What is your best memory so far as a student?
My best memory so far with my teachers and friends was the best picnic of my life. It started on 19th of November, 2019 when our school was on a picnic season. At that time I was studying in Army Public School, Pune in 4th standard. The bus arrived at 8:00 a.m to Kalpataru Baug. In the bus our full class was dancing to the music. Then we reached Kalpataru Baug, where we had our breakfast and after that we went to the playground; there was a trampoline, archery kit and some swings, then we played very much and did dance also. Then at 11:00 a.m. there was a magic show at that place after which we moved forward to the Kundan Textiles which was a cloth factory. There we learned how threads are made and then converted into clothes and then how clothes are designed. Then we came back to Kalpataru Baug for lunch and for a tractor ride . Our plan was also to go to Jaggery Unit but there was construction work going on so that's why we had to cancel it . But we had a lot of fun that day.
How has Gurushala helped you in your journey as a student??
Gurushala offers one of the best online coding workshops. They give riddles, quizzes and many more activities which students can solve and get interested in. They organize competitions and coding sessions in which students get to learn new things.
My favourite section of Gurushala is the competitions section because I learn new things and how to solve complex questions in an easy manner. I have participated in a lot of activities organized by Gurushala out of which, a few have been mentioned below:
1) Gurushala Christmas Day Competition
2) Gurushala Republic Day Competition
3) Gurushala Mega Project Competition
Gurushala has taught me that everyone has different talents and powers, through which they can achieve their goals. This is how Gurushala has helped me in my journey as a student.
What is the one thing you like the most about your favorite teachers?
One thing that I like the most about my teachers is that my teachers never let down the confidence of the students. My most preferred ways of learning are listening to my teachers’ lectures and by reading textbooks.
There is a leader in every classroom. Amaan aspires to become a doctor in the Indian Army when he grows up. His actions, ideas and passion resonate with this dream of his. We will keep bringing motivational day-to-day stories of teachers and students from Indian Classrooms.
