The application has been helpful to me personally by giving me a chance to hit pause and take a break from all the things that cause me to think excessively, like school work and life. Their guided meditation feature caught my eye instantly. I followed the instructions word-by-word and benefitted from it. Every student in 12th Grade has an enormous amount of stress they don't usually share openly. Zengarden gives us a chance to take a break from that stress and only be in the moment with ourselves.
Priya was a consistent performer — 82% in Class 10, active in the debate club, never a discipline issue. In July of Class 11, she chose Science stream under pressure from her parents. By September her grades had slipped to under 60%.
Her class teacher noticed she had stopped asking questions. Her friends noticed she had stopped coming to lunch. Her parents were told it was "the Class 11 adjustment" at the PTM.
No one had a system to flag what three people had independently noticed.
Priya wasn't failing. She was struggling with a career decision she hadn't made herself, in a stream she didn't want, with no one to talk to who wasn't also invested in the outcome.
