GHSS Kanyakulangara, we are coming...

There's nothing exciting about going to the allotted school for collecting time table prior to the practice teaching session as far as a B. Ed trainee is concerned. It's a routine, after all. We usually go, meet the HM, consult the teachers concerned, collect the timetable and return home coldly (and, at times, insulted and humiliated). But today's experience was something different. We felt a sort of peace, a  sort of satisfaction. 

     We, two each from English and Physical Science optionals, reached the school (Govt. Girls HSS Kanyakulangara) at 9.30 am as planned and to our astonishment,  we were welcomed with warmth and affection. The Head master was down to earth, considerate, kind and empathetic and was willing to support us in any way possible. All other teachers treated us as we are already a part of the teaching fraternity there. It helped us feel at home and develop self esteem. Well, to be frank, we were never used to this. We were always treated with contemt and pity, as we are second rate citizens! Yes, the new atmosphere seem to offer us opportunities of growth and solace of mind. 'Best are yet to be', right?!
