The Life of 10 Rupees - Rishona Chopra
Good Afternoon! I am...well, I don't reveal my name so just call me 10 Rupees. I am unique because I am hated and loved at the same time. But how, you ask?
10 Rupees. What all could you buy with it - Just 2-3 toffees, right? What is the value, and that's what some think? They do not respect me and therefore hate me. But for some, those 2-3 toffees are worth having, seem a box of gold! That is their meal for the day, which brings a smile to their faces!
I am not just telling you about myself but telling you to respect things and what you get. Items might have more value than they seem they have.

Happiness - Unnati Jamdar
When I was a young kid, I always wanted a pet. I wanted a cat or a dog, but sadly my parents won't allow me. One fine day a cat suddenly appeared and started meowing. I was in shock; the poor cat was sitting alone and was searching for food. I couldn't resist, so my friends and I decided to comfort her. From that day onwards, she was our best friend, and within a couple of days, my family was ready to adopt the cat. This was where my happiness increased, and now she is a part of our family.

Fun - Aria Gupta
I think everybody likes to have fun more than work. But why are some things fun while others are not? Work may be stressful and create anxiety, while fun is full of joy. One way to make work fun is to forget all that stress and anxiety; instead, think about the joy you feel when you're having fun. Another way to make work fun is to gamify it. For example, if you have to finish tons of homework, I make a fairy list for all the assignments. After doing one, you may ask an imaginary fairy to grant a wish, a small one like watching TV for 30 minutes or playing with your friends for an hour. Fun is compelling in motivation, so you should add some fun to work.

Friendship - Vihaan Bisht
Friendship is one of the most incredible bonds anyone can ever wish for. Friends have immense care and support for
each other. My best friend is Shlok. We both have lots of fun together. We
invite each other to our birthdays, but that’s not the only reason why I
consider him as my best friend. He is my best friend because he is very kind and
he never talks rudely to me. He helps me when I am in a problem. He shares his
things with me. What I like most about him because he never thinks that
if he helps me, I will also do something in return for him. So a best friend isn’t
someone who looks good, but who is at heart. A true friend helps his friend
when he is in trouble. I also admire him for his politeness and calmness.
During Corona, we weren’t able to see
each other. Lockdown was there, and our school got shut, but now the school is
reopening, so I hope to see my best friend again from April.

Happiness is everything
Once there lived a young boy named Jack. People said that his luck was never on his side, and he was also known as the unlucky boy.Once in his exam, he broke his pencil, and it took him 10 minutes to sharpen it! The other day in the park, he fell several times and from that day till the next few weeks, he was not able to play. Such minor unlucky instances made Jack very sad. It was like his happiness was lost.
That night Jack wanted to cry all his pain out, and he called out to his mother and said, "Mum, everyone calls me the unlucky boy, and it really isn't my fault, and what did I do wrong that my luck never supports me?" His mother, surprised, told him, "My dear, your luck was forever on your side; you just had to take a look from another angle. When your pencil broke, didn't your teacher give you extra time to sharpen it?" Jack said, "She did". His mother said, "Well, then you could have used that time to calculate a few questions too, right? Jack, realizing what his mother said was true, happily cried out, "Yes, and when I got hurt?" "When we get hurt, it helps our body grow stronger!" said his mother. "Oh yes, mum, yes.
Thank you for making me realize that," said Jack, smiling.
From that day, Jack was never unhappy and found little joy in everything!
So even if a thing doesn't have a positive side, don't be sad; you can be happy by thinking about the solution to that problem!

Where Passion Meets Education - Rishona Chopra
Ever wondered about a place where passion meets education. A place where learning is fun and fun is learning? Well, you might have found that special place! That special place is a school - My Good School.
Here you can exercise and work on your abilities independently! You learn what you need to master your goal! No, not history, physics and math but values. You learn values!
Not only that, but every Sunday at 11 am, we meet up and read one unique book with a meaning that could change our lives and way of thinking! You can write blogs podcasts and post them like I am. You could be an intern, be a designer, make designs and be in our marketing team too!
It’s not just for children but for teachers too! We have a few partner programs too, like - Slooh (space program), Sportify (sports program), Well-Being Program and several others!
It is, of course, not necessary to do it all! Just do what you like, when you want!
It is indeed a place where passion meets education.
