An interactive session on self-awareness was conducted by the School Counsellor, Ms. Anita on October 18, 2023. The concept of self-awareness delves into the mysterious entity within us, which governs our lives. Despite leading our own lives, understanding the nature of this 'self' remains a lifelong challenge. The counsellor emphasised the significance of self-awareness in determining our happiness and success.

Self-awareness, she explained, involves the ability to objectively perceive oneself in various situations. Just as a history graduate understands the efforts they put into their studies, we should strive to comprehend ourselves through every experience. This awareness helps us evaluate our actions and reactions, enabling personal growth and development.

It was further stressed that self-awareness isn't about letting others define us. It's about understanding our strengths and weaknesses independent of external opinions. By being introspective, we can recognise our flaws and work towards self-improvement. This process, she suggested, leads to a more fulfilling and content life.

In the session, students were encouraged to engage in introspection through a series of thought-provoking questions. Additionally, they were assigned an activity that required them to identify and write down three physical, inner, and social characteristics that define themselves. This exercise aimed to foster a deeper understanding of their own unique identities and encourage self-reflection.
