I am a very proud and free mom today..Why? ‘Cause finally my elder son got through the St Mary’s School in Upper KG ! I should have hunted for schools and admission when he was to go to LKG.
On the day of his written test (imagine that for a 4.5 yr old) and an oral test, I was quite sure he will do well as he is a brilliant learner!
U know, he likes to learn about everything and anything! Such intelligent questions?
One question in the interview was what objects do u use in a rainy day?
He told me all that he cud think of including umbrella, raincoat, gumboots….and then he added ..” teacher u can use newspaper also if you don’t have anything else !”
I knew I don’t have to worry.
So on the parents’ interview day , my hubby and I waited for one hour for our turn with butterflies in my tummy!…
Mrs. Mathew, the director of St Mary’s was smiling and looking through her spectacles. She asked me, “So you are Shourya’s Parents?” And we replied “Yes”. Not forgetting any of our etiquettes, we pulled the chair to sit down.
Mrs. Mathew who was beaming said with a lovely smile ….” Oh your son has done very well, he is brilliant child!
Then she asked where my younger son goes. I told her as of now a playschool called Kidder Brook, but will be here after one year to join his brother in St Mary’s.
Hoping to see any change in expression or an answer to counter my far fetched thoughts, I looked into her eyes. read more…
