Teaching Parade and Orientation Talk

The 30th day of my internship began with an early morning preparation for the NCC cadets' parade. The task at hand was daunting, considering the precision and discipline that a parade demands.

The parade, however, went off without a hitch. It was a moment of immense pride as I watched the cadets march in perfect synchronization. The sense of accomplishment I felt was indescribable, knowing that I had played a role in their growth and development.

Following the parade, I had the privilege of delivering an orientation talk to the NCC cadets. This was a chance to inspire and motivate them, and I shared my own journey as a student teacher, emphasizing the importance of discipline, determination, and dedication in their academic and personal lives. It was heartening to see their eager faces, and I hope that my words left a lasting impact on their young minds.
