“Education is our passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to the people who prepare for it today”-Malcolm X.

Above all else, our educators wish to see growth and improvement in the overall functioning of their students through the medium of education. Now, here education does not mean sitting in a corner and cramming information all day, it also includes certain activities like sports, public speaking, theatre, etc. which will aid in the development of the child’s further interests. Now, it cannot be the sole responsibility of the teachers to strive for excellence, after all they are your guide. You, as students must also take some initiative to improve your overall performance. This can only happen when a student is willing to do hard work to become an outstanding student. A teacher’s responsibility is to impart knowledge and wisdom that meets with their students’ needs in an individualistic way- although this is a challenging task but effective teachers can make it happen. Although this fact cannot be ignored that resources and  effective teaching contributes to excellence among students, but those students who do not actively participate in their own studies cannot become outstanding students. There has to be participation from both sides which will in turn help students in achieving their goals.

It is the responsibility of students to come prepared for their classes so that they can absorb knowledge to the fullest extent possible. Also, they must try to implement whatever they learn in classes, to real life as well because things learnt in a practical way are seldom forgotten. Although it is a known fact that each student is different and they experience school differently, each of them can improve and become a better student with their own efforts and by developing an unrelenting zeal to learn.  When students develop these qualities, they become excellent in their studies and also various extra-curricular activities. Being an outstanding student does not only imply that the student is performing well at school, it also leads to confidence building and such children generally do well in their life post-school as well.
