The one being taught becomes the teacher
Priti started out as a much-laid back girl in AXF. The whole concept of studies was a struggle for her, as a result of which she kind of decided to give up. There were kids older than her in the class and they had been around for a lot longer than her at the centre. The medium of teaching seemed to be beyond her understanding. Not only was the medium a problem, but also the interactive way of teaching was difficult for her to grasp. But, that’s the whole beauty of a challenge. You just don’t give up! And that’s what Priti’s teachers at AXF did. They decided not to give up. They dealt with her patiently and overlooked all her yawns and bored expressions. A one-to-one interaction to understand her hurdles took them a long way. Her teachers realized that Priti would need repeated explanations of the same topics and that’s what they did.
And doesn’t hard work always pay off? Just like it did in Priti’s case. Now she presents a different picture in her class. Always cheerful and ready to step up at any given time. She understands her subjects well and doesn’t miss any chance to proactively participate in her group.
Not just that, Priti now enjoys teaching other younger kids at the centre. She recognizes the efforts put in by her teachers and wants to do the same for kids who are younger than her and might be struggling with issues similar to hers.
The dancer in Priti
Don’t we all have talents that we are unable to hone either for the lack of opportunities or time? In Priti’s case it was dancing. The daughter of a watchman and home-maker, Priti knew that AXF was the place that would give her the stage to showcase her talents and learn more. She not just loves dancing and singing, but wants to work hard on her dancing skills and earn a name for herself in this arena.
Not only does Priti accredit AXF for her renewed interest in studies, but also loves her centre for the new avenues it has created for her. She is now on to conquer her world one dance at a time.
