As online lectures are new for us, teachers and students struggle to adjust to the new environment. With that being said I really miss having fun with friends during recess and the sports we played during sports hour.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pranav Patil, Agnel Institute of Technology and Design, Assagao<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=&#8221;2_3&#8243;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;3.8&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>Last year I was in class 11 and so there weren\u2019t many things that could be taken for granted since classes 11 and 12 are the life changing years for any student. I am going to answer the JEE, next year, so for me not much needed to be taken for granted. The list of joys I am missing is endless. To name a few of the enjoyable moments were the jokes our teachers cracked during their classes, the way we enjoyed learning in school with day-to-day examples, etc. I also miss the joyful moments spent with my friends. My mind does not let me forget the time we played with a staff member of own school after class hours. I hope to go to school once again as soon as possible and enjoy life as it was earlier before the pandemic came into existence.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ved Chetan Khandeparkar, GVMs Adarsh Higher Secondary School, Ponda<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243;][et_pb_image _builder_version=&#8221;3.8&#8243; src=&#8221;http:\/\/www.navhindtimes.in\/kuriocity\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Ved-Chetan-Khandeparkar.jpg&#8221; \/][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243;][et_pb_image _builder_version=&#8221;3.8&#8243; src=&#8221;http:\/\/www.navhindtimes.in\/kuriocity\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Ayana-Pinto.jpg&#8221; \/][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;2_3&#8243;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;3.8&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>I miss my school very much. I miss friends, teachers and school activities, school playground, etc, and the explanation of the teachers, written and oral tests.

When you\u2019re stripped off your daily routine, you begin to reflect on all the small things you took for granted. At that time they seemed insignificant, but now all I want is to experience those small aspects of life again. I miss being able to see and do things without being afraid that I might get sick. I took for granted simple things like waking up early for school, talking and socialising with friends, running around the basketball court, saying \u2018see you tomorrow\u2019 to my friends, these are the feelings I miss. I hope that our normal will come back soon.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Andrea Marie Colaco, resident of Vasco staying in Dubai<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243;][et_pb_image _builder_version=&#8221;3.8&#8243; src=&#8221;http:\/\/www.navhindtimes.in\/kuriocity\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Andrea-Marie-Colaco-1.jpg&#8221; \/][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243;][et_pb_image _builder_version=&#8221;3.8&#8243; src=&#8221;http:\/\/www.navhindtimes.in\/kuriocity\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Harvey-Johnson.jpg&#8221; \/][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;2_3&#8243;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;3.8&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>They say you never know the value of what you have until you lose it. I have been inside the house for 120 days, looking out the window hoping for the good old days to come back soon. I used to grumble all the time, \u2018why do I have to wake up early? Why don\u2019t I get to play with my phone,\u2019 etc. I miss the race to get the window seat in the bus. I miss seeing my teachers \u2018good morning\u2019 smile, sitting with friends in class, and most of all I miss the school playground.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Harvey Johnson, Regina Mundi High School, Vasco<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=&#8221;2_3&#8243;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;3.8&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>Our classes have started online and our teachers are doing such a wonderful job in teaching us even through this method. I always thought that school education could only be received in school classrooms but today we are attending classes from the safety of our homes, but I still miss going to school. I miss the personal interactions with my friends and teachers, the games we played on the school ground and playroom, and the various activities.
