Write about your schoollng and Junior college days - using Past tense. 07 MARKS

As time passes by, I grew up and had to continue my studies to one of the local college exactly after I finished my high school. There's a lot of comparison l've made between high school life and college life, which in a way it has a lot of differences in many aspects. In college, I find my social life has changed. Since l'm away from my parents, it's easy for me to go out anytime I want especially during at night where there was no curfew at all. Back then, when lwas in high school my parent doesn't allow me to go out as often as I wanted. Here in campus I met new friends which all of them have different kind of attitudes and thoughts. lt seem they're more mature than my previous friends in high school. l'm glad having chances on making new friends from different states and country, which I also learnt much about their culture. Focusing on the discipline aspects, high school have a lot of rules to be obeyed, example hair that is longer than the shoulder length should be tied up neatly, shoes should be white and all the students has to wear an appropriate particular school uniform. Looking in the bright side of a college there is fewer rules to be obeyed while hairstyle and cloths are not a big deal. Fortunately, we don't have to wear any uniform to attend lectures and classes. Living in campus, are like heaven ratherthan life in school. In school hostel, we strictly has to follow exact time to sleep where there will be a warden in charge to ensure us to sleep. Meanwhile in campus there are no time limits to sleep or do whatsoever you want to do, which we can stay awake for the rest of the night There are lot of differences between teachers and lecturers, as for me; lecturers are open-minded than teachers back in school. They can also be our friends instead, where we can easily have discussion with them. Teachers in my school were strict and use the rod to beat the boys very frequently. College teachers are like elder brothers.

Most of the teachers in a college live in the world of ideas and books. We had students of all kinds in a college. They used to discuss the current affairs, art, cinema and sports. Some of them would even engage the teachers in class in a politicaltopic and discuss it fully.

College life had given me a lot of political awareness; I had also got good grounding in electioneering. The elections to the college union, for which there was a lot of canvassing gave me my first experience of democracy. accept their demands. So they would force other students to go on a strike I liked the college life for it's for its freedom, intellectual awakening and its various academic and extracurricular activities. I shall never forget the happy days I spent in the college.
