Short essay on '' Life In School Hostel .''

Every good school has a hostel attached to it for the residence of teachers and students , coming from distant places . Our school also has such a hostel.

It consists of a long one storied building of twenty rooms open on all sides . One of these rooms is for the superintendent , while the others are for teachers and students .There is a separate building for the kitchen and the menials .

We have to live a strictly regulated life in the hostel . At five in the morning rings a bell . We have to get up at once , ease ourselves and was our faces . Then comes the morning tiffin which varies from day to day . The next three hours we devote to our studies . Some of the resident teachers go round our rooms and help us through our difficulties . After a little rest we have our bath and breakfast , and then we go to our classes . After school we get some substantial tiffin which also varies from day to day . The afternoon is devoted to physical exercise of some sort , often under the supervision of some of our physical Instructors. On return to the hostel we first wash ourselves and then sit down at our studies . Our supper comes at about 9 p.m. after which we retire to bed. There are occasional variations in this program ; but the Superintendent and other teachers see to it that we do not indulge in any undesirable activity .

I always felt sick for home for a long time after I had first come to the school hostel . My heart yearned for the loving touch of my parents and others and for the comforts I always enjoyed at home. But as time has passed on , I have begun to feel at home here . There is no want of friendship with all that it means . We are thirty boarders making up a family with the Superintendent as the head . If anyone falls ill ,  the hostel doctor comes in and the fellow boarders give him all the care and attention he may require .

Hostel life has its advantages too. It gives us habits of self - help . We have to take care of our personal belongings ourselves , make up our own beds and live under strict control from morning to night . These are the habits which I am sure will stand me in good stead in my future life .
