Students – When you pass your entrance exams you are not a student yet, but only an applicant. But when you can see your name in the list of people enrolled you begin to feel being a student a little. Then at the meeting of freshmen you get your student membership card, your student record book and your library card. But you can name yourself a real student only after the first exam session when all tests, passes and exams are in the past and you have a long-waited vacation. Sometimes there are failures. It happens when you hardly read up for your exam or cram, or crib. Some students are hard-working while the other ones play truant having no good excuse.
