Every Child Is Special

1 Impression:  

            I was amazed with the movie generally. The teacher whom named Mr Ram Shankur Nikumbh is very admirable. He boosted out my eagerness to serve youth. He was able to give the real meaning of a teacher. No matter how co-teachers disappointed him he clashes out from them and look for the means on how he could help Ishaan Awasthi (a child who has dyslexia). After the movie I silently reminisce and put out myself in the shoes of Mr Nikumbh and I found out how hard being a teacher but the passion to help and educate youth doesn’t change my mind. Another thing that enlighten me is when he use his mastery on  how he change and brought out again Ishaan in the world that full of colours happiness and most especially he taught how to dream on again.

            I felt a bit of sadness for the reason that it’s not typical for now a days a teacher like Mr Nikumbh, whom affected with the burden of his student. He also has the capability to know and solve a problem. He never left alone Ishaan to lost in the middle of nowhere, unlike other teachers did. It is an opportunity to watch out this movie because it shows the real flight of a teacher as well as the mind set in changing humanity into its own aesthetical capability.   

            The story was started in a descripted way by which the main character of the story was introduced. Ishaan Awasthi a playful, jolly and wondrous child. Since, like a typical child he got dirt, very stinky every time he went back home came from the school. The saddest thing in this child is that he always failed from their quizzes and exams. He also has a problem in spelling and analyzation. That is the reason why he always experience bulling from his classmates until it comes to quarrel, but that’s not the big problem, Ishaan has neurological problem and that is dyslexia. This is an impaired ability in reading or spelling. It is not a typical problem that’s why his parents and also some of his teacher don’t know his dilemma. Addition on it his parents doesn’t care him one hundred per cent. Moreover, teacher doesn’t acquire the total affection or not well educated on how to handle student who are inappropriate way of learning. They thought that the child has a mischievous attitude, dumb, lazy and naughty.

 Probably it tends to punish the child thinking that it will change and learn from it. A traditional teacher, punishment as a form of motivation was very rampant. Unnoticely, the child became more depressed. The time came that Ishaan was sent out by his parents in a boarding school. The parents mind set is that the child will have given more attention and discipline, but what happened, Ishaan was not just mentally destructed but he’s also emotionally affected from separation to his family. He felt emptiness from that school since no one can understand his feelings. He thought that he is worthless no one loves him. He stop from exploration and never been looks like jolly anymore. People who are the source of his strength took away him from them.

            Until the time came a teacher named Mr Nikumbh who is very cool, brought back again Ishaan in a world that full of happiness. It is the time when this teacher knew about the problem of Ishaan that the child has dyslexia but he has an above average of intelligence. From searching from the cause, he founded out that Ishaan has an exceptional capability in appreciating art, he is excellent in painting. Mr Nikumbh explained everything to the parents of Ishaan. Through that Mr Nikumbh uses that capability of Ishaan likewise his mastery to explore out again and to continue him to dream on. Since Mr Nikumbh experience the same dilemma of Ishaan during his childhood, he exerted his effort to teach the child where he is weak on. He uses colourful and artful materials to boost out his interest to learn. The day passes by Mr Nikumbh found out that Ishaan learns little by little. Nikumbh conducted a painting contest in the school and this contest discovers the hidden treasure of Ishaan, from that the confidence of Ishaan became stronger. He won the first place because of the uniqueness and amazing masterpiece. That very moment Ishaan felt happiness, importance through the compliments and admiration of all the people that surrounds him. Finally, his father realises his mistakes. Now Ishaan is not anymore treated as a moron or an idiot, he is now like sunshine on a winter day that lightens up the mind of his schoolmates, families and of course all the teachers.

Like a typical story Ishaan live happily with the love of his family and a very supportive teacher.

11.  Educational Principles in the Movie:

1.     Each child learn their own pace

        That child must not be rush on to understand something. Let them explore their own way of how to gain leaning. It is a matter of step by step learning. Now as a teacher what we can do is to guide them and to give an extra- attention and patience on how to explain everything they wanted to know.

     Child’s nature is very wide in a manner of playing or making their own world out of everything. Motivation like punishment doesn’t help to a child on how to gain knowledge instead it makes the child to be shameful or out of interest to explore Thiers elves.

2. Teaching strategy used by Mr Nikumbh                                                                                                              

    He uses the interest of Ishaan to motivate him to learn in some aspect of learning, where he is weak on. By means of activities which is through motor learning he were able to make a blaze of fire from a single spark of light and enlightens not just the mind-set of Ishaan but all the people who witness his heroic deeds.

       Mr Nikumbh is an ideal teacher, he possess a flexible teaching capability. This is not just how to implement a just learning to the student but how to look upon or behind to the problem that could actually hinder the learning of a student.

3.     The table is so small for a wide imagination of a child

      This line is true; it only means that teachers must responsible to know how to express child’s imagination. This is the way how to know their needs and to compare the right from wrong. So much for that we conduct different activities on how to know their weaknesses and strength.

     We cannot just rate students’ intelligence in just simply writing or speaking we must know the different types of learning and to apply different activities on how to enhance it.

MOVIE- reaction, analysis and reflection.

TO SIR WITH LOVE

Ricardo Braithwaite is the main character of the movie. Braithwaite is a black man, who really stands firmly in the midst of discrimination during his times. He also taught students not just the lessons that they have to know in their course but also he taught on how to value their selves and others, more of that, he built to the minds of his students to believe in their own capability. A  Heroic deed to be considered for now a days, No matter how rampant is the racial discrimination on that time he never give- up but instead he focussed on what is need to be changed in the different perspective of his students and the other  people surrounds him.

    First, the behaviour of teenagers who are treading on the path of being extreme rebels, Second human relations and the always complicated teacher-student relations, Braithwaite went through three 'phases' in his relationship with the students - the 'noisy', 'silent' and 'bawdy' phases, all increasing in aggression, Third, The idea of prejudice is not new to any black man alive but what strengthens this theme is that Braithwaite also is guilty of reverse prejudice toward some of his students, Forth, Braithwaite also finds himself embroiled in a conflict between Potter and another teacher, Bell ,and lastly, the students' social background.

     He tried to be friendly during the first weeks of his teaching, but the time came that he needs to be strict and to be firm in managing the students so that he could able to gain respect, He also analysed the social background of his students where more of them are poor and insufficiently from parental guidance and attribution on good conduct. It strengthens his belief that he needs to be straight- laced on disciplining his students that they could only be morally inclined through his concern. he also defends the right of his students even he is not anymore involve in a particular commotion, he finds himself in the position of having to defuse the situation between Bell and his student Potter
     The significance of the theme song on the movie is that, it gives the real connotation of the movie, that there is a noble teacher who really cares for the total transformation of a particular student towards betterment, students who could actually define and classify what is right and wrong and the fact that anyone has potential to be an agent of change, whatever race you belong or whatever trials comes along, still, you are the director of yourself.  

MAKE A DIFFERENCE 

           I really touched by this movie, as a future teacher I was enlightened on what is the real world of teaching. Touching life of a particular student is a part of hardships that I am about to face in the future. The mark that I am about to left in the heart of the students will depend on what will I do to them. There is a simple way to engrave a positive legacy in their heart and in their mind, and it is to feel their presence which involves not just the things that I may have seen to them, but most importantly is the presence of the feelings that they may have. What makes difficult on this is on how will I know it and on how will I address the different feelings that they may encounter in their lives. I also further conclude that learning is not always come in the teacher but students can be also a source of learning that might acquire by a teacher. I was sad from the tragedy that had been encountered by the child in the story; if I were also in the shoes of teddy I might feel the same thing. I was amazed to teacher because she never gives- up Teddy, she helped Teddy to go back to his real world as a child, and she brings back Teddy in the world of full of inspiration and determination. This is an inspirational deed that engraved in the heart and mind of Teddy.

I was inspired also by Mrs.Thompson, through his open- hearted characteristic she would able to change one’s life. The act that she did was priceless and very unusual in this present time. I am very much lucky to have a chance to know this story and I assure to you- reader, that I will keep that lesson that I have gained in this story. I know in a right time I would able to use this good moral. It moulded me on how to be a teacher in the future, and on what perspective that I must possess in the field of teaching. Students for now days would think what course will secure a better career and life in the future, basically, they would choose teaching profession or education course; out of knowing, in the midst of the course they will found out that education or being a teacher is not an easy profession as they thought. Why I am writing this? It is because I was one of the students who have a thought like that, which I considered now as a misconception. Since I am now in this course and I would able also to watch different inspirational movie that has different dilemma in teaching, little by little it prepares me to be a responsible and forward looking teacher to be. I will be in the battle field where mind and heart is the weapon for me to survive. It is not a typical job unlike others they can do whatever it takes, teaching is a job where you have to balance everything, your personal life, your students learning’s and feelings, relationship between your co- worker and the most important one is your act within the society, all of that aspect should be considered equitably, responsibly and consciously.

           

           

Forbidden Love

I am not expecting this person to read this letter... I was fell in love to this person when I was in my younger age, I can't pursue, fight, show or express my special feelings to (  ) not because were too young to plight our emotion but because I was just like standing on a rock on the middle of the river full of dangerous reptiles ravening for a bounty food. One amiss move would be enough to ruin my morality  as well as might affect my family. Protecting and maintaining an unstained white cloth would had been the chain that tied my heart for how many years, all illogical preventions I had made just to survive against the norms of the society.

You know even I was not able to express my feelings for you I know you noticed how I have changed after we used to be so closed as friends. I know you didn't make different move when our friends bullying me against you upon knowing that I love you, I was very uncomfortable every time they doing that but even I felt humiliated I let them to do that contemplating that you will build a wall between us even my heart would bleed when you did it, but you didn't. I don't know what to do that time: you stood still, you never changed, you treated me the same way. I was thinking that time you are waiting for me to confess you personally. but NO I steadily go forth to the conclusion that it was an unlawful feelings; I set aside my personal happiness my affection from you. I push you away, I used to disrupt our friendship, I acted very unfair, very baleful though my heart had begging to stop me, begging to just go with the flow grieving from hurting you. I was very frantic, the world dictating me to follow what is just relying to its standard...how hard to heal the pangs after ensuing to it.

I was wretched for what I have chosen, for what I have believed on and for what I have did. I hurt myself and either you; sorry i can say if you were too... years of struggling, years in pain and years before I could able to move on. YES it was my decision, it is the most remarkable moment in my life which such I have learned very much and that should not happen again. YES you are my first love, a forbidden love. I know you would understand.

Your friend

True Love

TRUE LOVE is when I always want to see you,
is when my heart bit races so fast as I see you coming near,
is when my eyes sparking as we catch each other eyes,
is when I feel nervousness as you approach me by your meaningful "hi", and a shy type voice of mine will respond "hello", 
I felt my voice get numbed as my nostrils working out to savor the fragrance on your body as we walk on diverted ways,
It is true love when all our senses working unordinarily.

The moment we could have the chance to talk, I preciously take each second to know you better,
The laughter and serious moments make my day happily ever after, I mean, I am in the shoes of the protagonist in a fairy tale, like as if I forgot all the pains before this true love came...
Back to reality, how impatience to wait my phone to rang expecting for your massage to come,
How so funny, How so eerie, rushing to pick up my phone when I heard the message tone...
It is true love when we texted each other until the dawn came,
A sweet smile when I fall asleep waiting for you in my dreams,
And as i wake up in the morning even i don't have enough sleep, I feel energized to see you then.

True Love does it,
True Love will come expectedly but unexpectedly when,
True Love gives different degree of happiness but as likewise with the contradictory,
True Love will weigh you how priceless you are and how worthy you are,
True Love will drive to live each day gratefully and unhesitatingly,
True Love will be the only one who will dictate to surrender yourself morally,
And most importantly, true love is the extent on how to live this life meaningfully.   

 

 

VAGUE?

How would i write?...How would I start? Things seem unclear to me remembering the happenings in my past, reminiscing that things/ moments that made me who I am now?. Life changes constantly as constant as we met different people. when I was child, I would say that " I'm very vigorous but facing what ever came along, I was happy after all no matter what the result was. Enduring to what new that time was an exciting moment for me. I don't know if this is the what they called inspired- feeling... but yes I would agree, I was and I did, but still illucid for me. I just can't figure- out or believe on the notion that we could able to do better if we are in this feeling, maybe I was just enthusiastically doing things that time because of curiosity or by the innate nature.
Relating to who am I now, I would say that I have changed 360 degrees and I don't know why; i am very careful about doing something in an extremely accurate and exact way, this is my settled standard now  that I should exercise always. I do not engage to any activity right away because of the fear of negative results, curiosity to new things of course still present but before appealing to it I reflect. Now here I would admit that I'm not inspired but still vague to me if this changes merely done by this feeling or just made or demanded by the nature.
