Reflections on Dreams, Learning, and Meaningful Teaching- Sunbeam School Ballia

This write-up thoughtfully presents the narrator's inner feelings and struggles in a simple yet meaningful way. It shows how he feels stressed while dealing with people at his office job, even though he was lucky to get his first-choice posting. His true dream is to open his own antique shop, where he can live peacefully and do what he loves. However, due to financial problems and lack of time, he feels stuck in his present situation. This part beautifully reflects the reality of many people who have dreams but feel trapped by responsibilities.

The second part introduces Hina, his girlfriend, and shows a warm family interaction. When he visits her house, her mother welcomes him kindly and invites him for dinner. This shows respect, hospitality, and family values. It also contrasts his stressful office life with a more caring and homely environment.

Overall, this write-up teaches us about ambition, responsibility, and the importance of human relationships. It reminds us that while life may feel difficult at times, kindness and support from loved ones give comfort and hope.

Today I attended a session at my school where Sir read the story "What You Are Searching For Is in the Library." We had a thoughtful discussion inspired by the story, touching on ideas from Japanese culture and the concept of minimalism. It wasn’t only about lifestyles, but about reflecting on choices, perspectives, and the meaning behind everyday actions.

The session was engaging and enjoyable, and listening to different viewpoints made it even more interesting. Overall, it was a meaningful experience that gave me something new to think about.

In today’s session, Mr Jugiv Singh Sir first introduced a very famous personality, Mr Kartik Sir. He told us about communication. Some of the important points about communication are:

1. Balance

2. Honesty

He wants to teach us the format of writing. He always shares information in a fun way, which helps both students and teachers.

This session with Mr Kartik Sir was very interactive and interesting, and I enjoyed it a lot.

The next session with Mr Jugiv Singh Sir was also interactive and enjoyable, as he read the story "What You Are Searching For Is in the Library." It was a very curious and suspenseful story. This session was very knowledgeable and informative.

Remember, this class is not just about reading; it is more about learning informative things in a fun and beautiful way.

Thank you

Finding Voice Through Stories: Deen Shah’s First Steps with My Good School

I applied for the Good School Alliance Internship because my school shared meeting links for the reading sessions that were held on Sundays, and I joined a few of them. I really enjoyed these sessions as they were calm and interactive, and they gave everyone a chance to read and share their thoughts openly. Being part of such discussions helped me feel more confident and interested in reading. A friend also encouraged me to apply for the internship, which motivated me to take this opportunity.

My aim is to develop a better reading habit and improve my communication skills. I also want to learn how these reading sessions are planned and conducted. Through this internship, I hope to actively participate in the sessions, share my reflections, and encourage other students from my school to join and benefit from them.

Thank you. 

Sunday School Reflection

The reading sessions were really interesting and fun for me as a student. The session on The Inner Life of Animals made me realise that animals have feelings and emotions too, which taught me to be more caring and kind towards them. The session on The Whistling Schoolboy and Other Stories was enjoyable and easy to understand, and I could relate to the simple situations and innocent thoughts in the stories. These sessions not only improved my listening skills and imagination but also made me think more deeply about life and the world around me. I really enjoyed these sessions and feel grateful to the Good School Alliance for organising such exciting and meaningful reading experiences.

The Importance of Communication Skills - Lotus Petal Foundation

Communication skills are an essential part of a student's growth and future success. To help students understand their importance and inspire them to develop strong communication skills, the school organised an interactive and enriching session led by Mr Kartik Bajoria. 

The session helped students realise that strong communication skills can transform the way they connect with people, solve problems, and achieve their goals. It was an inspiring and motivating experience for everyone, leaving students more aware and confident about improving their communication.
