ReplyDeleteSorry for sending the feedback mail a bit late...I was not well so missed checking the mails for a few days.
As you rightly said being from the first batch we could experience the ASAP life a bit more than the freshers. I completed my 180 hours at Payolli GHSS last year. This year I got Vagayad GVHSS where I took classes for 30 hours only as we got all the facilities for taking the class with some delay.
Feedback: I got a very good feeling after completing the 180 hours ASAP training in IT and Communicative English modules last year at Payyoli GVHSS for these reasons:
1. There was a very good team interaction and attachment between the students while doing all the exercises....They could forge very strong bonds of friendship and their confidence levels improved a lot.
2. There was a positive energy in all of them and a very good goal orientation. It was like they had found a purpose in life.
3. They felt that the world was becoming more friendly to them after attending ASAP classes as they could find a space where their ideas and utterances had a value and importance. The bitterness in many children towards their own schools and surroundings vanished. In fact I found it a bit hard to get them understand that I was like any other teacher or trainer who was just doing his duty. They simply couldn't understand why all their classes in school were not like ASAP.
Thank you ASAP for giving me an opportunity of a life time...I will cherish it forever.
...with regards
