Father’S Letter To His Daughter On Her First Day At School

[JANASENA]

"Darling,

I'm sure you'll be given your own little rule book from school, a list of things to do and not to do. And we'll read that together. But I also want you to give this a once over. And decide for yourself what to take from it, if anything at all.

 

1. Don't be yourself.

The entire world will tell you to be yourself. Don't. Be anyone you want, any day of the week, any hour of the day. Be a princess, be a frog, be a rocket, be the wind, be a rock, be an island, be one of those characters from Doraemon. Keep experimenting, keep evolving, keep surprising everyone. Keep surprising yourself.

 

2. Be social. But only if you want to.

No pressure at all. If someone forces you to make friends with someone you don't want to make friends with, just walk away. It's good to talk to other people, it's good to have company. But it's also good to trust your gut. So if your gut tells you that the boy you're standing in front of will make a good friend, shake his hand. If your gut flashes warning signals, wait. There's no hurry. Take your time to open up.

 

3. Hear your teacher.

Hear what your teacher says. Hear what I say. Hear what Ma says. Hear what your grandparents say, hear what your friends say. Then, form your own opinion, your own understanding, and listen to only that. You don't have to listen to career advice. But you do need to hear it. Keep your eyes and ears open always, soak it all in. Then take your time to filter the useless stuff out, and the useful ones in.

 

4. Cry.

If you really want to, let it out. It's cool. Never be embarrassed. It's fine if other kids are watching, don't let that bother you. If you need help, seek it. Tell your teacher what's troubling you. If she can solve it, she will. If you think she can't, ask to speak to either Ma or me.

 

5. Hit back.

You'll find bullies in school as you grow. You'll find kids eating up your tiffin without asking you, elbowing you around, making fun of your ears. Don't get pushed around. If you don't like what someone is saying, ask them sternly to stop. If someone gets into a fight with you, hit back. But once, okay darling? And make that once count.

 

6. Go outside your group.

You'll be encouraged to stay within your group. Not to stray. But try to, when you think nobody's looking. Go say 'hi' to someone who's way older to you. Or way younger than you. Or a teacher who doesn't teach you. Get out of your comfort zone every once in a while. Start random conversations with random people. But again, only if you want to.

 

7. Zebras are not black and white.

And the sun is not yellow. And the night is not black. Use your imagination babe. Make the world, the way you see it inside that head of yours. And make people see it like the way you do. And if they can't, if they can only see a zebra in black and white, then too bad.

 

8. Share everything. Especially food.

Food unites people. Never be selfish about food. There's always plenty to go around. If you think you need more tiffin, just ask. When you share, you make other people share too. Tiffins, ideas, philosophies, stories.

 

9. Don't put your hand up.

If you don't know the answer to something, it's fine. I don't know the answers to half the problems in my life. But we learn. So keep that little hand down and observe. Hear what the right answer is. Lock it inside that head of yours, put it inside that folder titled 'Things I Need To Know'. So the next time you're asked, you will.

 

10. Fail Harder.

You'll never have either Ma or me giving you a dressing down if you've failed in class. Failing is fine. By failing, you learn to try harder. Or, ditch that subject altogether. I ditched Maths just before class 11. I gave my final exams with 6 subjects while the rest of my friends had 7. It's important to identify what you don't like. And the sooner, the better. It helps you find the things you do like.
