I am a science teacher in a government school. My students come from #diverse backgrounds. #Mathematics is a subject that many students find very #challenging. Some of my students believe in studying in groups. They also do heart-to-heart discussions for dealing with personal problems. Students belonging to a particular group have good #bonding.
I observe that each member of the group is very serious about #mathematics problems, and they are very particular about #numerical problems of Physics and Chemistry. While teaching physics and chemistry always tell my students to take care of #units of quantity one is handling while doing #numericals.
Sita and Gita were also members of the #inner circle of the study group of students. Some students used to face many difficulties while handling maths problems. Gita used to approach me. Whenever possible, I will give #personal attention to Gita to solve her mathematics problems. Gita was finding it difficult to cope in a group, especially while handling #mathematics problems. But to my surprise, I found that #Sita every day will come half an hour early to school to teach difficult problems of mathematics to her #best friend Gita.
I found that, slowly, Gita was picking up the difficult problems of mathematics. In my heart, I thanked #Sita for doing wonderful help to her #friend Gita. In class, I said, "Look, students, one should have #friend like Sita. Sita is helping Gita in every possible way so that she can cross the threshold of # mathematics' difficult problems. "
Sita said, "Madam, myself Gita and we are best friends. We both share jokes, personal problems, and the #challenging situation of our lives with each other. Now my friend is in deep #problems because of less mathematics training. Therefore, it is my #moral duty to help out Gita in every possible way. I was so happy with Sita's #maturity level. Other students in class got an important #message from the kind doing of Sita for her friend Gita. One student said, "Madam, this is an example of true friendship. "
