Reflection on what I fear the most... - Shristi Khulal

Someone has rightly said that when fear strikes, there are only two ways to face it or run away from it. The best way is to face it and overcome it.

I fear being in the spotlight or the centre of attraction and public speaking the most. I get very nervous, and I overthink others' opinions about me. My body starts shaking, and my heart starts pounding.

I would like to overcome this fear and speak confidently, as it is essential in our lives. For this, I should be more confident about myself and interact with many people.

Pestalozzi is also helping us to become more optimistic by organising workshops, for which I am very thankful. I should also stop being an overthinker.

Subject: Reflection on; What I fear the most and how I can overcome that fear...

I hope this email finds you well.

What I fear the most is generally what many people have been through, which is the fear of getting a scolding by their parents, especially my father; even though he is the most friendly person in the family, his anger is the most dangerous from our family.

I still remember the day when he scolded my brother for not picking me up from school and leaving me there till 6 or 7pm, which was very scary since I couldn't walk properly due to the injury on my foot. I can never forget that anger and the fight they both had because of me.
For me, that's my biggest fear and how to overcome that fear is still in process because I try my best not to make him angry and to always listen to his guidance.

Thank you for reading.

Yours faithfully,
Tenzin Nyingsel,

How do I overcome the fear within? - Nishan Karki

Reflecting on my fears post the reading session at The Sunday School.

I fear many different things, but I fear the most is failing to do several things or failure. I get this fear when I do not feel like I am not doing well in exams or in several things.

To overcome the fear of failure, I try to be calm and do my work with dedication, focus and carefulness. I have good time management that can help me to overcome this fear.

What I fear the most... Tenzing Dhekyong N

Reading Chapter 32 - Human Quality: Preparedness

"What I fear the most is the scare of the darkness. So generally, many people are scared of the dark. I have been wondering about those creepy things repeatedly during my childhood, so that's why I had a fear inside me of ghosts. I still am scared of a ghost, but I try to overcome them by thinking of funny movements which have happened today".

Goodbye 2022! - Rishona Chopra

 
2022 was a year full of joy, 
 Some were days to enjoy.
The year when we started offline school,
The year of playing in the pool!
The year of friendships,
It was better since,
We had new experiences!
Some days were sad for all,
We felt small.
Broken friendships,
Drowned ships.
Endless fights,
Sleepless Nights.
Some trouble all of us faced,
But they can be replaced,
 I believe that the next year could be better,
If we don't become forgetters.
Improve our mistakes from the past year,
And make our minds clear.
Some mistakes we made,
Some difficulties we faced!
But let's learn from the last year,
And improve this year!!

2022 in My Good School - Rishona Chopra

 
My Good School taught me many things,
 It opened up new swings.
From Totto-Chan
To Swami and Friends
From Art Of Focus
To Wise and otherwise
This journey has been one of a kind.

Reading, Writing,
Speaking and Creating.
Sometimes I just look at the paper,
Not knowing what to write.
I feel my mind has gone blank,
Nothing more left to write.
Should I search for a topic?
Should I ask someone?

I finally started to notice that all writings,
Come from something I have learnt.
It is in my heart and in my mind.
The answer is in my heart.
That tells me what to write.
My Writing, in the end,
Comes from A unique book.
That perhaps why I read,
At My Good  School.
