Amazing, nervous, exciting and
fabulous! My first day at Pathways was all this and more. My new friends were
as sweet as chocolate; my new teachers were as friendly as my previous school.
Everyone took care of me.
I liked the way of teaching at
Pathways. Teachers ask interesting questions and students find answers to them.
We did many activities in English, Math, Science, and ICT. All of them were
fun. DT and Art are my favorite. In DT we work in the workshop. In art we
worked with glue gun and paints. Also we did newspaper rolling, this was my
favorite. In my previous school, there were so many students so teachers
couldn’t take care of everyone. But here and specially pre-termers were less so
teachers could look into every students work and take care of them.

Pathways has been a pleasant
surprise after my previous school given how much difference there is in the
teaching methods as well as the content and level. The children are also very
different from what we had. Here the number of students in Grade 8 as a total
is the half of what we had in each section. Such a change, I always kept
thinking during the first few days, “Where are all the people?!”. The
facilities are world class, the DT lab being the star of the show as no other
school I know offers this subject. Every subject is taught with such detail,
whether Arts or Music, I already know how to read notes! Every subject and
activity is given importance, everything and everybody is equal!
I have grown in more ways than
one. As a person I am much more confident about what I am, who I am and what my
strengths and weaknesses are. I have become friendlier and more open to
different people. In true sense, Pathways is and will continue to change me
into a true global citizen. It will broaden my thinking and teach me to be
consistent in my work, teach me to be hard working and teach me not to take
things I have for granted. I will be a self dependent person and learn instead
of mugging up, I will truly discover my interests and develop the same in
subjects that I didn’t like before. It’s already started, Math is now one of my
favorites and so is Art!!

The learning environment is very
different here in Pathways from most other schools. The board (International Baccalaureate or IB)
is different from others and the teachers focus on the more important parts of
learning and they teach in a very nice way. They believe learning is a lot more
important than just knowing the answer. We have lots of activities like Art,
P.E twice a week; Drama, Music and Dance, since they build up personality ! I
love the learning environment here!
At first , in my previous school
, I couldn’t wait to get home , now when I get home I can’t wait to go to
school again . I’ve grown more confident in speaking up in class, shifting to
Pathways has done me a lot of good !
