Influential teacher
During my own challenging times as a student, two remarkable teachers, Sreelatha Ma'am and Usha Ma'am, stood by me. They believed in me when I struggled to believe in myself. Sreelatha Ma'am once told me, "Share the goodness you have received," a piece of advice that resonates deeply with me. Good teachers have an instinctive ability to understand and respond to children's thoughts, even when families may not.

Mentoring to help others learn
My journey through zoology was not just about understanding the animal kingdom; it was about understanding the potential to nurture young minds. I firmly believe that my role is not to teach but to help others learn. This subtle distinction has guided my approach to mentorship. It's about empathy, understanding, and responding to children's needs, especially during times when their families might not fully grasp their thoughts.
