“Error is only the opportunity to
begin again, more intelligently” – Henry Ford
The secondary school awards
ceremony did not mark perfection, or a path with no mistakes, it was in fact, a
show of appreciation for
THE COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP AWARD
being given to ANYA LAURIA by Director, Pathways, Mr. Praveen Jain,for
demonstrating leadership skills in
several areas within the school community, in the Class of 2012-13
those who tried their best, to
their full abilities and reached their goal. It was for the students who stayed
dedicated throughout. Whether it be the special awards, the academic awards, or
the investiture ceremony, the whole room was full of this proud aura. I’m sure
most of it came from those sniffling parents on the right, but the students
cheering and hooting for their friends from the left was like a cherry on top
of a perfect day.You know how when someone announces the chief guest’s turn to
speak and the whole audience inwardly groans, and then continues to glare at
the chief guest throughout his or her speech? This time, the negative reactions
came to a stop still after the groan. The chief guest’s speech was so engaging
and interesting, that it was almost surprising. He was frank and honest about
his job and his experience. It completely perked the audience up.
Sure, we go to the same school.
We see each other everyday . . . but this feeling of the whole school united,
is rarer than you’d think. But this unison being rare is what makes it special.

THE ETHICAL LEARNER AWARD being
given to MEHAK DIWAN by Director, Pathways,
Mr. Praveen Jain, for being balanced and principled in her
conduct in all school areas, in the Class of 2012-13
It was there that I felt it all been acknowledged. Don’t get me wrong I had been, several times in the past but
it gave me a different feeling when they called my name out and announced my
winnings. My heart raced fast and my head felt heavy. As I walked up the stage
and shook hands with Dr. Advani I felt so proud of what I’d done. Every eye was
on me, I had earned this. Standing there on stage, with the yellow spot light
right on me and my certificates held tight in my hand I knew I would do
anything to live this moment again. I would try harder each year just for this
glorious moment, and hope it felt just as similar yet different each time.

It was a lovely day on 30th Aug.
because it was the award ceremony and we were all getting awards for last year.
All the children were excited because each of them were getting awards. The
children were so happy that they could not stop jumping.

In the award ceremony we and our
parents had lots of fun. We got our last years awards in front of our parents.
And I know that the parents were proud of their children. The room was filled
with the Children’s smile like a smiley ball.
