HOW EXCELSIOR HAS HELPED ME GROW

I pursued my passion to teach by taking formal trainings, but my dream came true, when I got a job in Excelsior American School.
Every single day I spend in Excelsior brings with itself a new learning experience for me. I have learnt to be a self confident person, to be able to >
Analyze my mistakes and mend them too. I learnt to relate myself to the thoughts, feelings, expectations and insecurities of others and learnt to overcome mine. I have learnt to be more than a teacher, to be a true human being, who is alive….
There is a Latin proverb which inspired me the most," he who teaches learns".
This is what I have been doing each day that I spend with my kids in this wonderful place to which I can proudly address as my second home, my school, Excelsior American school .The place which has helped me grow, to be many people in many places, to be humble, to be a directress , a mother , a silent observer , a motivator and a friend. I would love to thank my director, who has always been a source of constant inspiration Miss Shalini for her immense support and applauds.Miss Ekta Kapoor

Thank you so much for sending me this lovely article....It's so true and so meaningful and only a person who is a a true teacher from within could have written it and only one who is a true teacher can understand it!

It touched me in so many ways....there's nothing else I would rather be doing....and I want to thank you today for being such an important part of the teacher and person I have grown into...Thank you.

Happy Teacher's Day to you and to everyone at Excelsior - I still consider it my school :-)

My heartiest regards to you and everyone present at Excelsior.I have been missing everyone a lot and as days are passing by the memories are being cherished more and more.
I wrote the following lines on Guru Purnima

Two years passed, like a blink of an eye..........
but the memories are lot
and will always be alive.

Moving out of Excelsior
sometimes make me realize,
i did not leave it as a teacher,
rather as a 4 yr. old child.

Pampered and loved by every one
every day and every time
the words are heard
still , like a melodious wind chime.

The times we shared
the times we cared
the times we fought
everything speaks that we loved each other a lot.

No matter i am away
my heart is still there
expressing my gratitude
for all your love and care.

Regards
Hema

First of all my heartiest regards to you.I hope Excelsior team is doing well.I just now saw the school web site and went through the teacher's corner.
so the urge to write again for it developed instantly....

I knew myself as "hema". A very simple girl who was quite contended with whatever she had.Life took her to various places where she met new people, followed instructions and still lived a simple ,happy life.But then she came to Gurgaon and thanks to her husband who brought her to Excelsior.After few months of joining she felt that she was not the same person .Though she was still called "hema'" ,she had dreams ,ambition,aspiration ,hopes.She could visualise success,growth in "hema" herself rather than "hema" as a teacher.
And all thanks to ms.shalini as she was the person who brought that change.
at present,i am in bangalore at my home....(family is very important.everybody needs you at home" she said) working from home(live life for urself.make people around you feel proud)as a content writer.this is personally my biggest achievement.after 10 years i've known my passion and am presently working on it.once again thanks to ma'am.she always said you can do wonders .i know you .you will rise and shine
But ms.shalini this growth as i said was just personal but apart from it iam working as a volunteer for a ngo as an educator .i can see you smiling . every body can work for himself but he is a better human who lives for others.

Regards
Hema

Every flying bird has a nest to live in;

Every human being has a home,

Every beautiful flower has a gardener to care,
But only few children have all the three, for they study at Excelsior

From moment you enter the school gate, to the last room. one enjoys the feeling of warmth and comfort. The peace and serenity prevails all over.

Free from screams, shouts and scolding the place make every visitor think “where are the children?”. A two-and-half year old to an upper elementary child would pass by you wishing and smiling. The peace table set helps the kid to settle their own conflict and sense of maturity. The freedom of expression, the freedom of thoughts and freedom to make mistakes and learn from them makes the environment enriching.

The practical life lab demonstrates, the true example of kids, being responsible at work. The cafeteria is not the place only for eating, as it also imparts the jewels of respect, kindness and compassion. The library gives them the freedom to learn and know what they like. The computer room far away from MS-DOS, Excel and other technologies rather it is room for displaying their knowledge and inner-self thru these man made machines. And last but not the least the classes are children’s play ground where they make their own rules and rule the place with their five senses ie. Commitment, Honesty, Individuality, Learning and Discipline and that is why they become a perfect CHILD.

This Diwali, celebrations at Excelsior took a different turn …we went to Mother Teresa Old age Home …

The children of Elementary were very excited and exuberant …Their parents loaded them generously with loads of gifts and accessories to give to the needy and the not-so-fortunate…

It was can eye-opening experience for most of the children …they were touched and traumatised with the plight of the inhabitants of the Old Age Home ….

The children of Elementary went an extra mile to bring cheer and smile to the faces of people, who had been deserted by their own near and dear ones …the children danced and sang for them …gave them the accessories that their parents had lovingly packed with them …

The innocence, love and tenderness of our children made happiness and gaiety find way in the Old Age Home ….

The old and the needy were reluctant to part with these sweet children …all that they craved for, was to touch the hands of our little angels …so that the warmth of their care, love and goodwill could help them forget their pain and anguish for sometime …

The children learnt how important it is to light someone's life …maybe even more than lighting one's own home with the Diwali Diyas …

This value based learning would definitely make our children better and more responsible citizens of tomorrow …Amen!

Humans understand the language of silence and love. Today was a memorable for kids of Excelsior American school as they marked their presence at the mother Teresa old age home. It was the moment of both pride and emotional outburst.

Anusha a kid of class 2 described her emotions towards the old and mentally retarded people by saying ,"the external beauty or appearance does not matter always, it is the heart of the person that matters more".

Anika and Rahul expressed themselves by saying that ,"If the old people love to see and touch us, then we can go to meet them again".

Kids made their day by performing dance and making them dance along, by singing beautiful prayer like itni shakti hamen dena data and songs.

Our solemn effort in making our kids understand the depth of emotions an old age person goes through, when they are neglected was accomplished. Our kids could definitely understand the huge mental trauma a person goes through, if neglected and not taken care off by their own loved ones.

We, at Excelsior are proud of celebrating Diwali , by lightening someone's life with smiles .

The hallmark of any institution's success is a motivated team of people who run it. There is truly no substitute for it. A real sense of success and completion is when one is driven by the love for one's work.. This in very simple terms and sub-consciously is considered a Dream job. It automatically transforms a regular employee to a dedicated and willing individual.

In my experience as a teacher in Excelsior I have lived the ethos with my colleague's everyday. With the kind of independence that all section educators are entrusted with in terms of their Class materials/ children/ organization and planning of curriculum has bestowed trust between all Excelsior members. We have cherished and valued responsibility since it is accompanied with freedom. The work atmosphere needless to say is very positive. There have been motivational programs run by the school for their faculty members which have been priceless.

Children henceforth find themselves in an environment where their self- motivated Teacher guides them to connect with their learning spark. They are aware that they are perfect at every stage of their learning and have the confidence for being respected and accepted for who they are. This in turn motivates them to value their work for the right reasons- not to please their adults or for fear of them neither for the best grades but because they love it.

Excelsior recognizes that " Motivation determines what you do; Attitude determines how you do it." A self- inspired learning attitude is what Excelsior has and shall continue to aim for.

Right from the time when the child gets birth to his college graduation, one lesson taught to every child is to RESPECT. Starting with the words like ‘Namaste’ and ‘How are you’ to you are great and ‘wonderful’ the words showing respect and admiration are endless.

Being a teacher myself, similar lessons were taught by me also to the children. But the transition from teacher to educator happened when I joined Excelsior American school, gurgaon.

The lesson which I missed in my school and I think most of us is ‘Self Esteem’ or ‘Self Respect’.

In order to respect someone else it is very important that you respect yourself. As the five fingers of our hand are not equal, no one in the world is similar. Infact, everyone is unique. The children of GOD with different faces, interest, abilities.

The Excelsior students analyze their own potential and work at their own pace with their own standards of achievements.
The basic SWOT test taught in all management school is covered partly i.e. (Strength and weakness) by a three year old at Excelsior.

I feel proud to be associated to a place, and I truly go by Excelsior philosophy which says…..

I have a dream and I can………
