Goal

A class 10 student from Corporation Higher Secondary School, Puliyur, Kodambakkam, Chennai shared her experience in the class:

‘I face lot of difficulties at our one-room small home. My parents are too attached to TV programs. I used to complain about it.

Now, I study sitting outside my home. I am clear about my goals and what I need to do - also, I have stopped making complaints about my parents watching TV and it is a hindrance to my studies etc. .’

*Overall theme of VSET topics for standard 9 is ‘Goal orientation’.

Experience - Honesty

At the first session this academic year in Standard 9, WMO school, Bathery, Wayanad the discussions were going on around incidents during school vacation.

A student shared an incident involving him - he said he was reminded of the JoyClub session on ‘honesty’, when the shop keeper returned excess change to him. He said the excess was returned back to the shop-keeper.

On returning home, he said, he narrated the incident to his mother, and felt good.

Trust

At St. Joseph school, Bathery, Wayanad the session was on ‘getting along with others’ for standard 8. During the discussion, a student mentioned that ‘Trust’ is one of the key factors in relationships and if one is trustworthy, one can get along with others.

Leadership

During the interaction at the JoyCamp at Wayanad, a 9th standard student said: “True leadership is not showing authority over others. True leadership is about encouraging others to grow, and deriving joy in it. True leader needs to function like manure to the crops”.

Being kind and helpful

While discussing on Interconnectedness and interdependence at Standard 8 in WMO school, Bathery, Wayanad, a student mentioned that, the trees and plants give us shade, fruits, flowers that are needed for our survival, without being told. Then he wondered “why don’t we, humans, also be kind and helpful to the creation and nature?”

Excellence

The discussions at standard 11, DCFL Campus, Bangalore was on ‘Competitiveness’. One student quipped: ‘Success without excellence will not remain for long’.

Value of Time

While discussing about ‘punctuality’ in 7th Standard at YASN High School, Uttarahalli, Bangalore, one student said ‘laziness prevents us from being punctual’. Another student quipped: ‘To be punctual, we have to realize the value of our time and also of others’ time’.

Fair means

The topic for discussion was ‘Goals’ at Standard 10 at YASN High School, Uttarahalli, Bangalore. One student said “setting goals is one thing, but the way we choose to reach those goals has to be fair and straight.

Owning up

The discussion was in progress on ‘Punctuality’ at Standard 7 at Father Agnels School, Vashi, Navi Mumbai, where students were sharing their (bad) experiences due to not being punctual at important situations. Then, one student said: “The suffering and pain that we undergo in such circumstances teach us a lesson and help us develop a positive attitude in life if we own up and understand our mistake”.
