Reflection on the forth newsletter (August issue)

“He who fails to plan, plans to fail”

Planning is very important for everyone in everything. I also believe that it’s very important to have a plan in hand before going for task. Sometimes it’s ok; when we get second chance but few times life doesn’t give you second chance. We were 9 people, and working on same newsletter was not a good idea because in that case all can’t show their real capability. So, we decided to divide ourselves into two groups.

1^st group was consist of me (Chinmay Toriya), Mukul Vaswani, Agam Bhatia, Hyunju Baek and Trisha Gupta.

And 2^nd group was Nishad Potdar, Kaustubh Chahhande, Dasom Chun, and Aalya Bhatt.

Using luck of chance we went for chit draw for the selection of months to publish news letter. We got first and started discussing and distributing jobs among ourselves. We decided that:

Mukul Vaswani (Editor and Designer)

Hyunju Baek (Writer)

Trisha Gupta (Writer)

Agam Bhatia (Fun corner and photographer)

Chinmay Toriya (Photographer and reporter)

This month we were having our Independence Day, Talent show and some minor activities of school. My job was to collect information from different teachers about minor activities and taking photographs. On 15^th august I was photographer because I knew it will not be possible on 27^th because I will be the MC (master of ceremony). I tried to take maximum possible photographs. I faced many problems because many a time’s people were coming in between. Many a time’s photograph was coming a bit shaky. Now, I can say “I did my job pretty well because the pictures are good and many people appreciated it. I learnt new techniques of taking pictures. I also got a practical experience of it on one of the big celebration of our school.

I collected the information written over it and passed it to editor. Actually, it was fun but at the same time full of difficulties because collecting minor thing takes a lot of time. This time I enjoyed a lot while making the news letter, let’s hope for the best for the next time.

Teaching in Ashram 10

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.
