Blessed to be an Educator
I am an educator, presenting my
ride of 12 years through the
amazing world of Anweshana house
of Children. It was in 2006 while
undergoing my Montessori training I
had an opportunity to visit
Anweshana for my Observation and
that’s when I felt that it was my
calling. After I finished my training
successfully I had called Bharathi
Ma’am to check about an
opportunity to work, the meeting
was set for the next day and it was
very informal, then she said I can
join. Thus my journey began.
When I joined there were only 2 pre
-primary environments. Now there
are 4 pre-primary environments and
good to see the institution grow and
for being part of its 25 years
journey. It sure has given me plenty
of experiences both good and bad,
which have helped me groom
myself personally and
professionally.
Learning in School is not limited to
children, we teachers learn a lot
from the children. Children are very
spontaneous and look at everything
in a very positive way. They are
open-minded and have no
inhibitions in saying whatever is on
their mind. They analyse what ever
taught to them in their own special
way. Children find everything
around them exciting. They are so
full of energy, which surely is
contagious for us teachers and
makes us feel a lot younger too. I
can proudly say that I am lucky and
blessed to be an educator.
Apart from the children who were
with me, those who have added
lovely flowers to the bouquet of my
memories are Mrs. Bharathi, who
has been so supportive and helped
me in grooming myself. How can I
not mention Mrs. Jayashree, who
has been a pillar of immense
support through thick and thin of
various experiences at Anweshana.
What do I write about my
colleagues? They have a major
share in shaping the person I am
today. All of them have been loving
and helpful, some though not so
much.
Never the less all have taught me
that always accept the people as
they are, like the saying goes “All
fingers of a hand are not same”. To
conclude it, the management has
always been a role model. We are
constantly motivated to give our
100%, 12 years has not changed it,
I have a few more working years
ahead. I am confident I will
continue to relish the relationship
with Anweshana. I would like to end
with a cliché “Anweshana is a
second home to me”
