What is your favorite subject and what do you like the most about that subject?

My favourite subjects are Computer, Science and Mathematics. Best thing about these subjects is that there are different practicals and projects in Science and different theorems and formulae for Mathematics. I like computers the most because a computer is a machine in which we can do different things like PPT, making word files and calculations. I use all of these tools in my study routine.

How has Gurushala helped you in your journey as a student?

It has been more than 1 year since I have been connected with Gurushala. Gurushala sends us very informative videos. They also conduct sessions, webinars and classes on different topics like computer programs, Gurushala English, Mathematics and Social Science sessions. They have also launched a Summer Champs series which is really fun and interesting. I have participated in all of them.

Gurushala has a section called Content Library in which we get to watch various videos on different topics of different subjects. Gurushala and our teacher send us videos on different topics from the content library. We watch those videos and get an in-depth understanding of all the concepts. I like the content library section the most. There are quizzes for students and competition sections also. I have solved multiple quizzes and taken part in competitions as well. I have also won prizes in competitions like Mega Project Competition, Christmas celebration, Young Scientist competition organized by Gurushala. I have also got certificates for them. I have also downloaded the Gurushala mobile application from the play store. Gurushala is a very nice and informative platform for teachers as well as students. I have learned a lot from it.

What is your best learning memory so far?

I still remember the moment when my teacher entered the classroom with a bunch of assessed test copies in his hand. As expected, everyone was nervous and anxious. All of the students started requesting, “Sir abhi mat dikhao, paper was very tough, we are going to fail.“ But sir was adamant about his decision to distribute the copies on that day only.

While I was sitting on the 3rd bench of the first row, closer to the door, quite excited and nervous at the same time, as my test went well, sir started calling names of students and reading marks for those students who scored above 20 out of 30. I can still hear my heart racing as my roll number was being announced. Finally, that moment arrived and I couldn’t believe my ears. Sir announced, “Roll number 4, Yashada Hajare, 30 out of 30 marks”. That was my happiest memory till date.

Apart from being a bright learner, Yashada also ensures to utilize every opportunity that comes her way. She likes to learn new things by watching videos and learning through games.
