16 DECEMBER

-

 Peshawar, a city, where the mothers waited for her children to return from school but instead their dead bodies were delivered to her. A city where a father failed to see his kids living their dreams. On 16 December 2014 Taliban gunmen stormed the Army Public School in the northern city of Peshawar. More than 150 people were killed, 132 of them were children. This day is also known as ''BLACK DAY''

Some students, including 18 year old Yasir Iqbal, gathered


in the large auditorium and were attentively listening to a lecture. Others sat at their desks, eyes on the clock instead of the blackboard, silently urging for the hands to move faster for the day to end so they could go home.

In grade one, it was six year old Khaula's first day of school. She was overjoyed that she had finally joined her siblings instead of staying home. Who knows, it would be her only day at school. Eighth-grader Uzair Ali saw the attackers and jumped to shield his friends by lying on top of them. He was killed, shot 13 times but he managed to save his companions. Fourteen year old Fahad Hussain opened a door so his friends could run out. He stayed by the door making sure everyone was evacuated. He was gunned down while doing so.

After the attack, Pakistan civil and military leadership chalked out National Action Plan and started operation Zarb-e-Azb against the militants in North Waziristan. The day is being mourned today across Pakistan.

After this many schools pay tribute to the martyrs of APS Peshawar. Many heart-touching songs are played to commemorate the incident.

''THEY WENT TO SCHOOL                                                   
  AND NEVER CAME BACK''

You want me to lead the group but I don't think I have the right qualities (Story Writing)

-
 Back in 2018, when I was in grade 7, one of our teacher divided us in groups to write a suspense story. There were three groups in total, each group consists of six members. My group members said that you have to lead the group but I don't think that I have the right qualities. But our teacher motivate me and said that you have the guts to lead a group. Then first of all I asked each and every member of our group about the points which we have to include in our story. But I was a bit nervous because it was the first time that I was leading a group. Then we begin writing a story, then suddenly our teacher said "Whoever will write a good suspense story will be awarded with gold medal"! Then we got even more excited to write a story. We wrote a story with great efficiency and courage. In about 2-3 hours our story was completed. We showed it to our teacher and she liked it, and the gold medal was awarded to our group. From this I learnt that we should not degrade ourselves ...
