A story people will often tell you

This is a story people will often tell you:
You come to this world. You toil hard and get educated. You get a good job. You get married. You get settled. Then you have kids. You become a machine to handle stress and responsibilities. By the time your kids become self sufficient, you start getting old. Your kids leave you for higher studies, work, leaving you two alone. You leave this world.
The end? What's the meaning of life, you may ask if every single of us has to follow this pattern of slipping into oblivion?
But there is another story no one's going to tell you, but you will experience for sure:

Life is the excitement of carrying the school bag for the first time.
