Mentoring Siraa has been one of the most enriching parts of my journey. She’s a little bundle of energy, creativity, and laughter, always eager to learn and never afraid of challenges. From the moment she read her favourite Sudha Murthy story during our first meeting, I knew she was special. Over the months, she has grown beautifully—thinking deeply, expressing confidently, and embracing every new activity with joy. Hearing her say she looks forward to our sessions reminds me why I started The Write Compass. Children like her fill my days with purpose, learning, and so much happiness.

This Republic Day, we encouraged the children to think beyond their usual textbook lessons. Instead of simply memorising dates, we explored what it truly means to be a Republic and how the Constitution helps us in our everyday lives. Through simple discussions and reflective activities on safety, good habits, kindness, and responsibility, the children linked national values to their own little worlds at home and in the classroom.

Their reflections were innocent, sincere, and thoughtful. Moments like these remind us that nurturing good citizenship begins early, and even a small reflective activity can plant the seeds in them.
