All you have to do is just flow with the character and imagine that there is no one around. If you can do that, the rest will come out beautifully, whether it was perfect or not.
I think I had stage fright before the performance, but I felt I was confident after it. I think I would not do good at all, but in the end, I do. Only your effort should be noticed.
If you tried your best, then everything is perfect.

Please read The Little Book of Values:
Educating Children to become Thinking, Responsible and Caring Citizens.
But what is hope? Sometimes this question clicks my mind. It is a step that motivates you to reach your destination or aim to be achieved.
Recently, I travelled to 'Char Dham Yatra'. Which is enjoyable. When I saw the track, I felt disappointed. It was a tiring journey, but something inside kept my excitement alive.
I think that's hope!
Hope never lets your aspirations or dreams die. It keeps it alive in your heart. Some examples of maintaining hope in my daily life:
• Hope of mummy making something good in Lunch.
• Hope that my family to bring surprises on my birthday
• Hope of going to park and cycle 3 rounds without stopping.

My Good School is our school,
Where passion meets education
And we reach our destination.
We can read or write,
Speak or create,

Or write a blog.

My Good School where,
Learning is Fun, and Fun is learning,
Where we are not mere students,
But all of us are lifelong learners at this school of life.
After all those months of fun and learning, the report card shows what you dill all year round and a reward that showcases your effort. Often we say that if we did well, we get a bar of chocolate and other gifts, but we don't realize the report card is the most significant gift!

As the head chair of my table, I must make my juniors eat the food properly, ensuring discipline and no wastage of food. When I became the head chair for the first time, it was a tough job to make my juniors eat properly, Sometimes, they did not like the dish, or the taste was too bad.
Once I broke down, I was tired of the tantrums, but a senior made me realize that I was like them; when I was a junior. Today, I share and tell them that they eat little but everything! This lesson would be remembered all the time.

Empathy is when you connect with someone. When you understand someone's feelings and know what to tell them. When you observe someone suffering, you may be able to imagine yourself in their shoes and sympathise with them.
Have you ever heard of the term "sympathy"? Sympathy and Empathy may sound like synonyms, but actually, they aren't! Sympathy is when you feel sorry for someone from your own perspective. Empathy is when you put yourself in someone else's shoes and understand why they feel that way. This is a significant difference to understand. Let's take an example. Your friend's sibling died, and they are feeling super sad. What would you do? If you were to sympathise, you would say things like 'I'm sorry you're feeling that way or 'It's okay. Don't worry about something like that. But if you were to empathise, you would say things like, 'I have been there and be sad too.
Empathy is essential as it helps build connections with people and bond with them. Social relationships are necessary for your body and your mental state. Empathising with people makes them empathise with you and spreads it.
To practice Empathy and influence it, you can do a ton of stuff, such as: i. Work on listening to people without interrupting
ii. Pay attention to body language and other types of nonverbal communication
iii. Try to understand people, even when you disagree with them iv. Ask people questions to learn more about them and their lives
To conclude, Empathy is when you understand that person and know what they are feeling, which can prepare you for telling them about it. It helps in socialising and creating bonds. Sympathy and Empathy are very different; sympathy is when you feel sorry for them passively, and Empathy Is when you are sorry for them in a more active way and feel what they are feeling.

My name is Aanya Kumar, and I study at Podar International School. Just likeTotto-chan’s old school, our school also has a school song. As requested by Sunita Ma’am in today’s session, I would like to post my school song here-:
We are the kings and queens,
We are the shining dreams,
We nurture sunshine, embrace the winds,
We have the scientific zeal and power to enthral,
We want the whole horizon,
YES, we are Podar, yes, we are Podar.
Hai sanskriti hamari,
Har mushkil hamse hari,
Hum aasman ko chune ki rakhte hai
taiyari.
YES, we are Podar, yes, we are Podar.
Baapu ne dekha tha sapna,
Hamne usko saakara.
Vishvas, sathya, nishta se,
Chamke banke Dhruvtara.
YES, we are Podar……
Excellence is the key; we make our own destiny.
Smiling faces, passionate souls, that’s what we are.
YES, we are PODAR, YES, we are PODAR.
Even if we have a school song, we should sing it with pride because going to a good school is a blessing as it is a haven of knowledge. At Gyanshree, we have a school song, and it goes like this:
We, the Shreeyans, are virtuous and strong
To this heavenly place, we belong
We see our future gleaming in the light
We vow to be prudent and upright
Seeking knowledge, resolute to attain
At Gyanshree, excellence and acclaim
We, the Shreeyans, we are proud to be
Radiant and blissful, wise and worthy
All the Shreeyans, sing out loud
With such a lovely school, we are endowed.
Isn't that a wonderful school song? Although I don't really know the tune, I love to sing it!

Each of them gives us so much knowledge.
Lots of different cultures,
Each one of them is precious!
This rich diversity,
Gives me a new identity.
Everyone is so unique,
Together when we come, no one is weak!
Even though our differences create problems,
We should understand our differences are our customs!
We are all united as a team,
We can together make a dream.
After all, it’s unity in diversity,
We are just so extraordinary!
That is why we say east or west,
India is the best!
I think of something; but not the right way,
Oh, Lord! Tell me what to say,
Not to hurt anyone but to brighten their day!
Saying something terrible when you are not in your senses
Is the worst when seen through life’s feeling lenses
Just like cursing someone seems not to be the worst,
But, from the other perspective, it can make the victim’s feelings burst!
That is why, before saying anything-
I ask my Lord about what to say,
Not to hurt anyone,
But to brighten their day!

Then ma'am asked us which period we liked and why science was the most favoured period. So she started discussing the life cycle of a silk worm and how wearing silk kills silkworms. She shared how we should raise awareness about this. This also tells us about one of Dr Sibal's values - be the change you want to see in the world. So first, we should stop wearing silk and then tell others to do the same.
Today was my first time having a class with the Headmistress in the school, and it was also the best class ever.

This is for you,
When anything happened, you knew.
You taught me to be true,
And that’s how I grew
You cared for me,
You are the one that makes me feel free!
The kindest one ever,
When I needed you, you were always there whatsoever.
I love you more than anyone,
Yes, you are the very one!
A school on a train does sound weird. But, according to Totto-chan, it could be real fun. Tomoe Gakuen was full of fun-filled surprises for all its students.
I would like to present this poem on Tomoe Gakuen:
Tomoe Gakuen, an unusal school,
With train boogies as its classrooms.
With no rules for studying or going in the pool,
To the students, it seemed relatively cool.
Totto-chan was expelled,
Mother was worried.
She had to find a new school,
An unusual one indeed!
Tomoe Gakuen, was fit for Totto-chan,
As her day at the new school quickly began.
Totto-Chan was happy and had hights to seek
And I’d say the school was pretty unique.
