Shoes or Feet

SCHOOL........my sis is a teacher, so she keeps sharing a lot of her experiences with me, about children, about studies, their new ways, their toys and gadgets, the change in the school enviornment....lots of stuff.
All that discussion made me think about my school days.......and i realised there was nothing much that i could cherish or remember....the subjects were always too foreign for me, i never really understood biology, chemistry, physics...in these classes i felt as if i was sitting in between aliens, listening to them talking in an alien language...
its just one memory which is very clear in my mind, the stair-case to my class-room had one saying written in bold, green letters...."I CRIED FOR A PAIR OF NEW SHOES, UNTIL I MET A MAN WHO HAD NO FEET"........and i very clearly remember asking my dad what it meant, because that statement had somehow struck a cord in me.....new shoes, no feet
I guess i had this spark of being humane, grounded, thinking differently, being nice, think beyond "me", a long time back and ofcourse thanks to papa for not scolding me that day for getting really bad marks in geography, rather explaining to me the more important fact about life....be satisfied, be happy with what u have......because there are millions who have nothing even close to what u have.....
and yes thats the only memory i have with me of school, something which i have cherished.
