Duties of Students
A student has many duties—to himself, to his family, and to society. His duties to himself are very important because student life is the most vital part of one’s life. It is, in fact, the seed time of life, and the success or failure of a person's future depends largely on how he uses this time.
The primary and most important duty of a student is to devote himself sincerely to his studies. He should not waste his time and energy on anything unproductive. Learning lessons properly, doing homework regularly, and acquiring knowledge with sincerity should be his main concern.
Besides academic duties, a student must also take care of his physical health. A healthy body is essential for a healthy mind. Therefore, regular physical exercise is a must for every student. It keeps the body fit and the mind fresh.
A student also has duties to his parents and superiors. He should respect them and try to fulfill their hopes and expectations. He can learn many life lessons from the experiences of his parents, teachers, and elders.
Moreover, a student should develop the habit of helping others. He must cultivate good habits such as honesty, discipline, punctuality, and kindness. At the same time, he should stay away from bad habits like laziness, dishonesty, and bad company. Good habits formed in student life shape one’s entire future.
The influence of companionship is especially important in student life. A student should always choose good companions and avoid bad ones, as character is easily affected by those around us.
Lastly, a student has duties to the nation. He is the future of the country. A nation’s progress depends on how its students are being trained today. So, at times of national need, a student should be ready to serve the country and help set things right with courage and patriotism.
In short, student life is a time of discipline, learning, and character-building. If a student performs his duties properly, he can become a great asset to his family, society, and country.
