Teaching in Ashram 11

As said by Mahatma Gandhi
“The future depends on what we do in the present.”

We were working hard on our students from many days and were working for not only the future of children but also for the future of planet. As if each individual get sufficient knowledge to take decisions considering all also, working as a global human resource. It was last visit for DP2 to Van Vasi Ashram. I prepared test for my student (Raja) on all the topics I thought him to see who much he learnt? I was very excited and full of enthusiasm. When I reached I was informed by the in charge of the ashram that Raja is busy studying for the exam he was having in next two days. All my work and struggle went in vain and my dreams were shattered. But as said “Never Say Never” I worked with Nishad and helped him. I learnt many new techniques of making someone understand from him. It also improved my as well as his teamwork skills. Hoping for the best and wishing all my classmates and all the students all the best for their exams.

Hard to believe but, it happened second time that my student was not with me. I have only one student and he was not well. He was unable to leave his bed and asked me for “no study” today. I really felt very bad for him asked him to take rest and to ask for any sort of help, if needed. I started feeling low because this was second time it was happening to me. With due course of time I have realized the importance of time and today I use it so that its output is positive. I started watching different videos from YouTube to improve my teaching skills. I read some articles and also made some worksheets for next time. I worked on my strategy of teaching and learning from my mistakes. I observed many things from my fellow mates who were doing their jobs very sincerely. My today’s experience was not as excited as I thought it to be but it all counts to make a being.

Life is a crazy ride and nothing is guaranteed. Raja’s exams are in next week and today he showed me a last year question paper. I asked him if he wanted to discuss it. He nodded his head for yes and asked some doubts. I cleared his doubts and asked him to solve the questions from question paper. The problem he was facing was the difficult words. He was continuously asking me different words and their meanings. I remember he asked me “limit” and I replied “I told you this last time”. He tried to remember but failed. I was facing the difficulty that I need to repeat everything again and again. Actually the main problem with his is the confusion between same type of words or difficulty in remembering.

I saw him getting confused between “woke” & “walk” or “write” & “right” etc. This time I focused on the paper and tried to give him the best ways to remember his mistakes. Each one has an interesting field and way of studying I forced his mind to find the best suitable way for himself. His confidence level is good just I need to give him boosts so that it doesn’t come down.

ALL THE BEST RAJA…..

Reflection on the second newsletter (November issue)

I am really happy because this time also I am the interviewer in news later. This time I am tried my best to overcome all my mistakes I did in last month’s issue. I prepared all my questions and also search for questions in many books, interviews of many popular people and tried to connect those questions, but I got very few. I checked all questions and also gave a copy to our editor to check it. My teammates were very helpful to each other and we worked hard to make news letter a hit. Then I thought of doing it with new tactic i.e. writing it in shorthand. But to be in safer side I also recorded it. It was a good idea as to understand I used many raw words and signs. I sent a softcopy of interviews to editor to edit it. News letter is a good ways to get updates of school and people around and their views. I strongly feel that I can do better if given a chance.
