A Peek into the Life of a Student Teacher

 This week we welcomed the newly selected college union. The inauguration was on 22nd March 2022. The special guests for the day were Abhilash Mohana of Mathrubhumi News and Aswath Lal, the actor who brought the character Antony Thadikaran to life in the movie Hridayam. The morning sessions included the official revealing of the union logo and name and the evening session was filled with cultural programs. Both the second-year and first-year students had programs and each one was better than the other. In the end, there was a semi-dance-off between the two batches.  Rest of the week we were busy with project topic finalization and camp report submissions.

 14th March 2022 - 18th March 2022 This week we had our 5-day camp. Due to COVID restrictions, it was non-residential but we made the most of our situation. We were divided into three groups and they were named after KPAC Lalitha's movies to honour her memory. They were, Pavithram, Keli and Amaram. I belonged to the Amaram group led by Sukanya and Albin Brother. On the first day, we had our inaugural ceremony followed by an ice-breaking session by Dr, Sibin Antony. It was fun and interactive. Group 1 had the complete responsibility to conduct the first-day program. On the second day, we had two classes. The first class was by Reni Antony Sir who enlightened us on the several laws for children. Later we had a class by Vijay Vikramadithyan sir, SI  and former student of MTTC. It focused on drug abuse which was infused with anecdotes from Vijay sir's police career. On the third day, we had a refreshing one day trip to Kuthiramalika and Veli. We were accompanied by Ancy ma'am a...

 7th March-11th March 2022 This week will be remembered as the week of our very first one day trip. Though we had classes from Monday to Thursday, Friday was the most important day of all. All of us with our beloved teachers including Maya ma'am, Ancy ma'am, Joju sir and Nadhanine sir had joined us for the trip. We began the trip at 7 am and came back at 11.30 pm. It was a well-planned trip. First, we visited the Padhmanabapuram Palace then we went to Kanyakumari. My favourite part of the trip was the sunset at the Kanyakumari beach followed by a stroll along the beach. No matter what, the sea has a magical power to lift your spirit. Few among us had managed to shoot a few Reel videos at Vivekananda Rock and beach.

2nd March 2022- 5th March 2022 I had to take a week-long leave from college due to a medical issue. But I'm back to college and ready for classes. But this week we had our international conference for three days which was held completely online. We had several distinguished speakers and paper presentation competitions with good participation from students from within and outside the college. It was conducted via Zoom and just as how an offline conference would work, the meeting was divided into several virtual rooms where each optional class was assigned for each room. Each session was assigned for each faculty and each faculty had a group of students to conduct the seminar. The whole program was well planned and executed without any time lag.
