My unforgettable journey<br />
through Anweshana<br />
First of all I would like to thank<br />
God for giving me this golden<br />
opportunity to be a part of<br />
Anweshana and thank my parents<br />
for choosing the best one among<br />
all schools for me and an<br />
inestimable thanks to our most<br />
beloved Bharathi aunty for creating<br />
such a beautiful environment<br />
where Montessori reveals its true<br />
identity.<br />
My journey through Anweshana<br />
was wonderful, where I felt<br />
Anweshana more like my abode<br />
rather than a school, since the<br />
atmosphere and environment of<br />
Anweshana was more liberating<br />
and empowering. Our teachers at<br />
Anweshana, I felt were the most<br />
loving, most friendly and<br />
motivating and always supporting<br />
The teaching techniques at<br />
Anweshana are always with the<br />
agenda of learning with freedom,<br />
where in the concepts were<br />
Explained from basics to the most<br />
intense and complicated concepts,<br />
in the most fascinating &<br />
uncomplicated techniques using<br />
various materials which helped in<br />
easy gripping of the concepts &<br />
made them very interesting and<br />
unforgettable.<br />
We basically learnt everything<br />
without any/much difficulty in<br />
understanding at Anweshana, since<br />
every concept was thought through<br />
materials where we can feel<br />
everything and understand the<br />
concepts easily. We understood all<br />
concepts without the need to mug<br />
up or rote at Anweshana unlike<br />
most of the other schools. We had<br />
a lot of practical exposure as we<br />
grew up, which made things even<br />
easier. The methodology was very<br />
different comparatively since<br />
individual attention was given to<br />
each and every student so there<br />
was minimal or no chance of any<br />
student to lag behind. Teachers<br />
made sure that every student has<br />
perceived whatever was thought<br />
and then progress further once<br />
everybody was clear with it.<br />
From the basics such as rolling<br />
chapathis, extracting sandalwood<br />
paste, how to use scissors,<br />
cutting patterns from paper,<br />
learning to colour, sandpaper<br />
tracing to reading, writing on air to<br />
writing on paper, learning long<br />
division, square roots, fractions,<br />
chemistry physics and other<br />
subjects, everything was easily<br />
learnt by us because of the use of<br />
materials and different ways of<br />
teaching. Learning like this was the<br />
main reason for our improved<br />
concentration and lack of<br />
distraction<br />
We all just knew we were learning<br />
and having fun, but didn't realize<br />
we were making memories. If I<br />
were given a chance to choose the<br />
most everlasting bits of memories,<br />
they would be<br />
Dancing, balancing a row of pots<br />
of my tiny heart at the age of<br />
five<br />
Playing with fishes and turtles of<br />
our favorite pond<br />
Trip to Mysore at the age of six<br />
Plucking gooseberries and<br />
cherries everyday<br />
Playing holi with 100%natural<br />
colours<br />
Playing hide and seek with my<br />
huge bunch of friends<br />
throughout the school campus<br />
Celebrating almost all the<br />
festivals following its own<br />
particular customs and rituals<br />
Singing and learning to dance<br />
with Uma aunty and vidya aunty<br />
I can never forget being bharti<br />
aunty's secret Santa and<br />
receiving such a beautiful<br />
handmade gift from her<br />
Adventurous trips to chitradurga<br />
and avalanche<br />
Making mini chocolate houses<br />
@ bharti aunty's kitchen<br />
My presentation on<br />
homoeopathy in the Melanie<br />
And lot more.<br />
Anweshana was basically the best<br />
ever foundation possibly built in<br />
our lives. From our basics to the<br />
most detailed concepts whatever<br />
taught at Anweshana always<br />
unforgettable because of the way it<br />
was taught, which formed the<br />
strongest roots in our lives which<br />
are the main cause of growth of<br />
this huge luscious green tree and<br />
the tree to remain fruitful and<br />
serving, and be helpful by<br />
providing shade and other<br />
possibilities to others<br />
I thought getting admitted in other<br />
traditional schools after Anweshana<br />
would be very difficult, but<br />
fortunately it wasn't exactly as<br />
what I thought. All of a sudden<br />
wishing Namaste changed into<br />
good morning maaaaaaaaaam<br />
songs, staying confined to our<br />
particular desks the entire day,<br />
wearing uniforms was all like a new<br />
experience. And I did definitely<br />
take a few days to get<br />
accommodated to the new set up<br />
and was later almost completely<br />
adapted and to new environment<br />
also. I never felt much difficulty<br />
with academics in fact most of the<br />
things were easier now. I was<br />
happy to top in my exams for all 3<br />
years of high school.<br />
I never even had a single thought<br />
feeling discharged studying at<br />
Anweshana.<br />
Anweshana was the best thing that<br />
ever happened to me.<br />
