Parents' Corner: The School Memories That Stayed With Us
Three TLS Rohtak parents on why school memories — their child's, and their own — never really fade.
“We didn't realize we were making memories — we just knew we were having fun.”
Every issue of Shri Srijan closes with Parents' Corner, a space where TLS Rohtak parents write in their own words about what school life has meant to their family. As this session wraps up, this issue's theme felt right: the school memories that stay with us.
The mother of Vedansh (6A) writes that school life is one of the most beautiful phases of a life, and that the memories made in those years stay in the heart forever — from a nervous, shy first day to a last day filled with both tears and laughter. She remembers the morning bell, recess games, and shared lunches building bonds that still bring a smile years later, and credits teachers — their guidance, support, and even their scolding — with helping shape who her child is becoming.
Preeti Khurana, mother of Ridhaan (2B), describes watching her child grow at school as a genuinely beautiful journey — new stories and a happy smile arriving home every day. She's clear that school isn't only about studies: it's about the confidence and values that get built alongside the syllabus, through the care of teachers who notice more than academic performance.
The mother of Reyansh (2B) writes about how those same small moments — recess, favourite teachers, competitions, even exams and homework — quietly shape who a child becomes. She adds a parent's perspective on it too: watching a nervous first day turn into confident belonging is its own kind of memory, one that belongs to the parent as much as the child.
Her line sums up why this column exists at all: “We didn't realize we were making memories — we just knew we were having fun.”
