The blue railings, the whole school... |

Staring at the blue railings, my heart was torned.
The rusty railings, which once I hated.
The old railings, which once i wished to have them changed.
The smelly railings, which once i tried to avoid touching, now became something I am used to -- became my company.
Every morning before lessosn starts, I would walk pass the railings, heading for the classroom. Every break, I would walk pass the railings, heading to the tuckshop. Every lunchtime, I would pass the railings, heading for the supermarket or the bakery. Every afternoon after school, I would walk pass the railings, heading home.
Not until today did I realize the blue, old, smelly, railings had became my company.
Holding onto it for the second last day, I do not wish to let it go, I don't want technology to destroy it, to knock it down. Even though it is torn and ugly, it has become part of my life.
When singing the school hymn, i glanced at the whole school for a second, i have never felt this spirit before -- the spirit of DGS, it was as if every DGS student really become "one family".
I have alsways thought our headmistress has romanticized the "one family" of DGS, but now I finally understand. "One family unbroken" and "One heart" are what we all are at that moment -- the same heart, the same feeling about the reconstruction. I know i would miss the school. Come to think about the new builing, the nostalgic characteristic of the old DGS buildling seemed to have gone. And technology has covered it -- the whole history of DGS.
The new chapel, the 3 bells, the library.... they might be great, wonderful, gorgeous when we come back, however, i am only scared that nothing of the old DGS will be left.
I do not know why, this is only the first time i have a feeling about the reconstruction of DGS...
