I reached college by 9.00 am. Today our seniors had their commission. Due to Covid 19 seniors are not able to have their commission in the schools so we juniors should listen to them as their students. Seniors are allotted to take classes for 10 minutes, some of the students from our class selected as time keepers need to ring the bell after this every ten minutes to end the class. The commission started at 10.00 am. I felt that all of my seniors were so dedicated and had a great passion for teaching. How brilliantly they took the class. The charts, models, explanation skills, interaction with the students, the reinforcement they give everything was outstanding.
After the lunch break Maya ma’am took the class. once ma’am asked us to write down our strength and weakness and hand it over to her. Maam said that the common problem mentioned in those letters was lack of self confidence and poor self esteem so today we will discuss this too and present a slide with the caption “Self confidence and Self esteem”.
While she was explaining she asked us how many of you are sure that at least 5 people around you will support you when you are in a condition where you are in abad state of life or mentally or emotionally completely weak. I put up my hand because I live in a joint family consisting of 8 members and am sure that they will support me in every critical situation. Teacher moved to Fathima and asked the same question. She burst out of tears, I was sitting beside her, I turned with a shock. I didn’t expect that she would cry. But the reason she said also made me cry. She had to face severe emotional and mental torture from the the part of her PG project co-guide. He treated her so badly, he behaved so nice with others and totally opposite to her. She needed to suffer for 2 years, no one believed her as he was a wolf in a lambs coat. She put her maximum effort to successfully do all the experiments but he never appreciated her and he only focused on the minor mistakes she was making. He made her completely hopeless and no one trusted her when she shared her experience with him. She lost her confidence and she started to think that she can’t do anything. but after getting admission in theophilus college she started to recognize that the power and strong faith in her is increasing day by day and she started to regain self confidence and cultivate self esteem. I think she is now totally relaxed and happy, because she threw out all the burden within her. Maya mam put confidence in her and she said that no one can handle this situation like Fathima done, and she is very bold and courageous. So always develop an attitude of gratitude.
Last hour was taken by Gibi ma’am and we had a fun activity. Teacher asked us to take 2 small pieces of paper and asked half of the students in the class to write a pair. For example Dosa in one paper and Chatni in the next paper , then fold it and mix it and ask each of us to take one folded paper. Then we have to find out our pair from the 90 plus students. We ran calling our name. I got “Putt” I am not able to find any pazham, payar, kadala or pappadam. I found Varsha Chechi with the slip ”beef” in her hand as a revolutionary combo we joined together to make a new history. Those who are bored out of eating conventional currys with putt can try putt with beef and we will be an outstanding tasty pair. True love story of puttu and beef will never end, the sacrifice of beef and putt expectation to reunite…….
