Make these holidays memorable

This is with reference to the article “Make these holidays memorable” (YW, July 8), where he says that enjoying summer vacation for two whole weeks is enough, after that, one must spend time constructively.

It is true that holidays are the perfect time for children as well as youngsters to explore and learn new things, which they can’t otherwise do in their hectic study schedule.

Life lesson learnt in school

This is regarding the article “Life lessons learned in school” by Rafia Ahmed (YW, July 8). As a student, in my opinion, school is the best place for someone who wants to build their basic needs, including discipline, education, as well as many other important lessons. I have faced and experienced this.

Many people, after finishing their school life, start realising the value of those days, but they don’t know that once the school days are gone, they never return. Therefore, it is better to have a lot of fun and enjoy your school life to the fullest instead of realising it later.

We all encounter these awkward situations in our daily life and tend to view such situations as mistakes and try to conceal them. This is absolutely wrong, we should respond naturally.
