The Journey Of A Josephite

"Onward and Upward" are the golden words that describe the motto of a Josephite. It has been a remarkable journey of eleven years as a Josephite. An army of galvanizing teachers and wholesome friends has guided me throughout my journey.My experience as a Josephite has different layers- some very wonderful and some not so pleasant. So here I invite you on a ride through an amazing journey of a Josephite.

After my kindergarten, my parents decided to do my admission in prep at St. Joseph's higher secondary school. I still remember my first day when I sauntered into the school. I cried enough tears to float a SUV downriver. Since then I had never shed tears in my school except the tears of joy.The picture of those green buildings and the blue uniforms in my mind's eye, still makes me radiant.

The friendly and cooperative teachers were my backbone. I was fortunate to have such teachers who would elucidate the most difficult topics in the simplest manner. They corrected me wherever I went wrong. I am grateful to have such selfless and unconditional love and guidance which makes me the person that I am today. I will always try to better myself with these virtues and the priceless advises of my dear teachers. From a girl who was like a deer caught in the headlights, they have refined me and turned me to a much more focused and self-confident girl.

My Josephite journey could not have been so memorable without my angelic friends. They were literally like the painters who filled my school life with different shades of colors. I cannot forget the bliss I used to get by playing all kinds of quirky games with my friends under the blazing sun- be it "Color man" or "Lock and key", Badminton or " Goal-stop". On the fete day we used to come up with many innovative ideas and had a lot of fun in putting up stalls. Annual function enhanced all our artistic talents whereas the annual sports day came with the competitive spirit and the science exhibition gave us a chance to feel little scientists with all our creative inventions. As they say no rose without a thorn, I had some egregious classmates who always tried to put me in trouble. But they are the ones who made me strong enough to face the wicked world. Perhaps they were my best critics.

My Josephite journey is incomplete without talking about my dear principal, Sr.Sylvia. She has always motivated me with her noble words from the Bible. She taught me how to be a person with values and what one should really strive for in life. I cannot be more thankful to God for sending angels in the form of the Josephite family. The tag of being a true Josephite is a feather in my cap and I will always work hard to keep up my school name.
