Guiding teenagers, particularly those in Class 10, is crucial as they stand at a pivotal crossroads in their educational and personal development. Effective guidance helps students navigate these challenges, make informed decisions, and develop essential life skills.
On 15th October 2024, Ms. Salony Priya, Director of Ummeed Consultancy and Counseling Services, conducted an enlightening session at St. Karen's Secondary School for Grade 10 students, titled "Millennium Smart Teen." The session focused on self-improvement strategies and the responsible use of technology in education.
Ms. Priya emphasized the importance of avoiding the misuse of gadgets under the pretext of studying. She encouraged students to learn multiple languages to enhance their career prospects. Additionally, she highlighted the significance of maintaining a structured routine to improve efficiency.
In her discussion, Ms. Priya advocated for engaging in intellectually stimulating games instead of time-wasting shooting games. She stressed the importance of consistent schooling, noting that many colleges require genuine academic records. While academic performance is crucial, she also underscored the development of social, emotional, and life skills as essential components for long-term success.
For students aspiring to study abroad, Ms. Priya advised them to focus on life skill development and gather comprehensive information about their desired fields. This knowledge will empower them to stand firm against any parental opposition they may encounter. She also shared various career options and inspired the students to remain resilient in the face of setbacks, assuring them that confidence and persistence are key to achieving their goals.
