Mr Fourth Quarter

Priyanshu Sharma

Hi, I am Priyanshu from A-211 and I am here to talk about my experience with Basketball.

Basketball is one of the most popular sports in the world with millions of people watching the NBA every year. It is also one of my favorite sports to watch and play. 5 players in each team try to score as many points as possible while the other team tries to stop them from doing so . A basketball match is 48 mins long divided into 4 quarters of 12 mins each and the players have to score on a hoop placed 10 FT high.

While I was playing football in 11th grade, The basketball teacher noticed that I was taller than the others playing football and he asked if I was interested in playing for the school team. When I started playing I was told that I will be playing as a substitute because the starters were already selected. I was selected to play the Small Forward position because when I joined i was known for my defensive ability and later after some practice, I became good at shooting as well. I usually play around 25 minutes out of the 48 minutes of a Basketball Match. I am also the best Three point shooter in my team now. My nickname while playing Basketball is "Mr Fourth Quarter" because of my ability to score multiple points in Tough situations. As a player, I averaged 18 points, 9 assists and 11 rebounds and our team in DPS is one of the best school teams in the State.

The role of friends in life

-
Rishabh Ranjan As we all know, friends are people who like to spend time with you, chat with you, and have fun. But, sometimes we just want to listen to ourselves and not to our friends. This results in arguments and many fights. We all need to know how important they are in life. Fight for you. Friends always hate when someone says bad things about you or hurts you. You also hate it when something happens to your friends. We all value our friends. Respect you. A true friend always lets you share your thoughts. They always want to know if you are well. They always like to play with you, whether it be sports on a sunny day or video on a rainy day. Ideal situation or bad, always stay together. We know that the current situation is a time of unity. Only real friends would like to still give you as much as they used to give. Enjoy their time with you. All friends have fun with you. They can relate to you, help you and love it! New friends or old, they treat you the same. A lot of peopl...

Vigyan Chakrabarti Interview with Jayshree dadi  What job did you do and why did you choose it? I had already taught my own children and I shifted to kindergarten teaching because I loved it What kind of relation did you have with your students and how did you deal with difficulty with concepts and exams? I used to teach LKG and since the children were just leaving the security of there parents I had to make them feel comfortable. Just because they were LKG children I could not take them lightly and that's why I used to go completely prepared about what concepts I was going to teach and what activities I wanted to conduct. Since they were small children it was difficult to get there attention therefore I had to dramatize the concepts as much as possible. We had been given a special training for that. Did you have any idea about what job you were going to do and did you have any childish thoughts about what job you were going to do? I was a housewife and I took up teaching because m...
