I wanted to share a few of the well written essay samples from the EOY assessment. The kids still have a long way to go but they stated their ideas so beautifully that I couldn't resist sharing them. A few have written about people who made a deep impression in their lives while few have stated what they would like to change in their lives. Listed below are the kids and their writing samples
Fauziya Shaikh
The most important person in my life is Pukhraj Didi. She is the best teacher in my life. She has made a difference by teaching me fabulously. She has improved me in everything. She has taught me lots of new things like new words, given us sheets to solve because we should not forget. She has taken us for many field trips and always helped us learn something new and interesting.
I will never forget her because she is the best teacher in my life.I really am grateful to her.I also know that she worked hard to teach us. She has put her full efforts in teaching. She used to teach us in a nice way and was very polite. If we didn’t understand she used to take extra classes. We have hurt her a lot and sometimes she used to cry.
In the end when she left school forever she still had a big plan for us. Her plan was to make us intelligent, smart and educated. I know that she misses us a lot and we too miss her a lot. After writing this essay, I feel like I want to cry because I miss her a lot.

The most important things in my life are courage, perseverance and optimism. A lady had seen ups and downs in her life. She also faced many obstacles, she overcame those. She is a best example of ‘Our choices define us’.
A person from whom I learn’t ‘Property is not the only thing in world,many other things are required for a country’s progress. Successful people don’t do different things, they do things differently’. Her name is Radha Sooryavansham. A teacher who protected her students. Radha also served humanity.
Once Radha came to a village.She was a teacher in a small school.She did not have anybody.The villagers were conservative,they would send girls to the head of the village’s house. He would molest them and involve them in human trafficking.When Radha heard this from a student, she went to the student’s parents and asked for legal adoption. They said no. She did many things to stop it happen. Then one day she killed the sarpanch and saved her student.She also sold her jewellery,property and raised fund for the school. She built a NGO for all those girls who had suffered from this.She was not arrested because she had killed him in self defence.
Everyone has courage inside them, the thing is to show it. Money can buy soldiers but not bravery,Money can buy scholars but not their wisdom, money can buy books but not knowledge.

I want to change one thing about the world. When old people give bad words,younger children also do the same. We should tell everyone to not give bad words.
One day I was walking on a road,I saw young children smoking, giving bad words and teasing girls. We should tell them not to do this. We can use pepper spray or chilli spray if people tease girls. Then only they will forget to do things like these. If boys do not listen, then we can take action and tell the Police to take them to jail and we can do a hunger-strike and tell everyone that it is wrong.

If I could change one thing about the world,I would change the mindsets of people of the whole world. I want to change their mindsets because I heard that people are bombing in other countries,girls are getting killed because of gender discrimination and are not given equal opportunities.
Because of all these things,the future generations also have the same mindsets.Girls are not getting opportunities.Fights between countries are getting worse.They are using inventions in a negative way.Citizens of many countries are killed.People do not come out of their houses.They believe in superstitions,animal sacrifices.
Girls do not get to share their ideas and suggestions. In many poor countries people are teaching young children to use guns,make human bombs and attack people. Poor people don’t think and send their children to terrorists because they get money in return.In many villages there is not proper education and hence the villagers do not earn.
In some countries,the mindsets are changing. More and more people get educated. If something can change the mindsets of people then that is education. But people use education in a wrong way.Many people want to fight for injustice. I want to tell people that girls can do everything that a boy can to progress.

I want to change one thing, that is stop alcohol factories.
I want to stop alcohol factories because when people drink alcohol, they come home and start giving bad words to their wives and beat their children.Sometimes the wives and children die because they are tired.
People look at the family and say’ This is the son of the drunkard’. When the alcoholic goes to the doctor,the doctor tells them that your kidneys have failed. The person can’t tolerate and goes up to the terrace and jumps down.
If you want to stop your father from drinking alcohol,then given that product a full stop and come with me to write a letter to the Prime Minister to stop the production of alcohol and give reasons. Stop the factory of alcohols and make your house a alcohol free house. Thank you and take time and think about it.
Vanshika
Anish Bhaiya is the one who has been important to me because inspite of being a flute teacher,he always used to encourage me in all the things I wanted to do like football etc.Whenever we were depressed or confused he used to help us in solving our issues.
He always used to tell us that you can be like boys and do whatever you want to. If our parents disagreed to our opinions, Anish Bhaiya used to talk with our parents personally and allow us to continue.On 15th August 2012 he left India and went abroad to study but our flute practice continued on Saturdays. We used to chat on Skype. Whenever we had our performance, he used to come to India and teach us.
Inspite of being a flute teacher, he always was like our best friend. He was a guide to me. I always used to trouble him but when he went abroad ,I realized that. I would always remember him in my life. I think that Anish Bhaiya was broad-minded and eco-friendly.
I always think that I would be like him and get inspired by him and seeing me many others would be inspired by me and the opportunities for girls and boys would be equal.

A person who I know has been important to me is Chandrika Didi. She had taken lots of efforts to teach us. She took us on many field trips. She speaks politely to us.If we don’t understand she explains us.She is considerate to us and her conduct is very nice.She tell us to never give up.
She is important in my life because she works hard. She teaches us a lot of things we do not know.She tells us ‘You have to work really hard so you will surpass other’. She does not tell you are inferior, I will not teach you and you are superior and I will teach you. She does not discriminate between us. She does not beat us. She taught us to use vocab words and speak in proper English.
In my life that is why she is very important to me.

The most important person in my life is my Dad. When I was born and when he got to know I was a baby girl he did not react like some others who would say No! A baby girl. He was very keen to see me and my mother was too glad.
My father used to help me. Whatever I wanted he gave me, he never said no. He used to forgive me for my mistakes. He taught me the 3 words ‘self-independence, integrity, perseverance’. I love to draw, he allowed me to join drawing classes. He is never dependent on others. Today at the age of 45, he drives the car everyday only for us. Now-a-days he has to face many obstacles, sometimes he does not talk to me too. But I know that his love for us has not reduced.
I say that life is the first gift, love is the second and a person who makes you successful is the third gift. I have been able to achieve only because of one person and that is my father. I love my father.

A person important to me is Milind Bhaiya. He taught me English. He came to our home. He used to come home and teach us. He danced with us. He taught me Maths.

If I could change one thing in the world. Do you know what it would be? I know it won’t change today itself but it will change someday.
I want to change the difference between boys and girls and make them equal forever. I don’t want girls to be at home and do all the household work and boys to roam anywhere they want to, go to play and go to school. I am not saying that boys should not get freedom,they should get but what about girls? They should also get freedom to go outside and play outside. Girls should do housework but boys should help them in it eg cooking,sweeping. Girls should go to school,work hard and become something and their parents that ‘see if you would not have sent me to school,I would not have become this person’. They should stand on their legs and make their parents proud of them.
Girls and boys are equal and no one can make them different. I will change this by going to all houses in our community. Now also there are people who are not treating girls equally but one day they will understand about equality between girls and boys.
