On Saturday, we had three Cricket Matches - Girls of Sec A vs Girls of Sec B, and two matches between the boys of Sec A & Sec B - the finals of the boys match will be held on the coming Saturday. Mr B K Bhattacharya and Mr Param Shah were also there. The boys helped to coach the girls teams and the girls came out into the lawn early to learn from them. 80% of the girls had never played cricket before. The kids cheered all the teams, irrespective of the Sections they belonged to. After the match, all the girls were so happy and the glow on their faces cannot be expressed in words.
We had a party to celebrate the Cricket Match - in the Girls Hostel last night with everyone contributing for the eats and we danced till midnight. Before we started the celebrations, I asked them what were the learnings they had from the match. Here is what they shared with me:
This match has:
- developed team spirit
- shown them that they can do unknown things
- showcased their talents
- made them believe in themselves
- unearthed leadership qualities
- made them closer to each other
- taught them not to blame anyone - but to work as a team
- taught them that to learn anything new, they have to put the effort into it
- taught them time management
- taught them that they have to motivate themselves and others
- shown them that they can achieve anything together
- made them more disciplined
- taught them to stretch themselves towards a common goal
- shown them that dedication works
- proved that participation is as important as winning
- shown that they have a healthy competitive spirit
Three Cheers to the first batch at GBS Ahmedabad !!!
