Does The Type Of School Realy Matter?

Does type of School Really Matter?

When i was talking to one of my friends Keerthi, I got this question in my mind..

As I have already updated in this blog, I and Keerthi will have almost 70%, same types of feeling and views on different things..

We both got bored of regular work, she had called me to have a walk for 10 minutes..

At that time she was telling, what we are going to achieve by doing this regular work ( I was also in the same mood..)

Then I told her, what do you want to do then?

She told that some creative work... But she wants money to live as interested which is not possible at present
by doing something creative activities which she wanted to...

Then she told, If i could have studied in some good school like so many young writers, i could have got more vocabulary so that I can write more.. I know that she is interested in writing...

But What I thought at that moment was, "Does school really matter in this regard?"

She has studied in good environment and good school if i compare to myself ( I dint tell this to her...)

I have studied completely in Tamil Medium till 12th standard and "English language" was the only subject which i studied in English, and i used to memorize it for exam purpose, never understood anything...

In college, subject was Computer Science and there was no option to take Tamil Medium, So I studied in English Medium..

At that time only i started comparing the sentence relationship between Tamil and English, I started to understand and write exams in my own words.. You Know what, Always I used to be so much proud and happy if I make one nice sentence with grammar..

In all the interviews, I used to fail in second or third rounds where more communication skills are involved..

Then I started realizing, talking is much more difficult if you are able to write and read also...

We made a group in our hostel and started preparing for group discussions.. Every day from 7 PM to 7.30 PM, one person has to talk about some topic in English, and others have to ask question... Generally we will take some topic in Hindu newspaper and we used to discuss about it.. It went very well.. ( We did not have anybody to guide us to do all these... It was with our own experience...)

 After exactly two months i went for the second round in a recruitment camp, I got the topic as "Mercy Killing" for group discussion, to my surprise i did not feel any hesitation to talk... I got selected and now
working in the same organization.. Now I know that everything is possible if you try little more hard..

Till now i am learning English vocabulary and Grammar every day... Till now I understand that I will be lacking in basic words when i talk to a person who doesn't know Tamil or south Indian Languages.. At that time I will not give up and I will try to explain that maximum I can... I will feel very proud of me if they are able to understand...

So As per my knowledge, type of school is not having any influence with what we are going to be...

I love to learn a different language always, where my childhood or school is not having any impact on that...

Its a different thought i had because of Keerthi's talk..

Sometimes even I do feel to run away somewhere if I talk to some English talking people with totally different accent.. But I don't like to regret with the past life, because we cannot change it..

I agree that more vocabulary is required to be a writer, but it is possible to do if we try to learn..

Simply to share my views...

Be happy always :-)

Vaanadhi..
