Understanding one’s environment and being able to apply what you have learned in class to real life are two of the most important skills a person can acquire. Many people retire and go on with their lives without ever learning this skill. Only a few people break this mold and see the problems around their lives and come up with solutions.
Learning needs to go beyond classrooms, due to the changing times and environmental concerns as well as the percolation of technology into our daily lives. Visionary leaders with the vision to invent, transform, and visualize solutions that will bring about positive social and economic change are needed. While grades are important, successful students also take an active interest and learn from the world around them.
Hridanshu Khandelwal teamed up with his Class 11 classmates to raise funds for the poor. His online NGO Project Solicare raised significant funds for Covid Care kit. Saanvi Singla was in class 10 and had a passion for art and the environment. He came up with the idea to design ceramic planters as an environmentally-friendly replacement for plastic pots in offices or homes. This is a great example of how students can make the world a better place if they believe they can.
The right time
Now, the big question is: When is the best time for these young minds to be educated and inspired? To help future leaders, parents, teachers, and mentors can use age-appropriate books and projects. It has two benefits: it encourages leaders and thinkers who act in the society’s best interests and, secondly, it helps students build a holistic and well-rounded profile.
Experiential learning is essential for professional and personal success. Skills such as adaptability, time management, collaboration, leadership, problem-solving, and communication, imbibed through continuous engagement in community service and outreach programmes, are extremely useful while applying for college admissions abroad.Extracurricular activities are a great way to differentiate ones profile, illustrate college readiness, and demonstrate values and goals. Education is used to improve society, both nationally and internationally. This can lead to positive transformation. A student who wants to become a doctor can volunteer at an old age home or orphanage. An aspiring software engineer might be able to volunteer to teach those less fortunate.
