A journey - Role modeling Resilience and Determination
Parental need for the resource of books loomed large at the administrative desks of VKGI.
Thoughts of parents shouted loud – When would you deliver the books? How can I collect the books?
But how do we do this mammoth task?
Limited Staff! Unavailability of vehicles!
A surge of willingness to taste the success of overcoming a challenge stared us in the face. A plan to distribute the books was drawn up – routes, route maps, personal vehicles synched with the routes, staff volunteers, segregating of books class-wise, subject-wise, packing, lifting, loading, unloading and the final distribution was chalked out.
And the journey commenced. Calls galore, waiting for delivery, customized and personalized requests, missing lunch and tedious hours of distribution turned out to be the reality.
End of day feelings would revolve around unanswered calls, appreciative calls and unpleasant calls. Despite the experiences, the feeling of having accomplished a new feat for the sake of our students gave the team the thrill of success.
A team that works together stays together. The few days of a new learning reiterated our belief –“One Dream One Team”. Respect for each other, discovering skills of the team and the feeling of joy in togetherness was our reflection.
Determination is an attribute of the strong-minded. Anything is possible if you have the passion and the drive.
