🌍 World Population Day 2025 – A Day to Reflect and Raise Awareness

-



On 11 July 2025, our college – Fathima Memorial Training College, Mylapore, Kollam – observed World Population Day with our NSS Unit (KL-07-178) leading the way. As an active NSS volunteer, I felt proud to be part of a program that went beyond just celebration — it truly made us think.


The day began with a warm gathering in the Seminar Hall, beautifully decorated and buzzing with energy. A thought-provoking quiz competition tested our knowledge about population trends, global statistics, and their effects on society. It wasn’t just a test of facts, but a reminder of how little we often think about such a crucial issue.


The debate session that followed was my personal favorite. Students passionately discussed overpopulation, its impact on the environment, and the need for better awareness and policies. Their arguments were sharp, respectful, and deeply insightful.


It was inspiring to see how events like these can spark conversations and encourage responsibility. The NSS motto, “Not Me, But You,” truly echoed in every activity.


World Population Day 2025 reminded me that change begins with awareness — and as students, we hold the power to shape a better, balanced future.

Date: July 14 – July 17, 2025 “Teaching is the one profession that creates all other professions.” The first week of my teaching practice was a journey of discovery, challenges, and small victories. As part of the B.Ed. curriculum, I, along with my friends Aleena and Aiswarya from the English Department of Fathima Memorial Training College, Mylapore, began our internship at Government HSS Anchalummood on July 14, 2025. The atmosphere of the school was very welcoming, and the staff were supportive. This week, we actively participated in various duties including substitution classes, classroom management, lunch serving, and even took on the role of judges for an extempore competition. One of the highlights of my teaching this week was taking Class 8F for the poem “The Seven Ages of Man” by William Shakespeare. While handling the class came with its fair share of challenges, especially in managing discipline, it was a great learning curve. A memorable moment was when we worked together to...

WEEKLY REFLECTION SIXTH WEEK (FIRST PHASE)

The past week of my teaching practice (Days 21–25) was both engaging and rewarding. On Day 21, after the Onam vacation, I taught Articles through the Concept Attainment Model, where students actively discovered rules through examples and non-examples. The following days (22–25) were dedicated to the inspiring chapter The Day My World Changed by Malala Yousafzai, taught using ICT. Each day, I carried the chapter forward step by step, making use of PowerPoint slides, visuals, and activity cards to bring Malala’s story to life. Students were highly motivated, sharing their thoughts on education and courage, which made the lessons more meaningful. I also had varied experiences beyond the classroom, like serving the midday meal, handling substitution hours, and managing double-period sessions. These days taught me the importance of pacing, balancing ICT with interaction, and sustaining student interest. Overall, this phase deepened my confidence as a teacher-in-training.
