A Journey of thousand miles begins with a single step By Lao Tzu

My journey as a teaching faculty in Swargarani started in the year 2005 as soon as I shifted my residence to Rajarajeshwari Nagar. I still remember the first day I went to Swargarani, crossing mud roads and under thick green foliage, I entered into an ambient atmosphere surrounded by a church on one side, a convent on the other and the school in the center. It was as though I was in a location right in the Wordsworthian Era.

The welcome that I received from Sr.Thomsin the then Principal of Swargarani was incredible. The moments spent with her are truly nostalgic. Her positive attitude, guidance and the faith she showed in her teachers made me what I am today. I learnt some of the most valuable lessons of life from her. My fondest times were when we would go on picnics together.
The important lessons of life like time management, discipline, not being judgmental and not being prejudiced were enhanced in Swargarani, along with responsibilities that come with being a teacher, it also gave me the satisfaction on a daily basis as teaching always keeps you around young children which gives us a chance to think more creatively.

A student spends most of his time in the company of his teachers and during these times we have to don many roles as mentors, counsellors, guides and sometimes play the role of the parents, according to the situation. This role play brought out many of my inherent qualities and gave me great satisfaction. Being around young enquiring minds with high energy levels, I always had to be a step ahead, a challenge I thoroughly enjoyed. Every corner of this institution has memories of those lovely moments spent with my loving students who later actually became a part of my family.

Being a teacher is in itself a matter of pride and self-motivation. It takes a lot of patience and courage to go ahead, most rewarding is when you see your students attaining success in educational status and career in their homeland as well as abroad.

People judge their success with money but for me it is the satisfaction of fulfilling the responsibilities entrusted to me as a teacher. Thus, I go forth on this journey with cherishing memories of all the people who have been a part of my life. It has been the most arduous but a rewarding journey.

Swargarani is in its silver jubilee year. I wish the institute and the management a great success for all their endeavours. May the light of Swargarani shine for years to come.

I’m proud that I am a Swargaranian. I take this opportunity to thank my dear Principal Sr Tania and the most able Manager Sr Immaculate for guiding my journey in Swargarani.
