One of the challenges that I succeeded


 I am a male dancer and currently a first-year university student in University of Visual and Performing Arts. I want to share a small story about my journey in school dance.

During my final year of school, I noticed something unusual our school, founded in 1873, had been performing traditional dances for over a hundred years, but only girls performed certain items. Even though our school was mixed, girls usually performed at every items,occassions. So on that period when I'm going school I was the only boy who performed on the stage.

                                  


After finishing my A/Ls, I decided to teach and train boys who were interested in dance. I started with just two boys, practicing after school and on Friday evenings. Over time, the group grew, and today, there are around ten boys performing on stage in any school occassion. 


Looking back, I feel proud and emotional. This was my one of achievements. I took on a challenge that no one had done before, and I succeeded. Now when I watching boys perform on stage , I sometimes feel tears of joy because I know that I made it possible.

 I'm Thilina Malshan Perera . I'm 22 years old. I'm from Marawila. I'm the one and only child to my parents. I'm currently an undergraduate student in University of Visual and Performing Arts. Simply, I'm one of the breathing humans in this world. Dance is my passion. So I always try to learn some more new things that related to my path. To date I can dance Sri Lankan traditional dance, Indian classical Kathak dance style, Modern Contemperory dance too..  Personally I know that, dance is the way to satisfy my own self. After dancing I prefer to spend time with my loving parents and travel all around the world. I mostly prefer to eat Sri Lankan rice and curry, Italian dishes, and Chocolate flavoured sweets too.. Fresh fruit juice and chocolate milk shake are my favourite beverages.  Finally I have to include that the person who am I , or who will I be in the future is depend on my role.I love myself .

Delayed Dreams

‘ Waiting for Our Academic Journey to Begin🎓’  I am currently a first-year student at the University of Visual and Performing Arts. In our batch, most students were born in 2004, but there are also students born in 2002, 2003, and 2005. However, the sad situation is that although we completed our G.C.E. Advanced Level examination in 2023–2024 and were selected to the university in the same year, we are still at home. Our academic activities started online in September 2025, but even by February 2026, we are still not attending to physical lectures.            We were supposed to start physical lectures on the 23rd of March 2026, but due to a global issue, it was postponed again. As students, we truly wish to start our academic journey on time, complete our degree within the proper period, and move forward with our own careers and lives. We understand that even our university and lecturers are facing difficulties, and that this delay has been continuin...

The most unforgettable role in my life

           ‘  The period I spent as the head prefect of my school  ’    is my most unforgettable leading role in my life. I am the former head prefect of St.Sebastian’s Central College Katuneriya in 2022-2023.                         My school was established on 1873 AD. Since that period onwards, I am the first and only head prefect that emerged from the dancing section. During my duty period there were 90 prefects under me and the other head prefect girl , such as 4 Deputy head prefects , 58 senior prefects and 28 junior prefects. We did so many things at the school during our duty period.                      If I list down some memories that we are still memorable. As our school is a Roman Catholic school, there is a different culture and a tradition in our school. • As the tradition of our school , the annually new...
