My son Gaurav is studying in Class 9L in Newton campus of Oakridge International school. With great joy, I want to mention the progress that he has made after going to this school.
Level of empathy that my son has learnt here makes me feel so proud. One night, he was sick and had severe cold, cough and temperature, I slept next to him to take care of him. The next morning, he apologised to have kept me awake because of continuous coughing. I was surprised that he thought so much about me and keeping me awake while he was still so sick. Every parent does this for her child but not every child realises how much the parents do. This was just a very small incident that made me realise that in todays world where everyone is so busy, my child has stopped and given a thought about what I did for him.
He has also become very caring towards his peers. He goes out of his way to extend his help and bring out the best in them. His friend Bhuvan who was with him in Sharavati Adventure Camp was very frightened to swim and participate in water sports. With Gauravs support, he overcame his fear for swimming and not only did he learn swimming but excelled in the sport.
I am glad that my choice of school is perfect to make him a gentleman!
