Student Highlight - Isha's Journey

By Pallavi Menon | Associate, City Development

This is the story of Isha

2014: Joined Teach For India
2016: Selected to be a junior Aspen Fellow
2016: Created an award-winning awareness project for the Global Design Challenge
2017: Designed Odyssey a Fellowship for students to teach at the Sangam Vihar Learning Centre
2018: Selected as one of six children worldwide to serve on Teach For All’s Student Leader Advisory Council

This is what Isha had to say about her journey with TFI: 

“In 3rd standard, I got admission in a government school of Delhi. It seemed all dark to me, it was a Hindi medium classroom whose textbooks were not easy to understand. I had just one teacher who never taught us, 60 girls in a class, never thought of excellent education. For them, school was just a playground and a prison of five hours where the teacher used to beat them. I thought my life wouldn't have anything bright. But that experience made me tough enough and made me believe in: "If you want to shine like a sun, first burn like a sun."
After three years of struggle, I got into a Teach For India class and my life's gear changed there. I feel every person whom I met had made me better and what I am and I am very grateful to them. I feel from my heart's core that our voice matters a lot and we should use it to bring a revolution or change.
I expect that the Student Leader Advisory Council at Teach For All will be able to help me in improving my leadership qualities. It can make me courageous to raise my voice to bring education revolution because I need the support of people so that we all can bring the change so that the future gets better education. It can be done with the support of all the student leaders, and that means every kid. I say this because I feel that every leader may not be a student but each and every student is a leader.”
