“We are Children of Beaconhouse Liberty; We Work Like a Happy Family!” Mehwish Waqar
Mehwish Waqar completed her O Level in 2006 and A Levels in 2008 from BLL, securing a silver medal in both. She is currently doing her BBA from FAST-NU. “We are children of Beaconhouse Liberty; we work like a happy family”. This sounded like a meaning- less random song to me, something that we were supposed to sing every morning at the top of our voices, even though half of us were still thinking about our cozy beds. It was not until I reached the senior section that I actually realized how deep each word of the song was. Okay guys, it's so not going to be a normal kind of an alumni article, in which old students are usually whining about how badly they thought about their school and ended up loving it crazily after they had left it. My case was a little different! I had loved every single thing about my school even back then, when I was very much a part of it. It was honestly like a second home to me, because I had been part of this school all my life. In fact, even after O levels when I had the choice of leaving it, I preferred staying back. That's because I couldn't even imagine going to a school, other than BLL. This was MY school!! Even the whole magazine won't be enough if I start mentioning all the fun times that I have had here. It may sound clichéd but it has truly been the best time of my life!! From the monthly assessments, to the final exams, from the welcomes to the farewells, from the mid breaks to the free periods, from the result days to the school trips, from the uniform signing to the surprise birthdays, from the “coloured- clothes-on-birthdays” to the A levels designer uniform, from the convocations to the prize distribution ceremonies….I have had it all….! This place has given me so much that I am truly indebted, to all my teachers, to every single person who works in this institution. As for the students who are still lucky enough to be a part of it, I know most of you guys hate this place (or at least complain about it) but just go through the alumni section of the magazine and you will realize how many people like you have absolutely fallen in love with it immediately after leaving it. Enjoy every bit of being here. This place deserves much more than your whining! I can't even tell you guys how much this place has contributed in making me the kind of person that I am today. As an ending note I would just like to say that BLL holds a very special place in my heart. The time that I spent here, every moment is so unforgettable! This red building has truly made a big mark in my life and words are not enough to explain how much it means to me. Love you BLL...
