Hola Friends!
Hi everyone! I’m really
excited to return to blogging. A lot has happened since I last wrote and I look
forward to sharing all the news on my life back here in India.
I thank each one of you for being a part of my life’s journey. Cheers to new beginnings!
After an enrichening journey through college
for the past two years, I’m finally in the last semester of my Master’s program
in Psychological Counseling and will graduate this May. The friendships and
bonds I’ve built at Montfort are a great source of joy.
I’ve found my sense of
purpose working with children in distress. I wish to specialize in child and
adolescent couseling because of the importance of early intervention in
addressing psychological problems.
Apart from academics, I
spend a lot of time at Shanti Bhavan with my peers and caretakers who are
family to me. They constantly encourage me to try harder at the things I set
out to do. While on campus, I love
reading bedtime stories for the little pre-schoolers and passing on my
knowledge of psychology to the residential caretakers who play the role of surrogate
parents for the children.
Unlike before, I’ve
begun to visit my family back in my hometown in rural Karnataka more often.
They look forward to my visits to hear stories about my life not just at
college and in Shanti Bhavan but also about all the dreams I have for my future.
I’ve learnt to accept my role as the ‘peacemaker’ in the family with humility.
I thank each one of you for being a part of my life’s journey. Cheers to new beginnings!
God bless all your efforts. I'm really proud of all your accomplishments and I pray for greater ones in your future. You and the few girls portrayed in "Daughters of Destiny" are prime examples of the tremendous effect that nurture has in developing our characters.
