WHO AM I! (A POEM)

Who Am I! A Poem       

Introduction

Understanding our true identity is crucial for everyone. While we are all aware that we are human beings, this poem focuses on our specific roles in the world. Often, we become confused about which particular role we should play. 

Additionally, we need to remind ourselves of these roles when we become entangled in worldly affairs. In this poem, I seek to remind myself of my own identity. 

This is a moving poem that captures the universal struggle of self-discovery. It balances the physical (the beating heart) with the metaphysical (the wandering soul).

Let us now read and discover how I have undertaken this self-reminder.

Who Am I!

I am the pulse, the rhythm of a grace, 

A map of starlight etched upon a face. 

A thinking mind, a spirit born to fly, 

The silent witness to a shifting sky. 

In every laugh and every tear I find 

The complex architecture of the mind.

I ask the wind: Who am I?

Through seasons harsh and summers of the soul, 

I brave the frost to keep my spirit whole. 

A vessel forged in passion, bright and bold, 

Yet fragile when the winter nights take hold. 

I am the strength that towers towards the sun,

 And every battle that I’ve lost and won.

I ask the stars: Who am I?

I learn by fire, I rise from ash anew, 

With every wound a deeper truth in view. 

I mourn the child, the quiet days of yore, 

Before the world came knocking at my door. 

As time’s relentless river rushes on, 

I find the person I have been is gone.

I ask the void: Who am I?

When sorrow’s shadow drapes across my chest, 

I lean on kin to find a moment's rest. 

In lonely deserts, vast and sand-swept wide, 

I find the self I used to seek outside. 

For in the silence of that barren land, 

I finally learnt to take my own soul’s hand.

Now I know... Who am I.

I am the wellspring, vibrant, deep, and true, 

A bridge for those who seek to wander through. 

No longer small, no longer lost to fear, 

I am the teacher, resolute and clear. 

The road is long, the lesson soars on high: 

I am the seeker, and I am the sky.

Dedicated to all teachers, the noblest of all professions in the universe.

Summary of the Poem


In this poem, I depict myself both as a teacher and an ordinary individual. In my view, a teacher is someone who possesses not only a strong academic foundation, research background, teaching experience, but also profound and practical life experiences.

Furthermore, it is essential for a successful teacher to have first-hand experience with the challenging phases of life that he/she is expected to come across and teach the same to students. Thus, a teacher cannot truly succeed without having endured the difficulties described in this poem.

INTRODUCTION TO QUANTITATIVE REASONING COURSE

☀️Introduction to Quantitative Reasoning Course  for B.Ed/BS/BCS/MS/M.Phil Level Students Quantitative Reasoning (QR) also known as quantitative literacy or numeracy, is an ability and an academic skill to use mathematical concepts and procedures.  The literal meaning of the word " Quantitative " is " the discrete or continuous data that is often counted or measured in numerical values ." Whereas, the literal meaning of the word " Reasoning " is " the rational and logical thinking ." QR is a " Habit of Mind " which often involves interpretation of empirical and numerical data, identification of patterns, flow charts, geometrical shapes, and diagrams for identifying real life problems including offering viable solutions.  QR requires logical reasoning and critical thinking to analyse the real life issues and making informed decisions. Undergraduate level learners often require to have some basic knowledge about statistics numeracy, quant...

Numeracy and Measurement: Dimensional analysis, unit conversions, and approximation

Numeracy and Measurement in Quantitative Reasoning - I In the context of the  Quantitative Reasoning (QR) course, numeracy and measurement are treated as the " literacy of numbers ."  It is less about high-level abstract Maths and more about the practical application of logic to real-world data, quantitative research and daily life. In the context of Quantitative Research in Education , these concepts move from simple arithmetic values to the rigorous architecture of a study. They ensure that the data you collect, whether it's test scores, classroom time, or pedagogical approaches, is valid, comparable, and logically sound. 1. Numeracy: The Foundation of Data Interpretation In educational research, numeracy is the ability to interpret numerical data to make " data-driven decisions ." It involves moving beyond the simple calculation to the inference . Standardised Benchmarks: A researcher must understand that a "60 marks" on a job-level written test ...

Important SPSS Tests, Procedures and Purposes

Important SPSS Tests, Procedures & Purposes: A Quantitative Reasoning Course Perspective for Undergraduate Students  SPSS provides a wide range of statistical tests for quantitative research and analysis. It is a popular software used to explore and interpret quantitative data. Many different tests are available, but some of the most common are listed below.  New researchers should familiarise themselves with these important tests before starting their research and analysing results from a quantitative perspective.  While choosing a statistical test in SPSS, consider the number of variables you are analysing, the type of data for each variable (such as Nominal, Ordinal, or Scale ), and whether your data meets the requirements of parametric tests. The following table summarises some common tests in SPSS to help you select the right one for your analysis. Let's now look into these key SPSS tests . Pilot Testing   Pilot testing is a small-scale trial run of a re...
