A Story of Self Designed Learning

This poem is a presentation of Pooja Sippy's life. Inspired by Hers For the Taking: A Poem about Female Empowerment (Arshia Agrawal), guided by the Story Spine exercise (Kenn Adams) & supported by Lev Vygotsky’s Zone Of Proximal Development And Scaffolding theory, Pooja has scripted her own experiences from childhood to adulthood across different time spans. 

Once upon a time:

Mom, adopted Daughter - Solely for experiencing  parenting single handedly 

Everyday:

Smiling, Carefree Daughter gazed at her mom with playful innocent eyes

But one day: 

Daughter stopped attending regular school and with mom - experienced homeschooling together at NGOs and community activities. 

Because of that: 

Both mom & daughter Shared experiences and started CONNECTING with more people

Because of that: 

Neighbors - tried to reduce them for not going to a regular school & Socially was looked down upon for helicopter parenting single handedly and inspite of obstacles Mom Persevered resonating with Mother Teresa's quote:

If you can't feed 100 then feed 1

Because of that: 

Mom PERSEVERED more passionately alone single handedly without any support.

Until finally: 

Both mom/daughter ROSE passionately together - to connect with global communities virtually &  reached the summit together fearlessly!!!!

Ever since then: 

They are not alone anymore + connected intergenerationally and interculturally worldwide
