Finding Their Path: Rishon and Riya’s Journey with Beyond 8
27 August 2024 — Written by Naveen Mahesh
Every student’s journey at Beyond 8 is unique, but Rishon and Riya’s stories beautifully illustrate how our approach can transform uncertainty into clarity and passion into purpose.
Rishon’s Transformation
When Rishon first joined Beyond 8, he wasn’t quite sure what to expect. The traditional education systems he’d been part of often felt restrictive, focusing more on rote learning than on understanding and innovation. But from the moment he stepped into the Beyond 8 ecosystem, things felt different.
Here, the learning environment was vibrant and collaborative, encouraging him to explore topics not just in textbooks but in real-world contexts. With mentors who genuinely cared about his interests, Rishon found himself drawn to projects that challenged him to think critically and creatively. He realized that learning wasn’t just about passing exams; it was about discovering who he was and what he was passionate about.
Through hands-on projects that mirrored real-world challenges, Rishon found his voice. The projects were not just theoretical exercises—they were practical, with real implications, and they made Rishon feel like his contributions mattered. This experience was a turning point for him, giving him the confidence to pursue dreams he hadn’t even dared to dream before joining Beyond 8.
Riya’s Journey of Discovery
For Riya, the story was one of self-discovery. Before Beyond 8, she was caught in a web of indecision, unsure of which path to take in her academic and professional life. The world seemed full of possibilities, but none seemed to fit her perfectly.
At Beyond 8, Riya was encouraged to explore. The mentors here didn’t just teach; they guided, listened, and provided her with the tools to find her own way. The flexibility of the program allowed her to dip her toes into various disciplines, from science to the arts, until she found what truly resonated with her.
One of the most impactful experiences for Riya was working on collaborative projects. These weren’t just assignments; they were opportunities to learn from her peers, share ideas, and grow as a team. This environment of shared learning and mutual growth helped Riya gain the clarity she had been seeking. She emerged from the experience with a clear sense of direction and a newfound confidence in her ability to navigate the future.
Beyond 8: Where Learning is a Journey
Rishon and Riya’s stories are just two examples of the many journeys that students embark on at Beyond 8. In a world where education often feels like a race to the finish line, Beyond 8 offers something different—a chance to explore, to discover, and to grow in a way that’s as unique as each student.
At Beyond 8, we believe in preparing students not just for their next exam, but for life. Whether it’s through real-world projects, personalized mentoring, or a flexible curriculum that adapts to each student’s needs, our goal is to help every student find their path and walk it with confidence.
