My Voyage Through Anweshana
I had dreamt of being a teacher in my childhood, but
never knew who or what Montessori was. I took up
the Montessori training course quite by chanceaccidentally,
you can say. I did it mainly to avoid the
tasks of correcting books and setting papers for tests
and exams - the tedious monotony in a traditional
school! But, little did I know that it will alter my
outlook towards education and life itself.
I finished my course in 1997 and stepped into
Anweshana for a brief sojourn. I re-joined as a
parent and an educator in January 2001. From then
on, I have been on a continuous learning spree,
where i have enjoyed, owned, battled conflicting
emotions and opinions and above all blossomed into a
mature human being.
These are the few values which mean a lot to me and
which I have imbibed by working here:
To treat every living being with respect - be it
a child, adult, a plant or an insect.
To have faith in the child
To accept and learn from my mistakes.
To face any situation if it’s for the benefit of
the child.
To adopt and live a sustainable lifestyle.
Bharathi's gentle ways of nudging and guiding has
helped me develop a philosophical and holistic
attitude towards life. Her positive attitude towards
every individual has rubbed off on me and I'm striving
to develop her creative outlook as well.
I'm truly honored for the opportunity Anweshana has
offered me to mould myself into a better human
being.
