Change keeps us alive.  The biggest example I can narrate in this regard is the rotation of our very dear home ”Earth” around its own axis that keeps the life going on our planet. The sun is alive because of the ongoing fusion and fission reactions. The moon changes its shape starting from a crescent to a full moon. Likewise, if the change in seasons doesn't occur, it will cause a great chaos. Another very miraculous transition is of a microscopic zygote to a macroscopic human being. The metamorphosis  of a caterpillar into a colourful butterfly  is an extraordinary phenomenon. The change of a tiny seed to a gigantic tree is a marvel of nature. Flowers transforming into fruits  seems to be an amazing miracle.  Change is basically the essence of survival.  As my parents weren't the natives of the city, they first got me admitted to a nearby local school.
