Note from Principal

Step out of your comfort zone!

After having spent two years with online classes, most students have become comfortable with them as they have the freedom to keep their cameras off. Even if they are asked to turn on the video, the usual response is “poor network”! After schools reopened, students are back to school with masks which is mandatory. But now there is a tendency for many students to hide behind the masks as they are not easily recognized by others.

Have you gotten too comfortable with your mask? Are you trying to hide behind it? Probably, it helps you hide your emotions, suppress your feelings and avoid talking. With Covid-19, our life has changed, and we can’t predict a date to be rid of this pandemic and masks; they have become a part of our dress code. Some people have found a safer place behind masks to hide their feelings and escape from reality. They have become so comfortable with masks that they do not want to show their faces to others.

A comfort zone is not a good place to be in it. It limits us and doesn’t help us grow. Here is a beautiful story.

Long time ago, a king received 2 beautiful baby eagles in form of a present. The king was very pleased with the gift and decided to hire an experienced caretaker for them. He took great care of them and developed such a strong bond with those two that they didn’t need to be caged.
