I was thrilled to participate in the events and wanted to produce my best. This is something that I am always excited to explore. Participation in itself allows learning and enhancing the skills further. The experience in the laboratory was simply comforting.
What is your ambition?
I want to explore the field of space science and am looking forward to pursuing aeronautical engineering at ISRO.
Which are your favourite subjects and why?
Science and Math excite me a lot and I like both subjects because of my inclination towards technical knowledge. These subjects help me understand the functioning of various things and let me explore my inquisitiveness of Hows and Whys.
How did Apeejay School support your journey?
Apeejay School gave me the right platform to learn and engage in studies and extracurricular activities. My teachers have kept me motivated through the failures and showed me the path to success. None of these would have been possible without the required support and infrastructure that the school has provided me. My teachers have guided me and given me options and the right exposure to excel.
