We are working to get the videos from the Leaders project from both schools up on the blog as soon as possible, but to tide you over we thought that we would post a small selection of some of our student’s writing. Here are two selections from each school for two different assignments:

Assignment: If you, as a young woman, had the power to change one thing what would it be and why?

Ramya, C. Ramchand Girls High School
If I have a power I will like to change my village. In my village we don’t have a school so village children have to go and work. I will start a school for our village children. So everyone will become literate. I will provide midday meals. I will teach them and clean them in our school. I will also conduct awareness camps about various diseases and their causes. I will provide computer training, a library, drawing lessons and sports. I will also make people to live happily loving one another and respect different religions.

Sameer Ahmed, A.P. Residential Boys School
If I had power to change something it would be my district. My district name is Mahaboob Nagar. IN my district there are more than 50 villages. In some villages there are no roads to go to the villages. So I will lay the roads in the villages in my district. Mainly in my district there are no more houses to live for poor people. So for them I will build the flat to live poor people without any problems. There are not any kinds of rents for them.

Assignment: Write a letter to your political leader (chief minister, prime minister, etc) sharing with them something that you wish that they knew about your life.

Chandana, C. Ramchand Girls High School
To the Chief Minister
Respected Sir,
Ours is a large family for the last 15 years we are staying in a rented house. My father works as a laborer and my mother is a maidservant. My parent’s monthly income is Rs. 2500. Rs. 1000 we have to pay rent for the owner from the remaining amount we should buy provisions and pay fees in our school. So I request C.M. to allot a home for us under Rajeev Gruha Kaliana scheme. If he provide us one home we will be very happy and thankful.

Thank you in anticipation,
Chandana
