We started each day with Assembly. Each class came in to the gym row by row. The school principal stood in the front and led the prayers. We said the Our Father and the prayer to our guardian angel. Then we sang one song in English and one in French. We were then all ready to start our day. I would look around at the faces at Assembly, and I could feel a serenity and a deep joy at being together and celebrating something greater than ourselves. We sang and prayed. Nobody rolled their eyes or caused a commotion. We enjoyed this time as much as any other part of our day. My experience of religious affairs had always been tainted with the feeling that it was something you put up with. But there, in Assembly, we were singing and having a good time. It was a solemn occasion without being stern. It was joyous without being frivolous. It felt good to be there. And it became a daily part of my life.
