development.
Every school offers different type of programs and cultural events which always help a
student to learn new things and also socialization. When I was in school, I experienced lot of
things and had a very pleasant and happy days. It helped me to gain knowledge of fundamental
intellectual skills like writing, reading, quantitative and cognitive abilities, verbal expression.
And it also taught language well which helps to communicate with one another. For any person

learning that how to become a part of culture. In addition to this, with the help of socialization
person learns culture's language and their own role in life. Socialization can be defined as
interacting or communicating with people. During my schooling I developed many skills such as
how to talk, developed personality and how to interact in a group, which further helped me in my
life. School had a positive affect on my values, thinking, behaviour and attitude. There were
certain competition and other programs and I always used to participate which helped me in
1

developing social behaviour and to learn different things. Teachers influenced on the thought
process and taught various values which explains the meaning and value of life. When a person
communicate with other person, attitude always matters and which should be positive.
Values which I learned in my school such as honesty, hard work, cooperation, respect for
others these values always helped me in my social and personal life. Positive environment of
school influenced me to act positively with positive attitude. Good environment affect on the
thought process of a child . School is learning environment after family which have a great
impact on child's thinking ability, development and behaviour. My school had some programs
which helped me to increase my thinking ability and the way of behaviour in public. To test
thinking ability of a child, some kind of situation is given which force their mind to think to
overcome from particular situation. These kind of exercise help to improve my thought process
and solve problems related to life.
During my schooling I had many friends and me and my friends used to play games and
other physical activities which helped to get socialized with different people and get to know
them more. Talking with friends during breaks and sharing little things which was always fun.
School developed qualities in me such as discipline and punctuality which are very essential in
one's life. Social skills are those which need to interact or communicate adaptively in one's
environment of culture. When I went to school for the first time I found it very strange but then I
communicate with peers and other students which made me more comfortable and I used to go
school daily because it was interesting and give opportunities to learn things. In a school
different type of people can be find some are shy, intelligent, funny, creative, quite and timid
which creates a different environment for a particular student. School helped to behave well, to
develop communication skills and social skills . Social communication helps to build a
confidence to initiate conversation and also understanding speaker.
In my school there were several cultural programs, participating in those helped to learn
more about culture and helped me to overcome from the stage fear. Teachers were very kind and
humble, they always used to help with every problem and guided to solve problems. Initially I
had problems with reading and learning which I overcome when my teachers helped me with
those. And my academics became good with the days, teachers always explained every topic in
such way that it can be easy for students and it helped me to learn in easy way. In certain classes
I had group discussion in which a group of people used to sit together and had discuss on the
2

given topic. And group discussion helped to get to know about the perspective of other students
and talking skills improved with that and the ability increased to understand the given topic.
During primary education I did not know anything about education and how it will help
me to get socialized but slowly when I involved in learning process I developed more skills and
knowledge about it. Games were always fun part of school, it always gave joy and pleasure with
different activities. Some games were like puzzles and jumbled words which pressurize brain to
think and increase ability of thinking. And test which are given school because they can assess
the knowledge which a student is gaining from school. Initially a child learns by copying and
watching. In school every day activities which help children to develop values and character.
Values and characters are important part of hidden curriculum but it is also need to explicitly
taught. At the other hand, debates in school and enterprise activities were my favourite which
help to raise confidence and self esteem and also helped to teach me fundamentals of democracy.
I had a schedule to spend some time on values and responsibilities which made more
independent and confident.
School have positive environment where students are relaxed and happy to learn and it
will help them to achieve their maximum potential. Teachers always motivated me to be
proactive and determined in my learning and other skills. Support of teachers encourage to show
positive attitude towards learning. School is primary environment for a child to learn several
things. School always creates a positive attitude which helps during interaction with other
people, my school and teachers helped me to create a positive attitude which led a good
communication with other children. My school provided group discussion and debate
competition which were conducted to improve communication skills and how well child can
convince others, it made me more socialised and developed confidence to talk in front of
audience.
Hidden curriculum is referred as lessons that are taught in formal way and normally
unintentionally in school. My school experience was good with hidden curriculum such as
perspective, attitude, behaviour which I gained while schooling. It was contracted with formal
curriculum like activities and courses which I used to participate in. I learned form ideas and
opinions about environment and other classmates. School taught me an appropriate way to talk
and behave and helped to understand different cultures. And ideas and attitude which I learnt in
school made score well yearly and affected on the natural observation as well as participation in
3

social activities in classroom. Hidden curriculum areas in my school which mold student's
perspectives deal with the issues like gender, social class, cultural expectations, language,
politics and stereotypes, but still it could able to manage. Athletics and sports organised in my
school which had equal chance for every child.
Hidden curriculum has important affect on increasing responsibilities of students. Social
responsibilities are skill which can be gain by knowledge and experience and also prepares
students for concerning about life problems and makes personality stronger, skills to manage life,
view point about life, life to connect and increase environment in helpful and effective manner
and against society that is responsible for. Atmosphere of school is much familiar with civil duty
and occupational. Hidden curriculum plays a major role to develop more skills in a child .
Hidden curriculum activities of my school were effective, it had a positive impact on my
personality. It made me more independent and responsible in life. These experiences proved
essential for the better life. In school there were few students who lacked social skills and it led
them to face several problems, it affected negatively on their personality and consistency with
environment and which resulted isolation.
Some of most unpleasant and antisocial people I met in my school time, when
socialization word comes it takes me back to my school days where I learned it. In my school I
learned to fit in, keep quite and also learned knowledge equals power. Socialization comes from
interacting with different people, healthy conversation and discussion. I used have a good
conversation with every person of school. School taught me how I can make myself comfortable
in a group of stranger people. Socialization have great impact on children life it makes them
develop social skills and confidence to talk in a group.
School is not only place to learn writing and reading, it also place a child where child
learn to get develop along with other people. Social skills play a major role in child's well being
and emotional health. Having a conversation with other children is required because without that
child may feel lonely and which every child wants to avoid. In my school there was a positive
environment for learning and to develop various skills which always helped me to behave in well
manner. My behaviour was well with other children and teachers which created a good
impression about me.
In my case school helped me to socialised by providing opportunities to gain vocational
and social abilities that are required in order to make someone social and economically

productive society member. Education helped me to shape my attitude and values which are
needs of contemporary society. It also widened mental horizon and taught me new ways of
looking at society and myself. Opportunities for intellectual, social and emotional growth is
provided by school and thus it helped me in promoting new values as well as stimulating
adaptation to fit in any changing environment or condition. Especially and informally with the
help of social clubs, school enabled me to learn number of other skills and social roles that was
essential for my overall development as I belong to the society. Education also helps to learn
about law, norms and traditions of community, rights which are people will enjoy and
responsibilities which is undertaken by people. Education taught me sharing things, ideas,
compete responsibility, cooperate and more things. Education led me towards humanitarian and
tolerant attitude. As I spent major time in school which made me more socialised with people
and helped to learn different skills and developed responsibilities regarding life decisions.

socialized me. Hidden and formal curriculum activities help to socialize values which helped me
to communicate. Teachers have a major role to help with these skills. Socialization is a complex
process which helped me to learn attitudes, values, patterns of behaviour and skills within
society. It also helped me to socialised and interact with various people which built confidence.
