ATO has given me an identity of my own. I was unaware of my own capabilities and talents, but the teachers and especially Lalitha Ma’am made me realize my talents. She made me shine like a diamond.

I joined ATO at the age of twelve. I am affected by cerebral palsy. I am glad that I got such a great opportunity to become a part of ATO. In this school, the teachers motivated and encouraged me so much that I became independent and could stand on my own legs.

I would like to thank Lalitha Ma’am, who gave me an opportunity to become a part of this school. When I entered ATO, I was a person not knowing what and how actually the outer world was. But as time passed, I totally changed and became a social and communicative person. When people look at me they think that I am not capable of doing adventure activities like canopy walk, mountain climbing etc. But she was the person who understood and motivated me to make up my mind that YES I CAN!!!! The special aspect of my school is that, based on the situations, the teachers change accordingly. They take the place of moms when wanted and also become a good friend when we want to share our feelings.

I would like to thank God, because he is the one who showed me the right place at the right time. People may feel bad that I studied in a special school, but I am glad that I got this wonderful chance that I could prove myself that I am not less than anybody. Now I am in my 2nd year, undergoing a Bachelors in Business Administration.

I would like to pass a message - never feel bad that your child is studying in a special school because this is the time when a child needs a major support. And this support is provided by this school to each and every child studying at ATO.

The good coaching helped me finish my B.Sc. Hotel Management at SRM University with ease. The strategies which they taught me at school helped me finish my under graduate degree successfully and I got a job at ITC Grand Chola in Guindy as a Guest Service Associate (GSA).

When I came to know that I was going to join Alpha to Omega because of my learning difficulties, I was scared. I was going to be in a new school, with new teachers and new friends. I was wondering whether I could cope up with everyone at Alpha to Omega. But after I joined, I gradually made new friends. However, I refused to listen to my teachers at the beginning and I struggled through my first year. However, the teachers continued to coach me with techniques such as Instrumental Enrichment, spelling rules, sentence writing and paragraph writing strategies. The support extended up to my final year in school, thanks to the teachers at ATO.

I should really thank Mrs. LalithaRamanujan and the teachers of ATO for their support, love and care. With all their support, I have reached this destiny. Still I have to go forward. I hope the grace of ATO will be showered throughout my life.

I cannot find any words to convey my gratitude to the school and its faculty who really toiled with me to make me what I am today. It was a very long and difficult journey for me to come out of school and to enter University.

I was probably the lone student who spent longest years of study in Alpha to Omega Learning Centre. I joined in the year 1997 and came out in the year 2011. Rather, almost my entire schooling was under the care of Alpha to Omega Learning Centre.

Prior to joining Alpha to Omega, I had two years of schooling, where I was considered more of a nuisance as I was more interested in distracting the class and disturbing other children. My self-esteem was very low and I sought attention by doing all wrong things.

As a child, I had no interests in studies as I could not perform any task. Reading and writing were my major issues as I was very confused which hand to use for writing. By the time I reached school final, I slowly started realizing that I am behind my peers with regard to progress.

It was in Alpha to Omega, I slowly started showing interest towards studies and started following the special techniques taught to me like Instrumental Enrichment, Spelling techniques, Writing Strategies,how to read and comprehend etc. which helped me in showing some progress in my academics.

I cleared X standard and Higher Secondary exams on the first attempt along with vocational subjects.

The vocational subjects evinced interest in me taking up a course on B.Sc., Catering and Hotel Management in my under graduation level.

Today, I am really proud to say that I am employed in the best of the Hotels in Chennai gaining confidence day by day in my work that I can also lead a normal life like any other person. Very soon, after couple of years I am planning to do my Masters.

I take this opportunity, to wish the management and faculty of Alpha to Omega,continued success in all their endeavors, extending a helping hand to the special children and make their parents a happy lot.

When I was first asked to connect the dots I didn’t know how it was going to impact me. Today, I recollect my memories of my class teacher at ATO telling me to put myself in the position of the dots and to choose the best option to overcome the obstacles in order to finally achieve the given target. It has defiantly given me an edge over many of my colleagues at work. It has made an Himalayan difference in my personal life as well. What started as “connecting 2 dots” has now helped me connect many dots in real life.
