Notes by Akilan Senthil

Story:
You were sitting in a subway. It was peaceful and quiet. When you came to a stop, a dad and two children came in. The two kids were very loud and their dad came and sat down next to you. After some time you ask the man, “Sir, your kids are very loud and disturbing. Can you please quiet them down?” He replied, “I have just come back from the veterinary hospital. My dog died and they don’t know how to handle it now.” The people started giving them candy and entertaining them.

Lesson: You shouldn’t judge anyone.

RAW: Spend 5 minutes each day with your favorite person. Get to know yourself.

Review

There was a boy who saw a shiny apple. He wanted it so much. While the shopkeeper was distracted, he stole it. Later he saw old person who was needed food so he gave the apple to the older person then told the shop keeper that he stole it. The shopkeeper forgave the boy and helped the the old person you should learn not to lie and if you do tell the truth So it doesn’t accidentally hurt somebody or somebody’s feelings, reflection, adventure of the week to put something in the gratitude jar every day and also make a list of needs and wants

Story

You were on a train and it was quiet and there were some people sleeping, reading, listening to music with headphones, and looking out the window. Until the next few stops a few little kids and an absent minded dad. Then the train car wasn’t quiet anymore; it was crazy. The kids were throwing anything they could get there there hands on, screaming, stomping, and crazy other stuff. And the dad was just sitting there right next to you and you asked him in a polite voice. Can you do something so your kids aren’t disturbing? The other people you asked the dad didn’t answer till he realized what you were saying. Then he said sorry I’m not really paying attention today. We just lost our dog today and then everybody in the bus heard him. They gave the candy to the kids and they finally calmed down. They realized why they were so sad how they didn’t know how to react and the dad why the dad wasn’t doing anything then  they finished the bus ride and left.

Lesson

You shouldn’t assume assuming is bad. People assumed that he was a bad dad. The kids were crazy. They didn’t know why they were acting that way till the person asked them when they realized they became kinder and they weren’t as mean

Activity

Dwija didi told us that a lot of people is you about other people. Sometimes they assume about other people and they don’t know about you. So most of the time. What they theyusually assume Is wrong and when you assume most the time it’s wrong and if they can’t understand us we have to understand ourselves before we can understand others

Reflection Adventure of the Week 

To sit still for five minutes with yourself  by yourself with no electronics, books, and any other thing that can distract you.
