A Drop of Appreciation , An Ocean of impacts

"A teacher affects eternity, he can never tell where his influence stops" - Henry adams

It's true that simple appreciation can change someone's life. Through my life, I've experienced it in the best way possible. To be frank, I wasn't a diligent student who studied daily and prepared for exams. During my higher secondary days, I often spent lectures sleeping; I think it's the most peaceful time to sleep.

Unexpectedly, one day changed everything. It was in the last days of October 2023. My English teacher suddenly asked us to submit our homework during her lecture. I was unaware that she had assigned homework, and I didn't have my English notes. I was confused about what to write.

I started writing about my family trip to Bangalore and the man I met at Yeshwanthpur Railway Station. My handwriting is always messy and unclear when I write quickly. I had enough time to write a one-and-a-half-page blog about it.

Until she reached me, I was worried and confused about what I had written. I didn't know if it was a proper blog or not. I just wrote from the heart. I felt anxious that my blog wouldn't be good enough because I wrote it hastily without proper grammar checks.

When she reached my friend, who is the teacher's pet and class leader, I thought the teacher would tease me for writing about a faint topic without using literary devices. However, after reading my blog, she announced it as the best blog in the class. I thought she might be sarcastic, but she asked everyone to applaud and praised my writing style.

That small appreciation paved the way for my blogging experience. On the very next night, I started my blogger account and posted my first blog, 'The Stranger.' Now, it's been 15 months, and blogging has become my favorite way to spend time. I always enjoy checking the stats.

It was a small appreciation, but it meant a lot to me. It was just a small acknowledgement from a teacher, but it showed me my potential. Later, I realized that this small appreciation had a huge impact. I was a person who swore not to choose languages as my major subject for UG, but now I'm a B.A. English student, and I'm happy with my choice.

 It was not just a students union,its a team of influential people. KSU ZGC is a group of people which shows the true friendship and the values of human bonds , its a team of high valued people who works for a college even without thinking about personal life. Just within a day they taught me to enjoy and to approach everything around us in a positive way, without any boundaries of seniors or juniors   Apart from this ,for me ,it was not just a trip it was the day which I waited for the past 14 years ,it was first time in my life to set out a trip without my parents. To be frank ,I never had these kind of happiness in my life .The whole day of Happiness . The first and best trip , which I enjoyed with my seniors and batchmates.   I'm sure that this day will remain as the best memories of my life.These bond will never break until the ZGC and KSU remains alive.I had heard the name of most of them for the past 4 years. But the image about them in my heart had cha...

Something Very Special : Friends

-
Have you  ever thought ,What is the real definition of friends?, and why they are special to us? . As an extrovert , I earned lot of insults , But these insults made me more stronger. During first few weeks of my 11th class in a school  which is number in Kerala for its academic excellence ,  I ignored all other issues and tried to focus on my academic things , I'm not interested to create friends and I want to more silent . But it all changed after the selection of N.S.S volunteers , It was  my big dream to became a N.S.S Volunteer , As a volunteer I'm really interested in social service ,except cleaning because of my dust allergy N.S.S changed my life . After every N.S.S programmes I noticed that I'm comfort with  some of them ,because they are good persons , But we can't see it in their behavior ,because in heart they are good ,when it come to behaviour they are Vampires . The first person in  N.S.S  who I met as a new friend is Jishnu narayanan , H...
