So I brushed my teeth, ate breakfast, and got ready for school.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When I arrived, I thought nothing was going to happen. But then I went to the back of my school and saw a big wheel with every student&#8217;s name on it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I went to my line and the principal came out and made an announcement:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;This is not a regular wheel. This is a wheel with everyone&#8217;s names on it, and whoever&#8217;s name is chosen will be the principal for a day.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I was praying to get chosen. And to my surprise, I did! I never felt happier in my whole life!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I was taken to the principal&#8217;s office\u2014which was huge\u2014and then I decided to change some rules.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The first thing I changed? Bullying is NOT allowed. Simple as that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I also added a school canteen with prices that aren&#8217;t too high, because everyone deserves good food without having to empty their pockets. And those dirty classrooms? Gone. I turned them into clean, luxury classrooms where students actually want to learn.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I decided to lower the school fees too. They are not meant to snatch money from people who spend hours working at their best. And I removed the dress code so students can wear anything they want\u2014within reason, obviously. (No pyjamas, maybe?)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Any principal would want the best for their school, and I did. I added a bigger staffroom for teachers to relax, and an auditorium that would be the biggest in the country. I even hired more security guards to keep everyone safe.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">And after all that, I set the changes to permanent.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But then&#8230; time was up. An hour felt like a second.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I learned to never get too excited, because just like that, I was a regular student again.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mustafa Bin Ubaid| 5 Tulip I woke up thinking it was a regular Monday.
