Ram Kishor Convent Inter College

Our school is tucked away near the university area in Abhishek Puram Colony, over in Jankipuram. Being in Lucknow, it gets quite hot, but the building stays relatively cool during the day. We have got students from all over the neighborhood coming in every morning. It is an inter college, so we see a lot of teenagers trying to figure out their next steps. The hallways are usually noisy between classes, which is just how schools are. We have a decent staff of teachers who live around this part of the city. They put in the hours, grading papers and trying to keep the kids focused on their books. The furniture in the classrooms is older, wood mostly, and has seen a lot of use over the years. We do not have a huge campus, but there is enough room for the kids to hang out during their breaks. Managing a school involves a lot of small tasks, like fixing a fan or dealing with a missing register. We try to keep the gate secure and the schedule moving. Parents often come by to talk about how their kids are doing, and we sit down in the office to chat. It is not a fancy private institution with a swimming pool or anything like that. It is just a regular place for local families to send their children for an education. We focus on the books and the exams, and that is about it.
