WHERE IT ALL BEGAN--"MY SCHOOLING DAYS AT FORT CATHOLIC GIRLS SCHOOL, VISAKHAPATNAM"


 Some places are more than just buildings—they are the beginning of a journey, the quiet witnesses of 

our  growing years. For me, that sacred place was Fort Catholic Girls School in Visakhapatnam.

I feel truly blessed to have studied there. It wasn't just a school; it was a garden of goodness where kind-

hearted teachers sowed seeds of knowledge, discipline, and grace. I still remember day one—the 

hesitant little girl I was, sobbing and clinging to familiar hands, not ready to let go. But life had its 

plans. And so began a beautiful chapter that would last till my 10th standard.


The school stood strong and serene, right next to St. Aloysius Boys School, where my siblings studied. 

There was something comforting in knowing they were just across the wall, learning and growing too.

Our uniform was simple—a crisp white shirt paired with a neat blue frock, and oh, how proud we felt 

wearing it! The corridors echoed with laughter, prayers, and the ringing of bells that marked both 

endings and beginnings.


The teachers, ah! They were like second mothers—firm, gentle, and ever-patient. So many names still 

linger in my heart, etched forever like chalk on a blackboard. Every lesson they taught, every story they 

told, shaped the person I am today.


Those school days were more than just a routine—they were memories stitched together like a beautiful

 quilt. Morning assemblies, lunch breaks , exam days, rainy mornings..

.. all still feel just a blink away.

As I look back now, I realize how deeply those walls shaped me—not just academically, but in values, 

faith, and character.


Thank you, Fort Catholic Girls School, for being a home of learning, love, and lasting friendships.

A part of me will always walk those corridors, wearing that blue frock, heart full of dreams.


Until next time,

Greeshma.
