Be The Change - Arav Agarwal

Reflection on the chapter Be the Change from the book Is Your Child Ready to Face the World? by Dr Anupam Sibal.

"We must remind ourselves that one child, teacher, text, and pen can change the world when in doubt. By being the change, we can make this world a better place". - Arav Agarwal, Grade: 5C, Billabong High International School, Thane

A day at school - Shlok Rastogi

 

It was my first day at formal school; I was nervous because I didn’t have any old friends. As I entered my school, it was quite nice. After that, I sat at my desk. When I opened my bag, I noticed that I had left my pencil box at home. I felt like crying. Suddenly I heard a whispering sound from somewhere. I looked back and saw a boy who smiled and offered me a pencil. I was thrilled and thankful.

The next day in the dance class I learnt that he didn’t know the dance, so I explained to him some dance steps. That smiling and caring boy, Vihaan, gradually became my best friend. It has been three years now, and we are still perfect friends; we support and encourage each other. I love to be with him. It is rightly said that a friend is one with whom “We laugh a little harder, cry a little less, and smile a lot more”.

Friendship - Vinki Srivastava

Vinki Shrivastava, VI,

Friendship is a ship that helps us cover long distances through the turbulence of our life. Friends don't judge each other; they always stay together. Happiness is having friends with the same mental disorders as yours. A true friend is one soul in two bodies. Tag your real friends, make friends who force you to level up. Friendship is not a big thing, but a million tiny items become a friendship. Friendship is the best thing because every relationship starts after being friends only. You love your mother, father, and teachers because they are your best friends before being a parent or a teacher.

I like to read quotes of great leaders as they shape my thoughts. I have fun playing games from Skating and Swimming to Hopscotch and Ludo as they are full of fun. I think little things in life give us the most joy. I also love learning about computer languages. Acting is my goal.
