Exploring Our Core Values – Life Skill Lessons
A session on Life Skill Lessons was conducted on the 15th of July 2022 for the students of grade XII by Ms.Maria Smitha and Ms.Vimala Roby. The session began with the students writing down qualities of a famous person they look up to. This activity helped the students reflect on the values and qualities that they find essential for an all round development of an individual.
The students were then shown a video which highlighted the following points:
- The choices we make are guided by our values.
- Things do not always go smoothly in life.
- You do not always have to fit in. Be different. Be you.
- Always remember to stick to your core values when things get rough
After this, the students were asked to reflect upon the core values in their lives and how we must use these values to not only grow individually but also inspire and help others around us to grow. The students were also given a helping hand in getting an insight of their career choices and how they must ‘walk the talk’ and start building their careers from that very instant.
The session progressed with Ms.Smitha motivating the students to be mindful and purposeful, know the importance of spirituality and build resilience as one has the power to control themselves but not the situation. The session ended on a successful note with Ms.Smitha sharing with the students a very beautiful quote – “Happiness is hidden within you, just remove the worries”. The students then left the hall with a clear idea of their core values and how they must always stick on to the values under every circumstance.
