Chapter 5: First Cry

#Lesson learnt
I am studious in school even though my mom and dad added me in a special hours class to spend time where I used to learn the things thought in the morning. Once after class when special class started everyone had their tuition notebook with homework completed. I have not bought a separate tuition notebook for two days even though the teacher insisted me.

I told my teacher that yesterday I forgot to buy a notebook. After hearing this the teacher said "How many times should I tell you, Now what will you do without a note, Go stand outside!!", with a hit at my hand with a stick before 20 students.

I felt so pain also so ashamed since I'm the one to stand out. In fact, started to cry till my dad came to pick me. My dad saw me I was so crying took me home. The next day I happened to get fever due to this incident. I took this incident in a positive note after that not only studies but also in punctuality and submitting my homework at the right time.

Let me share a fun moment too. Once my teacher asked me what I have for lunch. I said something like 'GolMol Dosa'. Everyone out there first laughed and they call my brothers and asked from them they got clarity that I said 'Kodhumai Mavu Dosa'. Yes, a little bit embarrassing moment because I had a little speech problem.

Speech Problem? Did I overcome it?

Chapter 4: Start of School

As a kid, I had one thing in mind we had been put into a school lets do our best in studies so that I could be unique and get praised. In LKG I used to recite rhymes teacher used to appreciate me for it. I liked it. Being a third child at home, It is always a little hard to get appreciated because at home whatever I do remain normal to everyone at whatever effort I put because I had to compete with my skills with a 2year elder and 4year elder brother.  With all this in UKG, I got the third rank . Hurray ... My first certificate was given to me still I have it. A proud moment to say to my parents that I am good at the education they provide me. In school still, I remember the teacher used to ...

Chapter 6: Speech Problem

#Speech Problem: I had a speech problem that I used to pronounce a Tamil letter 'தா' as 'டா'.  This made me pronounce the language name itself wrongly, instead of 'தமிழ்' I used to say as 'டமிழ்'. I had to face criticism starting from home even my brothers would tease me for this also sometimes in school my classmates say that I couldn't get what I speak. Already my voice is base voice in this if I happened to collapse pronunciation it made the next person to get confused with I wanted to communicate. To overcome this it issue, I myself sometimes speak in front of the mirror and corrected a little. When I'm with a group of people I had happened to commit the same error again.  "A thorn can only be removed with another thorn", for speech problem speaking is the only cure. I had this in mind and it made me stand up voluntarily whenever the teacher asks someone to read a page on the textbook in-class hours. I had wanted to reach higher and...
