My School
Ekya is my school
We go to school by carpool
First, we go to preschool
Where we use materials as tools
So that we can learn things soon
I play, dance, paint and come back afternoon
My teachers treat each one as special one
Once we do things independently
Then we go to primary school
Where we have so many rules
My teachers are good
Because of corona I saw my teachers in Zoom
We attend classes in room
If we are naughty my teacher put us in waiting room
We meet our friends in Breakout room
I hope I will be back to my school soon

"Failing to prepare….you’re preparing to fail”
By making a study timetable, you will be preparing for success in your studies. Using a study timetable also enables you to visualize what you’ve got in your schedule for the day and across the week. Most importantly, preparing a study timetable will ensure that you don’t forget any upcoming exams or assessments. Doing well on an exam involves preparation, which means developing a schedule so that you can study material over time rather than the night before an exam. How can students put all those effective strategies together to develop a coherent study plan? Make a study schedule!A study plan is an effective way to help you navigate through your education, and hold you accountable for your own learning outcomes.
Planning a Better Study Schedule
When assessing your current schedule you should:
Tip 4: Plan enough time to study each subject depending on your priority list- Prepare a priority list based on how comfortable you are with the content in a particular subject. The content of the subject that you are not familiar with should be number 1 on your priority list.
Tip 5: Study at a set time and in a consistent place - Establishing habits of study is extremely important. Knowing what and when you are going to study saves a lot of time in making decisions and retracing your steps to get the necessary materials, etc. Avoid generalizations in your schedule, such as "study chemistry" at certain regular hours. Instead, plan to "complete ten equations" or "read and take notes on chapter 6 for Chemistry." Treat your study time as you would a class: don’t miss it unless you’re sick, have a family emergency, etc. It should be a permanent part of your daily routine.
Tip 6: Study soon after your class - Time spent soon after a class, while it is still fresh in your mind, will help retain the content longer. By doing this, it will be easier to transfer memory from short-term to long-term.
Tip 7: Limit your study time to no more than 2 hours at a time - after 1-2 hours of study, you begin to tire easily and lose concentration. Taking a break and switching to another course will provide the change you require.
Tip 8: Trade time… Don’t steal it - When any unexpected event arises and clashes with the time you had allotted for studying, immediately decide where you can find time to study the same and put it on your schedule.
Tip 9: Make notes - write short phrases, annotations, etc. that help you remember the content with ease and recall faster.

Imagine having a hard stressful day at the office and coming home to beautiful eyes and exciting jumps. The whole day’s stress just melts off when your pets rest their head in your laps because for them the sight of you is their whole world. This sounds so wholesome and perfect but being a pet parent, you know that you are their whole life and for them, everything revolves around you and your happiness. As adults, if we are so overjoyed at the sight of our pets, imagine the positive effect they can have on the children.
According to the research paper published by NCBI, childhood and adolescence are crucial life phases in their contribution to the quality of health, emotional well-being, learning, and behavior across the life span. Companion animals (including horses, dogs, cats, rabbits, and other living
beings) have the potential to promote healthy emotional youth development in many ways, as shown by research in Human-Animal Interactions (HAI). Pets are becoming an important family member nowadays and rightly so.
In addition to enhancing mood and improving the quality of health and emotional well-being, pets can help children learn about responsibility. Children can be entrusted with the tasks of taking care of their pet’s meals and hygiene. Moreover, children can learn trust and compassion from
their pets. According to the research done by Michigan University, children with pets grew up to be more empathetic and socially aware than children without any pets. Children can also find a non-judgemental, secret keeper and best friend in their pets who listen to their hardships without any judgments. This can prove beneficial for a child’s mental and physical well-being.
I want to conclude with a quote “Until one has loved an animal, a part of one’s soul remains unawakened.” Pets can enrich our lives with love, compassion, empathy and so much more. All the children in the world deserve a pet’s love and vice versa.
