The new year started with our first engagement this year at Mushtifund Aryaan Higher Secondary School at The Cujira complex in Goa. On the morning of 2nd January, we had the pleasure of interacting with the higher secondary students of the school.
Ever since it first began with a focus on providing the best launching pad for competitive exams in Goa, Aryan has been beating its own performance year after year. Mr Vyankatesh Prabhudesai, an IIT graduate himself has been very keen in having Sanjay address the students on his experiences in and outside academics.
We had two sessions focusing on two different aspects of student’s lives – academics and safety. The academics session was to motivate the students, to share our experience in making learning meaningful, and keeping the fun in learning. While the session on road safety was marred a bit by the lack of video, we were able to share the main points quite effectively. Both the sessions were well received and there were questions asked by curious young learners.
Our talk must have been effective, because later in the day, we received feedback from some parents about both the sessions. With respect to the session on Road Safety, we had a parent writing in to Shubhangi “Thank you very much for your inspiring talk at Aryaans, which deeply touched my son’s heart, and in turn our hearts at home…I would like you to do a similar session at my younger son’s school … Vanessa”.
