In the beginning when I read this…..

• I didn’t realize how for some people even going to school is such a big struggle. I always took school for granted.

• I didn’t know what a big role a good teacher can play in your life.

• How stereotypes and backward thinking affects peoples education.

When I finished reading this…...

• I truly understood the importance of good education.

• I realized how hard work+right people is always a winning combinations.

• How many people struggle in the education sector.

• How difficult it is to bring positive change.

What remains the same:

• Nothing on this topic truly remains the same. Everything that I believed has been refreshed as I wrote above.

The way this book changed me is something that I felt I had always been doing, but in reality, had been doing it very inconsistently. So I feel like we should always be considerate of someone's feelings, because we never know what someone is going through. I also think that we should appreciate our parents and friends more because: 1)Our parents work so hard to give us the social life and personal life that we have today 2) Our true friends are always there to help us no matter how we treat them or how we react to a topinc, etc..

My view about people changed, I realised that some people find it hard to express their emotions. Sometimes we don't know what others are facing. Sometimes I have learnt to accept the fact that it is not wrong to have strong opinions that are other than societal beliefs.

The world is filled with obstacles, and we must face them. Life isn't like life when there are no challenges to face.

I have learnt that for everyone, their problems will always seem the biggest. But we must never ever think that others don't face problems, which is the mistake that Mahendra sir did.

What remains the same for me is that societal beliefs and stereotyping still stick around the world.

But like I said, Strong opinions are not wrong.

You never know what a person is going through so we have to be kind to everyone.

Anubhav sir made a lot good changes. He himself has faced hardships and it's about how he chooses to react. Where negativity is spread, you don't have to join along the path everyone is going. That is, to be negative. We should should spread positivity and look at things from a better way.

At first I wasn't sure about this book when I read it. It was confusing but I kept reading it and I was so surprised by how realistic it was.

And what I hated the most was when majendra sir was really harsh with students, he was the reason Ramen and Ashim dropped out of school.

1. I am very competitive as a person. I also possess an unquenchable thirst to prove myself. Reading about how Nirmal Front up confessed that he did not deserve the first place really softened my competitive nerves. I thought about how tough it would have been for me to admit the same in nirmal's position.

2. Ashim had grit to spare, like all resilient leaders, he worked hard to achieve what he wanted. His intellectual capability to solve complex math problems really spoke about how many people stereotype that people with bad environment/parents pick up the same habits

3. It was inspiring. An emotional roller coaster. How embracing change, being malleable, living gently and working hard are the key ways to live our lives.

You never know what is going on in a persons mind and you judge them by their expression and sometimes they do not show their true feelings so I will always choose my words carefully

1-Value and respect everyone, they might be going through a lot even if you do not know it.

2- Different stereotypes exist, and many people get judged and there is backward thinking

3- True friends are people who stick with us help us from what we are going through and stay by our side no matter what.

4- Ive learnt that many people go through hard times but good people are people that know the right path and stand strong no matter what.
