“ I can do all things through Him who strengthens me” – Philippians 4 : 13
Keeping this thought in mind and with confidence in our Lord and Saviour, I pen this message for the school magazine.
As we impart education to our students, to match the advancement in technology and globalization, we march them
ahead with the ethos and values of the Somerville Schools.
May this magazine, unfold their creativity and give life to their thoughts and imaginations. Mark Twain rightly said,
“Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do, than by the ones you did do. So
throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore, dream and
discover”.
In this, both teachers and parents play a vital role. Teachers have an important professional perspective, while parents
have a passionate parental perspective. Both have to listen to each other. When we love and believe in something, from
the bottom of our soul, we feel strong with a certainty that nothing can conquer our faith. This strange force makes us
take the right decisions at the right time, and surprises us at our own capacity, when we fulfill our objectives. May we
never lose our enthusiasm at any moment, it is our greatest strength. We cannot let it slip through our fingers, if we are
confronted with some small and necessary defeat.
While I write this message, students are confined to their homes and parents are grappling at keeping their children
productive at home. With schools closed for an extended duration, came the reality of online teaching, no longer a
buzzword or a fancy edtech term. The readiness of the school for this is critical and this school has done a marvellous job
in this journey. My heartiest congratulations!
All my best wishes to the Principal, Staff and students for a great and truly blessed year ahead.
Mary George
President, Lott Carey Baptist Mission
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore, will not we fear,
though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
Psalm 46. Vs 1- 2
Dear All,
‘Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood more, so that we may fear less’ because ‘A life lived in fear
is a life half lived.’
These are two have spoken to me in these very challenging times and therefore I know that it will fill more hearts with
courage wrapped in gratitude. As many families are struggling during these troubled and difficult times, we remember
each one of them in our prayers and pray for healing on this nation. We have, unprecedentedly, gotten time to spend
with our families and must therefore use this time wisely and effectively. Spend fruitful time with our children, work
on ourselves, improve ourselves, call and speak to the people you haven’t talked to in a long time,check up on 5 people
on your caller list daily, reach out and just be.
Inevitably, the world as we know it has changed and change is probably the only constant and the NEW NORMAL.
Over the last year and a half, the school management has tried to kept itself energized, by motivating one another and
fruitfully using this time to innovate with new technology teaching and helping foster an environment of learning in
each home, as is possible given all circumstances. And it is this very same technology that, I believe, has been used to
exhibit the creativity of the young minds that have been nurtured at Somerville School, Block H, Sector Alpha II,
Greater Noida, U.P.
My heartfelt congratulations to the Principal, staff and students, in this endeavour of releasing the
………. Edition of the School Magazine, ………….
Until we connect again, stay safe, stay well.

‘I can do all things through ‘Christ who strengthens me.
Philippians 4:13
Greetings to the Principals, Staff, Students and Parents of Somerville Schools!
The year 2020-21 will be remembered by all of us for being a year of unprecedented challenges. The nation promised that it would comply
with instructions and follow the norms of social distancing, wearing of masks and stepping out only for emergencies. Hospital and health
workers got ready for what was to be the worst pandemic in modern times.
Schools were to remain closed till further notice. Online classes were to commence as soon as possible. ‘Online Classes’, the very term
was daunting for School Managements and teaching staff, parents and students. Somerville Schools got into action, consulted with IT
professionals, got their Computer Departments to begin working immediately on the modalities. But, was every teacher capable of
delivering online classes? Did each teacher have a smart phone or laptop? Did every student have devices to enable them to attend these
classes? How was it all going to work? These doubts had to be cleared. At first it looked like a steep mountain to be climbed, but it had to
be done and it had to function smoothly.
The great Benjamin Disraeli said, “There is no education like adversity.”
How right he was! The challenge was accepted. The classes began. There was a lot of hand-holding as many teachers learnt from their
colleagues what this new way of teaching was all about. Collaboration and Commitment made the process work. For this, I must thank
and congratulate all our Principals and teachers for their good work and admirable efforts to ensure that classes went on, in spite of it all.
Think about it. Not only was the staff doing something new, their domestic situations were extremely stressful. Jobs had been lost,
husbands and wives were working from home, children were also at home and needed to be supervised. To add to it, multiple devices were
needed in a single home for work and study. The first two months were particularly taxing as there were shortages of essential items and
lack of domestic help. Another grave problem was connectivity as everything depended upon the internet which was overloaded as lakhs
of people and especially students depended upon internet connectivity to do their jobs or attend classes. But our staff, students and parents
rose above it all and showed that it could be done, for nothing is impossible if we tell ourselves that we can do it and do it well.
We thank God for being with us all through these trying times. He guided us, made us strong, blessed us and helped us to find the way
forward in spite of the many big and small problems that we had to deal with on a daily basis. Remember, it is not over as there is still
much to be achieved. We ask for your continued cooperation as we must work together to be successful in all our endeavours. Please say a
prayer for normalcy to return soon. Be careful, stay well and stay safe.
Chairperson and Director Somerville Schools
Mrs. D A Tressler
“Knowing that you’re not alone really does make all the difference in the world.”
― Normani Hamilton
While we all reel under the aftermath of an unprecedented crisis, we are given to believe that ‘No man is an island’. We
all need each other to lean on. There has not been a single family untouched by this pandemic and our hearts go out to
each one of you during these difficult times. We pray that you find a place in your heart to motivate each other in the
days to come, as we look towards a collaborative learning environment for our children.
Though the pandemic has ripped our happiness and forced us to refer to these days as the ‘gloomy times’, we see a ray of
hope at the end of this seemingly endless tunnel.
This school magazine is a beautiful effort in bringing together the creativity of young minds thus encouraging students to
see their literary and artistic work being published. On behalf of the entire management, I congratulate all the team
members for this endeavor.
I wish the Principal, the Editorial Board, the students and parents of Somerville School, Block H, Sector Alpha II,
Greater Noida, U.P., days of health and happiness ahead.

ONE TIME INVESTMENT
Time is the greatest uncertainty in the world. It never waits, it changes with every
motion, with every deed that counts. It favours those who count their blessings and
strive for the best. The time once gone never returns. For some, the passing of time
serves as a boon, the people who keep working for a better future never worry about
what might the upcoming moments bring with them.
For all those who aspire to succeed, time management will play the most significant
part in their life. Albert Einstein had rightly said “A person who has never made a
mistake has never tried anything new”. Each one of us is bound to commit wrongs,
but what matters the most is how we correct ourselves. The most devastating feature
of time is also the best cure for the anguish of many, it quite simply is that time
passes, it changes and brings new mornings with beautiful rays of hope that fill one’s
heart and soul with ecstasy.
Good management of time can do wonders and is like one time investment. Time
management is not easy, one has to stick to a healthy everyday routine which might
end up with tons of hurdles. But as we know that hard work is the key to success and
everything could be achieved if one has the required will power. Management of
time works as weapon for some while others consider it fag.
I would conclude by quoting a few exquisite lines said by Helen Keller- “The most
beautiful things in the world can’t be seen or even be touched, they can only felt by
heart.” Time is the only journey to one’s aim.
-Varnika Mathur ( XI-A)
PRICELESS SECONDS
Proper time management is the pressing need of today’s generation as the
work load is increasing day by day. The only difference between a
successful and an unsuccessful man is the art of time management.
Inculcating the habit of time management enhances our personality in
diverse ways! People nowadays tend to be concerned about the facts which
are now nothing more than just memories or spend time wondering about
future. One needs to understand that amidst the vast ocean of concerns we
have an island of influence. We need focus on what is there in front of us at
present and how we respond to it. People tend to mistake life as extensive
and time to be substantial ignoring that future is unpredictable. We should
manage our time effectively so that we don’t compromise on our interests,
hobbies and personality development. Let’s make every second count.
-Tejaswardhan (XI-B)
TIME MANAGEMENT
We lose many things in our life, but by hard work and luck we can
achieve those things back. But ‘time’ is an exception here. Time once
gone is gone. That is why ‘time’ is very precious. If we respect time,
it might seem very loyal to us and promising for making us reach the
heights, but if we don’t respect time and don’t value it, it can become
our greatest enemy. We have often heard that ‘time’ is referred to as
‘sluttish’. Why is it so? It is so because time has never seemed
faithful to anyone as it constantly changes. So, we conclude that time
has such an important place in our lives and it is precious. So, the
knowledge of time management is very important. Behind every
successful person’s story there is a role of his art of managing time.
We all should learn this art or create our own time table for managing
time. Time is same for everyone, there are fixed number of hours in a
day for each being. But only those who understand that they need to
manage time become successful and do great things. So, we just need
to focus on how we can get the maximum benefit from the time we
have and how to use it properly. If we learn the art of time
management then there is nothing impossible to achieve.
-Urvi Thapliyal, (XI- D)
VITALITY OF TIME MANAGEMENT
Time plays a very important role in our lives and it is necessary to learn to
manage it. Time does not wait for anyone. Everybody has same twenty-
four hours and it depends on the person how he utilizes them. Time
management helps us to cope with stress and anxiety during preparation
and while giving examination. Regular studies help us in scoring well.
One should ensure taking a thirty minutes break and go for a walk or do
any physical activity to refresh and re-energize mind and body.
-Aditi Pant (XI-A)
LEADERS DEMONSTRATE
Every person possesses certain qualities, but those who have leadership
qualities tend to work at high ranks. Prime minister Narendra Modi for
instance, who used to be a tea seller at a railway station is now leading the
country bearing second largest population in the world. He is ranked nine
in the list of world’s most powerful people. The heads of armed forces
embody leadership qualities and are able to bear the weight of
responsibility of nation’s security. We all should learn from such great
examples and should inculcate the values of a leader.
-Rakshit Rawat (XI-D)
YOU ARE THE PILOT
“Time is like a river; you can never touch the same water again.”
Time management is the major issue of concern these days. Time is the
greatest equalizer. We often witness people complaining about their busy
schedule and lack of time. However, they fail to understand that it is not
about having just twenty-four hours a day but about how one utilizes them. It
is very well said “time is what we require the most but we use the worst”. So
how can you manage your time? Well for that learn to manage yourself.
Famous author crystal Paine had very beautifully quoted “If you want to be
productive, you should be the master of your minutes”.
Time management is all about deciding how much time you wish to dedicate
to a particular activity in a day. We all are blessed with twenty-four hours
long day, but one who learns to monitor these ‘eighty-six thousand four
hundred seconds’ efficiently earns bliss, fame, money, success and love.
Prepare a to do list. Assign time not only for studies but ensure that you also
focus on personality development, relationship building and on your health.
Each day before you go to sleep tell yourself that whatever you are today is
because of the choices you made yesterday.
So, what if the time flies? After all you are the pilot.
-Jagriti Mishra XI-A
LEADERSHIP QUALITIES
The famous book of Lily Singh says on its cover page,
'A true bawse knows how to multitask.’ It explains that a
bawse knows how to do multi-tasking which is ironical
because it’s barely possible to pursue multitasking.
But, one who has leadership skills can do it. A leader
with his/her leadership qualities can influence his/her
co-workers to do various tasks directly or indirectly.
A leader is the one who works with his/her kind nature,
good heart and talent of handling or dealing with
problems, stress, and co-workers.
A leader works with his/her team but the leadership
qualities bind them both together to give out net profit
out of their hard work. A person with leadership
qualities shines out bright because the qualities he
possesses are a special gift of God.
- Jiniya Goyal, (XI- D)
LEADERSHIP VALUES
A leader is the one who not only determines his
own success story but also lifts others up.
Leadership is the value that has to be inculcated.
Did you know that leadership is a bunch of
qualities? To be a leader one needs to be honest,
supportive and should have the spirit of inspiring
and influencing others. Have you heard “The
leader is the one who knows the way, goes the way
and shows the way”.
The shining stars like Jawaharlal Nehru, Mahatma
Gandhi, Subhash Chandra Bose and many others
not only brought us freedom but their words played
a very vital role during the formative years of our
constitution. Be a leader by helping everyone rise
to heights.
-Nupur Singh (XI-A)
IMPORTANCE OF VALUES IN LIFE
'A person with good values is very valuable for the world.’
We spend a lot of time of our life in figuring out what profession we want to
take up or learning what is printed in our books but when we step out in the
real world, we fail! For some people it takes almost their entire life to realize
the fact that the world isn’t completely driven by money or bookish
knowledge, it is a person’s values that keep him going.
Values not only help us become a better human being but they also help us to
look at the harsh reality with our lens of optimism. They help us to battle
every possible situation that we might face. Values are very important in
one's life as they make us fit for the longer race. Life is like a destination
which cannot be reached without the journey of values.
-Ritika Sharma, (XI- D)
VITALITY OF VALUES
Values are an important part of a child's overall development. Values make
a person morally strong. Values are basically good manners or teachings
that are transferred from one generation to another. It is believed that when
the child is in mother’s womb, whatever the mother eats, reads, hears or
witnesses is retained by the child. It is from that very phase of life that the
child starts receiving values.
Importance of values is sensed at every stage of life. During school days,
values help a person to attain good knowledge and learn everything with
passion and hard work. When child grows into adult, values help him to
choose the correct path and prevent him from indulging in wrong things.
When a person gets married, values help him to understand the importance
and responsibility of a family. In old age also one is prone to indulge in
wrong habits and unnecessary fights.
Therefore, it is the duty of a mother to inculcate good values in a child and
it is the duty of the child to imbibe them and act accordingly.
-Tejaswita Sharma (XI-A)
IMMORTAL BELIEF
Every morning brings new hope For I might not know who I am
Hope like the sun : Definitely an anonymous discoverer
Which goes dormant but never dies Who's looking for her own identity
For each of us holds within a deep sorrow Not the oblivious inventions or lands
An anguish that is indestructible yet helps to conquer
us thrive
I hold within furtives
The dawn that makes the birds chirrup Words that I can not justify
And the light that enlightens smiles For I do possess the courage to
Fill one's heart with ecstasy and cheer-ups speak
That won't last forever yet bring life But not the intent to make people
believe
