Another milestone ! Vineet passed his Class 12 Board exams!

So now in the month of February, 15th February to be precise, Vineet's Secondary School Board exams were scheduled. He had a total of 7 subjects to appear for and he needed to pass in 4 of them apart from English Language and Literature which were compulsory.

Like before ( during his Class 10 Board exams), he was provided with a writer from a lower class. We waited for his results patiently for about one and a half months and on     May, the results were declared. Vineet had managed to pass! It was a great feat as this result was all his own hard work. Vineet is an intelligent boy, but has problems coordinating his learnt studies into answers for an exam. Orally he has no problems, but it's tough for him to construct and write an answer for exams in the way it is wanted/required. Nevertheless, we as his parents and Vineet too was happy that he had passed. Just passed.

Now came the important decision to be made- whether he would continue with college or not. Vin had already decided that he would not pursue studies anymore and concentrate on his music classes. So I enrolled him for his keyboard and guitar classes nearby.

Some well-wishers suggested long distance education for Vin as it would enable him to have a college degree as well as his health would not be affected by regular college. So we are thinking of going ahead with this .

So that's the latest happening in Vin's life . Thank you all for being such an important part of Vineet's journey.🙏

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!
