the world. Man is architect of his own fate. He can make himself if he has the will. He can also mar himself if he wavers and submits to opposing forces. A man of determination never fails. His unshaken determination coupled with this unflinching endeavour carries him to the goal and makes him thoroughly successful man. But a man who trembles of every step and has no confidence in himself, can never reach the goal and dies an inglorious death. Robert Bruce could never have regained his mother land from clutches of the enemy if he submitted to the so called fate and gave up the attempts. If Mahmood Ghaznavi has lost the hope, he could not have conquered the Somnath temple
