CONGRATULATIONS TO VINEET AND ALL OF US !!!

Vin's exams went on for a month and he was allowed to sit in a seperate room with his writer and an Invigilator from different schools.Most of the papers were good and easy and if I had to give those exams a second time ,I would have done a better job than I did some twentyfive years back!! LOL!
VINEET WITH HIS DADI AND HIS WRITER ON THE LAST DAY OF EXAMS


So days passed by and finally the last day of the exams came. It was also the last day the boys would meet each other . I had some momentos for these precious classmates of Vin and we took lots of fotos for the memories....














So on 15th May 2016, Friday, the much awaited Class 10 Board Results were published. Vineet and us were a nervous wreck since morning and so was his writer for the exams! So Vineet passed in the First Division with an average of 68 percent in a total of 10 papers!! YAY!!!



(A small note- his marks in the 'Arts' papers were better than the 'Science' ones.So he's an Arts student.)

But since the Arts stream was in a school located far from home, Vineet is currently studying in the Commerce stream which he abhors :/ Lets see where he's headed...

 Here's a link to my Fb post on his results -

Vineet, Math and Academics

This is an important post which I had started drafting some time back. But I have to respect Vineet's wishes and not relate this topic entirely to his situation. So this is going to be a general topic mostly and I hope it helps you who are having similar situations, especially people in Eastern India.

So, as the story goes, Vineet was doing mediocre in his mainstream  school until middle school. Only when he went to high school did we realise that his handwriting had turned illegible and he was also having problems with arithmetic part of mathematics. I now understand that both are problems related to spina bifida. I was supposed to take him to "Manovikas Kendra "  in Kolkata for his evaluation, but unfortunately we couldn't do it for time constraints  (which is a bad excuse I guess...) :/

Fast forward to today. Vineet is going to appear for his class 10 board exams from Monday, and he has gotten himself a writer. Math is still a problem but he is concentrating on the algebra and has worked hard on arithmetic too. Geometry is still a problem though...

So here's a small request for you dear friends, kindly keep Vineet in your prayers as he goes for his board exams from Monday. It will go on for a month till 28th March. Please pray that he may get back his self confidence with the results later this year....

Thankyou so much!
