The impact of a Role model can last a lifetime: Principal JKPS Kunjwani

STATE TIMES NEWS

JAMMU: “Role Model and Mentors inspire us to be better versions of ourselves, provide guidance in times of confusion, and offer valuable insight based on their own experience”. With these powerful quote, Shanaya of Grade VII Galaxy created the ripples in the placid waters during the morning assembly at JK Public School Kunjwani.
Elaborating further on the topic pitched in Jaanvi by saying, “Role models are individuals we look up to, admire, and aspire to emulate. They can be anyone – a family member, a teacher, a public figure, or even a friend. What makes them special is their ability to inspire us through their actions, values, and achievements. They show us what is possible and motivate us to strive for our best”.
“For instance, consider someone like Malala Yousafzai, who, despite facing immense adversity, stood up for girls’ education and became a global symbol of courage and resilience. Her story teaches us the power of standing up for what we believe in, no matter the obstacles”, she added.
Another promising student Agransh reflected further, “On the other hand, mentors play a more direct and personal role in our development. They provide guidance, support, and wisdom based on their own experiences. A mentor is someone who takes the time to understand our goals and challenges, offering advice and encouragement to help us navigate our paths”.
Summing up the topic, Shanaya stated, “Both role models and mentors are crucial in shaping who we are and who we aspire to be. They provide us with the inspiration and guidance needed to overcome challenges and achieve our dreams. So, let’s take a moment to appreciate the role models and mentors in our lives and strive to be positive influences for others as well”.
Poetry being a powerful tool, some poetic interpolations were made by the budding poet from the class Prabhav:
In life’s vast journey, winding and long,
We seek the wise, the steady, the strong.
A mentor’s voice, a guiding star,
Shows us the way to who we are.
Through trials faced, their lessons shine
Their wisdom gently shapes the line,
With every fall, they’re there to guide,
And help us find the strength inside.
Long after their words fade away,
Their influence in our hearts will stay.
For in each step, their light remains,
A part of us, through joys and pains.
Principal JKPS Kunjwani Rajesh Rathore applauded students for enthusing the audience with their substantial views on the topic. Sharing his perspective on the theme, he said, “Role models have a profound impact on individuals, shaping their values, behavior, and aspirations.
They inspire people by setting a standard for what can be achieved, motivating individuals to pursue their goals and dreams. Having observed the actions and attitudes of role models, we feel encouraged to develop positive habits, work ethic, and a sense of responsibility”.
“Role models offer a clear sense of direction, helping people to identify their own goals and find purpose in their pursuits, whether personal or professional.
Their milestones teach people how to deal with failure, stress, and setbacks in a constructive way. The impact of a role model can last a lifetime, influencing decisions, career paths, and personal development far beyond the initial inspiration”, he added.
“In essence, role models, like, Arunima Sinha, who conquered Mt. Everest with her prosthetic legs; Dashrath Manjhi, who cut open a passage in the chest of a mountain single-handedly in 26 years; Commander Abhilash Tommy, who successfully attempted the Solo circum-navigation of the Globe; Archer Sheetal Devi, who became world’s first archer to compete internationally without arms and innumerable other examples, act as powerful examples of success, character, and perseverance, guiding us toward self-improvement and fulfillment”, he concluded .
