Persistence and Determination alone are Omnipotent
Every child is a different kind of flower, and all together, they make this world a beautiful garden. “Through education, we plant the seeds of curiosity that grow into trees of knowledge.”
A kid’s education starts at home and parents are their first teachers. Parents play a crucial role in instilling values and aspirations in children by being good role models, utilizing democratic parenting styles, and providing spiritual education and guide.
Likewise school is their second home and teachers also nurture children’s learning and provide various experiences to face challenges in life and teacher’s role is to make every child an independent learner.
Education, as an instrument of development, must, therefore be also a truly freeing experience, a process of liberation. Liberation from the numerous prejudices based on cast, gender, religion, region, language, etc. Thus “Education becomes the movement from darkness to light.”
Consequently when l was inducted as an ICSE Principal of Infant Jesus Convent School, Murukkumpuzha, in 2002, the institute was in its nascent stage. We had to create temporary infrastructure in the land purchased by the Superior General, Rev. Mother Mary Frances CCR.
It gave me immense pleasure to learn that service to the children, who are our future generations and leaders, is noble, especially to the beautiful serene environment and attractive scene surrounding the school.
But to take it forward, a large financial outlay was needed. We believed in Psalm 37:23.”Our steps are made by the Lord when HE delights in our way”.
As Zig Ziglar says; “I believe success is achieved by ordinary people with extra ordinary determination”.
It’s true! We can assure you that our dedicated team of teachers, and the large hearted benefactors’ persistence and determination alone made it. In spite of all the struggles, it was not easy to enumerate our many accomplishments. For example: huge playgrounds, spacious science labs, computer labs etc.
Beginning of the year 2024, I am back again, and l feel so happy to preserve the quality and talents inculcated in the children by Management, a team of Instructors, Parent Teachers Association, and the enormous Sponsors.
Over the years, football ground, basketball court, Kids indoor play area, Interactive Panels, language lab, robotics lab, dance class, karate, and so on, were introduced. James Allen reminds us that, Man’s life and character are determined by the thoughts in which he habitually dwells.
“Replace Excuses without Effort
Replace Laziness with Determination
And Everything Else
Will Fall Into Place.”
