New Beginning!

"Today in Ghana; all basic schools officially resumes from the usual long vacation. Some may have missed school activities and friends, others wished not to go back again due to personal issues with a teacher or probably school not being friendly.
It is a new beginning and a joyful one to those transiting from one stage to other. well, to those who are not academically good and had to resit, it is a chance to do better next time though it hurts sometimes.
As we go back to school; Who has thought of our dear friends with physical challenge(s)? Are they going back to enjoy discrimination in pain, suffer from climbing that tall stairs to get to class?
What preparation has our dear parents made to support us and make sure we enjoy this new academic year, and make the best out of it? Are our books ready,  has our previous fees and the current fees been paid? Do we still have to put on that torn uniform for another term? Or the money to put all these in place has been used to purchase cloth for funeral and the upcoming party? Uhm;  just want to ask.
And that reminds me; are our schools furnished? Is the restroom well equipped to protect the privacy of girls? They matter a lot. I've missed practical, is the lab ready for use. Excuse me, a second please, will the period for physical education be exchanged with Mathematics since it is seen to be so important than every subject? Myself and friends have the right to play!
If I find answers to all these questions, and the right investment is done, I will enjoy this new academic term, and never feel reluctant to go to school. And with the support of my parents and their supervision, I will develop fully and reach my full potential".
