The
ancient proverb “Cleanliness is next to godliness” is one of the most well-known
and apt sayings that I have ever heard. This saying suggests that being clean
is nearly as good as being godly or very holy.
We
can see an example of this in our own school. When we walk into an unclean
classroom with waste strewn all over the floor, the children look distressed
about the condition of their working environment. On the other hand when we
walk into a bright and clean classroom with the children happy and content we
can feel the difference within ourselves. This also proves we are happier in
cleaner surroundings. Cleanliness is traditionally associated with good health,
tidiness, and purity. The purposes of cleanliness include health, beauty and
contaminants to oneself and others.
However, despite
knowing these facts, educated children are ignoring the benefits and the
importance of keeping themselves and their clean surrounding. They throw their
waste when and where they feel like it. Sometimes it is so uneasy to say
Prayers among them due to their stinky socks. The importance of cleanliness should
not be forgotten and the children should start caring not only about their
classrooms and about their school but about their communities too, localities
and eventually their country. So join hand together to keep our school’s
environment clean and free of unhygienic elements.
