Hello, I am Biswajit Manna. Currently, I am doing the Foundation Course at Prerana Education Center. First of all, I would like to thank the authorities of Prerana Education Center for giving us such an opportunity, through which we are benefiting a lot from this Life Skills training. It was a three-day Life Skills session. I learned many things and gained a lot of new knowledge. The part I liked the most was about emotions. From problem solving to emotional understanding, everything was taught very beautifully. Until now, we believed that if any emotion feels bad, we should remove it or finish it. But here we learned that every emotion is important in our life — we just need to manage it properly and keep it under control. Everything has a role in our life. This was a very valuable lesson for me. Apart from this, we learned some exercises. For example, there were fun English-song-based exercises like ‘hands up, hands down,’ which ma’am taught us with music. I realised that these exercises not only help our body but also bring a sense of happiness to our mind. I really enjoyed that. We also learned about SMART goals — what SMART goals are, what the full form of SMART is, and how to create goals that are realistic. We understood that while planning for our dreams or aims, we should think of something that is achievable in real life, not something impossible. Along with that, time management is also an important part of achieving goals. These were the key learnings from the session.
