They were presented certificates in the school assembly by the Principal JKPS Kunjwani Rajesh Rathore.
These certificates mark a significant milestone in the academic journey of the students, symbolizing their dedication, hard work, and commitment to excellence.
The Principal appreciated the students for their impressive hand writing, neatness, presentation under the guidance of their teachers.
He consoled those handfuls, who are still struggling to polish their hand writing. He counselled them to start afresh and make sincere efforts, while using four-line notebooks to acquire the requisite strokes and a neat presentation.
“Handwriting is the index of one’s personality. The mannerism in which students frame their words on a page showcases the state of their mind. For instance, the chaotic handwriting along with an array of errors gives us an impression of someone being in the confused state of mind; whereas, on the contrary, ‘pearls-on-paper’ handwriting is a synonym of a well-groomed, systematic and a disciplined individual”, reflected the Principal.
Quoting the reflections of a renowned hand writing expert, he said, “Even considering the scientific perspective, the importance of good handwriting stands unique. When it comes to defining the term handwriting, we can say that the impulses from the brain, travel all the way through to the hand and the fingers, to allow the conversion of thoughts into a readable composition of words. It is a complex process involving the precise coordination of the brain and the hand. Thus, good handwriting is an indicator of excellent mind and motor coordination”.
Citing the reasons, why an individual should strive to acquire presentable hand writing, he said, “Good handwriting skills lead to stronger academic performance. It boosts the confidence level of an individual. It is essential in day-today life, for example, quick note- taking in the classroom, writing a birthday card/ slam book/ autograph book etc, taking down a phone message, jotting down a shopping list, completing bank/railway station/hotel checking in/out formalities etc etc. Although the scientific advancement has dramatically impacted the age-old perception of people across the globe, yet the skill of handwriting shall ever hold paramount importance in education, employment and in everyday life”.
