Enriching Experience

I read somewhere that if you find a job you love, you'll never work a day. I find myself fortunate enough to have found such a job. I am an art and craft teacher. It is my passion to create things out of seemingly nowhere. I was happy to join this school and teach the kids what I knew. But that's not what this job turned out to be. I expected to teach, little did I expect that I'd be learning too. And the least did I expect to enjoy it too.

I often wonder what my life would have been like, had I not been blessed to have joined this institution. The memory of the first task that was given to me is still as fresh as yesterday. I thought I had executed it well but the feedback I received proved otherwise. Honestly, I thank that great teacher for her constructive criticism. It was a boon that helped me strive for the creativity that was expected from me.

Over the years, I have seen myself change. I have grown as an individual. All the recognition and appreciation that has come my way has made me more confident than ever. I have undergone remarkable transformation in my personality, language and work. The challenges that come my way every other day keep the creative juices flowing. My association with this institution has expanded my horizon. The tasks like conducting workshops, addressing guest speakers, performing on stage, dancing, writing blog posts used to baffle me initially but by the end of it I felt extremely satisfied and had a sense of achievement. The faith entrusted on me by the management has played a vital role in what I am today. They have forgiven my follies, guided me and shown confidence in me. Their support has motivated me to give my best, always, and subjugate impossible with possible.

Secrets of a Teacher's Ward

It has been a year I passed my 12th grade and began a new journey of my life, but the memories of Oxford Public School have not yet faded. It has been a long journey with some ups and downs, a lot many things a child experiences in his school days - bunking a class, roaming around the corridors, standing outside Principal’s office, parents being called for annual report and what not. I am pretty sure most you might have experienced all of this, but to everyone’s surprise all of this never happened with me because my mother teaches in OPS. I find this blog the right platform where I can explain how it is to be a teacher’s ward. It is definitely fun. You are neither ghar ka na ghat ka :D . Classmates see you as a potential tale-teller and teachers expect you to be a perfect student!  I always studied in the school where my mother taught and for a year she was my class teacher too. So in my 15 years of schooling, I never missed her. We literally spent 24 hours together unde...

Let's be a child again

A child, who is a new spring A child, who is full of energy A child, who has desires A child, who has immense love. Life is not a game to tame, It is to feel the pleasure Life is to do silly acts, Add to regret them. Life is to appreciate what you have, It is to cherish the beauty you have. Life is to love the people around you, Not to question the relationships with you. Life is to accept the reality. It is to express heartily. Life is to live the moment, to be around the people you love, to keep your heart out, to enjoy the beautiful time, to plead, to regret........ Life is too short to be spent in ignorance and hatred. Life is just to love and spread love..... Priya Mundra Educator, Oxford Public School

My family, My Oxford

The title is indeed apt for my write up. Oxford is not just an elite school, its’ a royal family. I am extremely happy to be able to express my feelings towards my family through this blog post. The year 2007 was one of the best years of my life. It was 15 th of March when I joined Oxford Public School. First day can be frightening and I was nervous too. But the environment was so encouraging, all the educators were so dedicated towards their students. Everyone helped a new teacher like me, even the students – I was on cloud nine! Everything was so good! Continuing my journey in the school I made great friends, learned many new concepts of teaching and became part of this huge family. More importantly, Oxford became an integral part of my life. At Oxford, the students don’t just learn, they grow – mentally as well as emotionally. The senior administration including Principal Ma’am, Vice Principal Ma’am and Sudesh Ma’am have made this possible. They make sure that the educat...
