A Journey of Learning and Growth: MGS Retreat


The Retreat is a meaningful journey of learning and personal growth. It provides a space to explore new ideas, interact with inspiring individuals, and gain knowledge beyond textbooks. Through engaging sessions, discussions, and shared experiences, the Retreat encourages us to reflect, develop new perspectives, and grow both intellectually and personally. It is not just about learning facts, but about understanding ourselves and the world around us more deeply and thoughtfully.

A Peaceful Journey into Literature

Today’s session was calm, engaging, and full of learning. Brinda ma’am read from My Family and Other Animals, and the way she explained the story made it easy to understand and enjoyable. She helped us with difficult words and provided a clear summary, which made the chapter more interesting, especially for new students.

The discussion about mummies, animals, swallows, and birds made the session more interactive and broadened my understanding beyond just the text.

In the chapter, we also saw how Larry invited eight of his friends, which created a lively situation and even led to a short argument with his mother. This part showed the family dynamics in a realistic and slightly humorous way.

Overall, the session felt peaceful and informative, and it helped me connect better with the story and its characters.
