Our school recently conducted the second career counseling session for Grades XI and XII, designed to engage students in self-reflection, skill-building, and awareness of emerging career opportunities. Led by Mr. Santosh, the session was filled with activities and insights that resonated deeply with our young learners.
Session Highlights: Engaging Activity for Self-Discovery
The session began with an engaging exercise where students were invited to draw a picture of a mouse and a cat, sparking an interesting discussion about whether to depict a computer mouse or a real one. This light-hearted activity set the tone for active participation, as students enthusiastically discussed their choices. Mr. Santosh used this activity to emphasize how simple tasks can reveal personality traits, encouraging students to reflect on both strengths and areas for growth.
Key Takeaways: Embracing Self-Awareness and Personal Growth
A major focus of the session was on self-awareness. Mr. Santosh motivated students to critically assess their qualities, urging them to cultivate positive habits to overcome weaknesses. This introspective discussion empowered students to take ownership of their personal growth, fostering a mindset for continuous improvement.
Discussion on Mobile Usage and Time Management
The session also addressed the impact of mobile addiction. Mr. Santosh highlighted the importance of mindful mobile use, stressing that excessive screen time can hinder personal development and reduce productivity. This served as a valuable reminder for students to manage their time effectively and prioritize their goals.
