I am delighted to share my personal diary of my teenage interspersed with our 25 year old ‘Diary of Dreams’ at Ullas Trust work with over 1.7 million high school students.
We were searching for a good book for high school students with Indian background which can be easy read with some structured inspiration but did not find one. After lots of persuasion, I could find time to start writing this book with the help of Manju and Padmini. I sent it alongwith Diwali Gift to few friends. They loved the book which encouraged me to publish this book in this post.
The book got developed around power of 5 capacities of teenage mind ie Imagination, Learning, Doing, being effective, being Influencing. In last 25 years, Ullas volunteers help student from 9th grade to write their dream and their role model in a small diary – ‘Diary of Dreams(DOD)’. This process is done in form of DOD workshop facilitated by Polaris, Intellect and Mission Samriddhi volunteers in over 85 districts across India. The book is an outcome of our deep experiences of working with 1.7 million kids.
I am dedicating this book on this Diwali to bring out light of hope, dreams and aspirations to Teenager.
From Teenager to Achiever
