जब मैं कक्षा में प्रवेश करता हूं तो सभी छात्र कुर्सी पर खड़े होकर एसी बंद कर देते हैं या कभी-कभी एसी भी काम नहीं करता है! इसके बाद, मैं कुर्सी पर खड़ा होता हूं और खिड़कियां खोलता हूं और पूरी कक्षा हवा और बारिश का आनंद लेती है। इस तरह हम स्कूल में बारिश और प्रकृति का आनंद लेते हैं।रिशोना चोपड़ा कक्षा VIज्ञानश्री स्कूल
Childhood has been miserable,
Because you have to learn something basic,
When we grow up as a teen
I got pressured to top the boards
I got pressured to become a doctor
Will the world still accept if I am something else?
I feel like running away from home,
I think I am not safe in my home sweet home,
I want to speak to this world,
I have my aspirations,
To change the mindset of the people
Who judges me based on occupation,
Who are you to control me?
I am a phoenix who takes the rebirth from its ashes
Which is from its failures.
If you control me,
I will control you every time,
As you made my life miserable
I will make yours,
At the end of the story
I have my aspirations!

She wanted to be a spy,
Then a ticket seller,
After that a street musician
And finally a ballerina.
Her vision might wander,
But her values never dander,
Her life is simply yet happy,
Then why don’t we be a little
more like her ?
She treats others with love,
She learns all with joy,
She yearns to find more
And ask why.
The Farming teacher likes her,
For she does everything with care,
Her passion is appreciated and
Her energy is contagious.
She might be naughty,
But her character is good,
She helps everyone
And asks for nothing in return.
So, Totto-chan,
You are a really good girl,
You know.
Anvesha Rana,
Grade 10-B,
Gyanshree School.
With a happy heart.
A few brakes and bumps,
But over those thorns we have to jump,
That’s the start when I am not perfect,
But giving up is not correct.
We are all beginners,
And that’s how we become winners,
Winners and beginners of life,
Now as sharp as a knife.
Mistakes keep happening,
But we should understand their meaning.
Never giving up hope,
And striving for more!
I was never good at writing, reading and this technology, but soon I learned. I was too a beginner, and I am learning and growing!
Thank you to all my teachers and my extraordinary mother and father for helping me strive for more and encouraging me every fall.

When one teaches, two learn."
Robert Heinlein
It is what is called the "joy of learning". We learn by our flaws, mistakes, experiences, and sometimes by our wrong decisions.
We learn through interacting with our friends, listening to others, by seeing some skills and also very much from books. These all act as raw material, food for thought and, at times, gives fuel to our ideas and unleash our imagination. But, as said, it's a symbiotic relationship between the two…the learner and the mentor as both take lessons and upgrade their understanding.
It also gives a platform for both to enlarge their perspective and sometimes changes their perspective.
It would be correct to say, "What we learn becomes a part of who we are".

We all must have heard the old saying, “Books are our best friends”. That is true; I also have a small and compact home library. I’ve always been interested in reading since I was a child, and books have taught me many life lessons; now, I am trying to work towards making them my personality traits. Books give us food for thought, just like a true friend.
Happy reading.

Spirituality is also about connecting to God, not through prayers but through our minds, talking to them as if they were our parents, our closest friends who wouldn't reveal our secrets to anyone. Whenever I am worried about a test or upset or angry, I try to talk to God by just speaking out all my feelings in my mind. You don't need to go to a temple or even pray.
This is a poem by Rabindranath Tagore which tells us how to connect with God and the meaning of spirituality.
