Inspirational turn
This is an actual story about a boy who just graduated as
one of the best students from a technical institution of significance.
When he joined, he was the most disobedient among the
students, always trying to find one way or another to be in the limelight among
the backbenchers.
Smoking, making loud sounds or even at times ignoring
instructions from the professors, he was taking out his personal frustrations
in the college on his fellow students and teachers.
One day, the professors took him and other students on a
visit to a school for physically challenged. A boy trying to do a painting
caught his attention. He was attracted to his effort to complete forgetting his
physical disabilities. Both formed a rapport with each other and our student
started helping him instantaneously.
May be it was the first time in life he got connected to an
emotional human element. It never died down. Transformed at the realities of
life, he was a changed student altogether when he returned to his college.
Then on, everyone saw a different personality in him. He was
regular to his class and assignments and at the end of the course, he was the
best student in his batch.
Academicians have a big role in transforming students. The
students’ success to a certain extent lies in the capabilities of an effective
Communication Action Programme whereby they are taught in simple ways how
important is education and the significance of becoming a professional by own
efforts and merits.
There is always a good human being in everyone and the
success of a person or programme is dependent on finding out this and nurturing
in the right way.
Students like him are to be congratulated and educationists
who identify and develop such national potential at a young age are to be
praised.
