CAS REFLECTION

It is said that no one is too old to learn and no one is too young to teach. On the 21th September, we a group of IBDP students helped impart knowledge. We spent our day teaching the drivers of our school. The drivers drive us back and forth every day. So we decided it was time we did something in return.  We wanted to make them more aware of their surroundings and its happenings.

Neha, a part of a literacy awareness project, had taken her precious time to come and speak to the drivers. The talk was followed by a session where we as Oakridge students taught the drivers. How to send an email, how to go Google and other basic requirements were taught along with how to type properly.

I cannot speak on behalf of the drivers but we thought it was fruitful. To quote a student “ we think we rocked it”. The drivers were eager and patient. However they had seemed to forget the basics.  It was quite interesting to see the enthusiasm and willingness the drivers had to learn.  Students were convinced that they were able to make an actual difference and hopefully at the end of the year, everyone around will be able to see a change. We were extremely grateful to be given the opportunity to start this program and we hope that our vision becomes a reality. On that day, we saw a glimpse of our vision of the future.
