story time

When I was in 6th grade,I used to be a van student ,meaning instead of a bus ,a van used to pick us up from our home and drop us at our school everyday ,I was a van student from grade 1 till grade till grade 8.Wether it be rain,hot ,cold or even extreme rain,the van still managed to get us to school on time .I remember when it rained so heavily here our van driver had a plastic wrapper which was 3 feet wide,and all the kids used to be lined up and walked to school under that wrapper ,we felt like we were in the army that moment ,it was so weird but aubthat moment it was our only choice of going to school without getting our body wet and ruining our clothes.After that whenever it rained our driver used to pull out that same method and it always worked out,but during that process our driver used to get wet and sometimes even used to catch cold ,but never made our clothes get dirty by rain or not ruining them .I mean the worst part is that when our socks or shoes used to get wet and used to be drenched in water ,I know sometimes I used to enjoy just getting my socks wet only AFTER SCHOOL HOURS ,because all the guys used to do it so I figured why wouldn’t I .It was pretty fun but at the end when I got home my mom used to shout and yell ,which did made sense as I grew up.once in 6th grade along with a guy from my class who was one year elder than me ,we both decided to skip our van without telling our driver and went home on our ways together,we used to live nearby so it wasn’t a issue +it was during the time of Navratri so we did some pandaal hopping before going home and we did took darshan of our Mata in different places and different pandals then went on our way home ,few days later I alone did that again,it was fun actually later that day my driver of van asked me to call my dad and then he told everything to my father ,then I got shouting at home and it was weird ,all got angry on me at home and decided eventually that just in a year ,they will stop providing me van service as I had already grew up and no longer needed that ,But the most important thing and the part that I liked the most was that during our year end exams when it was our last and final day at school they used to hold a party for us ,not only our van but cans from all around the school used to hold party for all students ,in primary grade from 1-4, they used to hand out a hamper which included Pepsi can,chips,cake,and some chocolate ,later as we grew up they took us to Dominos ,and once even showed us the interior kitchen of dominos ,it really lightened us up .This is probably the only reason why I miss my van services.
