Totto-chan's School Song helped me connect with my school's song, Billabong High International School, Thane. I love my school song and am happy to share it with everyone.
Billabong High is a fun place to be
To learn to have fun, there's a lot to see.
As you grow up and go to a higher class
And recap what you have done
And soon you'll pass
It's an exciting place for children
And they look forward to going there
Not only do they get an education, but,
They get individual love and care.
You will be a proud graduate
And one day, you will say
I went to Billabong High and see what I am today.
I went to Billabong High and see what I am today.
I went to Billabong High and see what I am today.

The future of education will be built on these values alone:
Appreciation, Caring, Cooperation, Courage, Freedom, Friendship, Happiness, Honesty, Hope, Humility, Love, Patience, Peace, Quality, Respect, Responsibility, Simplicity, Thoughtfulness, Tolerance, Trust, Understanding & Unity.
These values make up our life. We don't have to do anything significant to master these. Just opening a door for someone, bringing a smile to someone's face, making friends with someone, trusting someone, understanding someone, and other little acts can do it all.
Why don't we promise ourselves that we will try our best to inculcate these values?
How do we find fulfilment in a world that is constantly changing?
Nibbrati Rathore, a mathematics teacher, struggled with these questions until she came across the ancient Chinese philosophy of Tao Yep Ching. In it, she found a passage comparing the goodness of water, an idea she is now applying to her everyday life. In this podcast, she shares- “Philosophy of water” and “What water would do”?
Quality is the mother of all values, and how it is the most essential of all.
Do you have a similar story?
Do share with us and let the world learn from your experience.
All we need is hope to change humanity.
Some look at the crumpled paper like a waste, but I look at it like beauty. This means that we can change society into something beautiful with hope and positive thoughts!
Totto-chan’s mother is kind, gentle and calm. Totto Chan had been expelled from her old school, but her mother had not scolded her, and she did not even tell her about the suspension so as to not upset her daughter. Instead, she made Totto Chan go to a new school.
The teacher of Totto-chan’s old school was disappointed and annoyed by her but mother always stood by Totto-chan’s side and let Totto Chan be the cheerful and chirpy girl she was; mother kept Totto-chan’s expulsion a secret.
It was the first day of Totto-chan’s new school, Tomoe Gakuen. It was a school with railroad cars as classrooms, and it deeply excited the jovial Totto Chan. Her mother played a crucial role in all this; she encouraged Totto-chan to share what she liked at the school that day and listened to all her tales with amusement.
Even when Totto-chan ran to her mother and told her she wanted to be a ticket collector, her mother coolly reminded her that she wanted to be a spy instead. Totto-chan is very lucky to have a Mother so encouraging. Deep down, Totto-chan’s Mother knew all about her daughter’s potential even when she concealed her feelings most of the time. That’s the power of a mother.
