St Teresa Mmorial Convent

Down in Laxmipur, which is part of Laheriasarai in Darbhanga, you will find St Teresa Mmorial Convent. It is one of those schools that has become a landmark for the people living nearby. The address is easy to find, and we have a fairly large gate that marks the entrance. It is a convent school, so there is a certain way we do things every day. The atmosphere is generally quiet except for when the kids are on their break. We have a big courtyard where the morning sun hits the ground, and that is where the students line up. The classrooms are simple with high ceilings to keep the air moving during the hot summer months. Most of our furniture is made of wood and has been used by many different classes over the years. We spend our days going through the syllabus and making sure the kids understand their lessons. There is always a stack of notebooks waiting to be corrected in the staff room. We have a few cupboards filled with old records and books. The neighborhood is mostly residential, so we know the parents and the families quite well. It is a humble place, and we just keep things running as best as we can, day after day. It is more about the people here than the building itself. We have some cracked tiles and the paint is peeling in spots, but it feels like home.
