Compassion - Savyata Rijal

Compassion-the nature of humanity, it's the essence. It is to feel someone else's pain as one's own and act in a way to reduce that pain.

There is nobility in compassion, a beauty in empathy, a grace in forgiveness-

John Connolly.

Compassion and tolerance are not a sign of weakness, but a sign of strength -

Dalai Lama

Now that we think about the word 'compassion', it probably makes us feel like we can do something like that. It makes us feel like we should stand up for the people and portray our compassion in our own small way.

I would share this example- how the founder of early 'Big Hit Entertainment' or today's 'Hybe Entertainment' stepped in and helped a now 'BTS' member 'Suga' debut during his training period! You probably wouldn't imagine, but even Min yoongi was not born into a wealthy family, he had difficulty; he struggled during that time because he had to decide between saving money for food or to use for the bus, he thought about losing his dream of debuting because of it. But then Mr Band Si Hyuk stepped in and gave him time to let up and pay for his tuition. He helped him debut and let us know the rapper 'suga'.

Not just Mr Bang Si Hyuk but also inspiring people like Mother Teresa have also been very compassionate. They inspire us and help us become a better person. Our parents also help us become better people, and they should never stop us from helping the ones in need. Parental support and guidance will help us become more sensitive and compassionate beings.

Joy Of Learning - Rishona Chopra

 

The Joy of Learning Diaries is a website where students can post their reflections on My Good School’s reading program every Sunday. They can literally post anything they want. We publish the Joy Of Learning Diaries, and our blogs go in an extensive diary where many students can post.

We connect the Joy Of Reading with the joy of writing by -

• What we read in the reading session we reflect upon by writing.
• What we have written can be converted into a podcast (audio file) - Joy of Speaking.

That is how My Good School connects the three joys.

In school, we learn academics, but at My Good School, we help improve and enhance the primary interests. We experience the joy of writing, reading and speaking. Apart from that, we have a few partner programs too. Like, Slooh  (Space Program) and Sportify (Sports Program).

Most important of all, students can become interns! 

While being an intern sounds like a lot of hard work, it is straightforward as long as you like doing it. I am an intern, and I simply love it! I get blogs from other students and post them. I also make a few designs for My Good School, which is marvellous. Interns help grow the school too. 

We learn with joy!!

Compassion - Anoushka Vinod

Is Your Child Ready to Face the World? by Doctor Anupam Sibal, my reflection on compassion.

No act of compassion is ever small. By being compassionate, you show the love and care in your heart. In our session, we learnt the true meaning of compassion. It is astounding how just a few small acts give you great rewards.

To be compassionate means understanding those who are in misfortunate or in need. We learnt about two remarkable ladies. They were Mother Teresa and Princess Diana. Even though they were well known, they didn't let pride overcome their humbleness.

Individuals believe that people with a higher post should be respected and be perfect in every way, but Princess Diana broke this belief and proved to everyone that no one is supreme. We all have our faults, and we can only fix them by being compassionate and humble. That is how she met Mother Teresa. Together, they both made a change in the world. I have learnt that small acts, like helping someone in need, show compassion. To finish off, I would like to say that everyone is equal. The only way to get appreciated and loved is by showing compassion.
