Model Answer:
To everyone, school days are considered as the best days of their life and they 
remember the memories for the rest of their life. I also have numerous 
memories of my school days and I miss the day when I got caught for school 
bunking. 
Recently I have passed my college and now waiting for university admission. 
When I sit for studying the university admission materials, the past days 
appear before my eyes. I start missing the days. I was a student of the seventh 
grade at the Kendriya Vidyalaya in Hazratpur in Firozabad. There were some 
other students with me and we had formed a group. All of the group members 
used to occupy the last benches. Thus we were named as the ‘backbenchers’. 
Most of the times, the troubles in the class were created by us. But the 
teachers did not punish us severely or seriously as we were top students in the 
class as well. After any of the trouble, it became a policy of the teachers that 
they would ask us questions about our study and they could not make us stop 
with the academic issues. So, they could not punish us. Moreover, some of the 
students of the class were in our favour and thus we got rid of all the troubles. 
But one day, luck did not favour us. Unfortunately, none of the backbenchers 
have brought the copy that was used to answer the questions. So, we planned 
to bunk the class. In fact, we planned to bunk the school that day. Accordingly, 
all of us got out of school boundary by scaling the wall. Everything went right 
until one of us failed to cross the wall. He could not cross the wall and fell on 
the ground. He got injured and shouted for help. His shout attracted everyone. 
The school staffs came for his help and inquired about how he fell down. The 
boy told everything about the school bunking. When the boy was asked about 
the names, he described everything about us. He told about our names and 
rolls numbers to identify us. We were identified! 
The event is still memorable for several reasons. Firstly we termed the issue as 
treacherous to our group. He could have controlled everything by saying 
something different. But he did not. Rather he trapped us all. Accordingly, the 
next day, we were asked to explain the issue with the presence of our

guardians before the school principal. It was really difficult for us to face the 
principal with our parents. But we had no other ways left for that. So, we 
appeared before the principal and underwent different aggressive words 
against us. The principal reported our parents that he had inquired about the 
issue and came to know that we regularly bunk classes. In fact, we were 
becoming bad boys. We had connections with the other bad boys of the 
locality and to pass our time with them after we bunked the school. But the 
principal was wrong. We escaped school on those days when we forgot to 
bring home works or could not complete the tasks given by the teachers. 
Unfortunately, we did not have any chance to amend the mistake committed 
by the principal. 
When I remember the event today, I laugh out loud. All of the backbenchers 
were beaten by their parents and I also had the share. The beating started at 
the principal’s room and ended at our residence. My parents did not allow me 
to eat something for the entire day as punishment of bunking the classes. The 
situations were similar in the other houses as well. All of the backbenchers 
were punished. At that moment, we made the boy liable who fell down from 
the wall during the escape. Though we removed the boy from our group and 
allowed few others to make the group heavier. After that day, we behaved like 
good pupils in the class and all the teachers cancelled our seats at the back 
bench. But it was for a few days. Everything went the same. We went back to 
our old place and started bunking but this time we were serious about the 
issue lest we do not get caught like the last time. When I remember the event 
now, I feel how childish I was in those days. In fact, everyone was childish in 
their school days.
