Humanism Her Forte
Teaching is an art.Teaching with a dedication and a vision is what that makes it unique. Mrs.Emmie is one such exponent who travels on par with a vision admist challenges.
Emmie hails from an orthodox and conservative family of Mr.John and Mrs.Elizabeth John from No.7, Second Street, VGP Amudha Nagar, Maduravoil Chennai. Emmie completed her school education at Presidency Higher Secondary School, Egmore. But before completion of her school studies she was married to Charles, when she was in her final year in School.
The inborn instinct to serve others inspired her to persue her studies even after her marriage and she successfully completed M.A. M.Ed., in Madras University in the year 1981. During this span, her father who was running a small Primary School with few children gave in charge of the school to her. Mrs.Emmie Charles by her sheer perscverence made that primary school to higher secondary school in the year 1988, which is now Nathans Girls Higher Secondary School, Nerkundram.
To make the school exemplary, she introduced night classes for the village students, which resulted in the students securing centum results continously for 3 years.
Mrs.Emmie Charles says that this method has encouraged more students from the village to join her instiution. May god bless this teacher to continue her yeomen services?
