TRUE HEROES AND HEROINES teachers “ He's my hero”. By a hero, I am not referring to a superhero or animated cartoon who fascinates the tiny tots by performing various stunts. Let me give you an instance. Think about a man who is travelling alone in a boat trying to fight against the high waves and tides with no one out there to support him, struggling for survival. But with the coming of a strong person behind him, he is able to balance the turbulent situation. Similarly in life’s boat also one needs a true hero to guide him/her and take him out from all odds and hindrances in the path of life. Our perceptions of choosing a true hero may be different but the qualities of any hero are always the same. We don’t need a true hero to stand behind us at every stepping stone. He/she is just an inspiration for us who we are impressed by and we believe that his/her ideals will make us emerge victorious. Well! That is about our personal hero. Now, let’s talk about a true hero. According to me, a true hero is a person who dedicates his life for the benefit of others. So, according to you all, who is a true hero? Probably Mother Teresa? – Ishan Arora An illiterate or a man without education is no more than an animal. Education emancipates the human beings and leads them to the path of knowledge and gets them liberated from ignorance. A teacher is a person who guides us , motivates us and show us the right path. A teacher can be anyone –our mother, father, an elder brother or sister or our school teacher of course. Teacher plays the very important role of shaping the unriped earthen bowls to make them a better human being, a better citizen and lead a better life. – Malika Saini SUMMER VACATIONS: LEARN WHILE YOU ENJOY! What is the first thing that we all check as soon as we receive our new school diaries? Most of us, with a big grin, will say the commencement of the Summer Vacations! And when they finally arrive, we start off with great enthusiasm- we organise our work, make proper study-time-tables and study for long hours. However, with the passage of time, things get monotonous. This is because students like us need to 'learn' to learn. We know what to learn, but not how to. When one follows this DIY Approach, studies get exciting and fun. I personally believe that students should engage themselves in special kinds of hobby clubs or intensive workshops, that rather than teaching school curriculum, teach children the curriculum of the world. And when one pursues his/her passions, there's nothing in this world that seems dull and boring. Lastly, students should make it a point to organise trips with their families. We all visit our grandmom's place every yearwhy not go to some historical place this year? Or a place having some scientific significance? Won't life be fun then?? Ofcourse, it would be. And that would prove that a balanced dose of enjoyment & studies is actually what every student requires. – Mayank Sharma PAGE 11
