If my mind can conceive it, and my heart can believe it, then I can achieve it. … Muhammad Ali Toppers Speak

To begin with, I had never thought in my wildest dreams that I was capable of achieving what I did. There were always people who I felt were better than me. I would constantly compare myself with others on every aspect, be it studies, sports or even social media. I tried to mimic what others did to get what they had. A life changing moment came when one of my teachers inspired me to not compare myself with others but to compete with myself. He said that everyone has problems and challenges in life and encouraged me to find my own identity. Well, surely this took a lot of time for me to understand as it was against my beliefs. But gradually as I did so, I started coping with the boredom of constant pressure of class twelve. I changed and even at the time of examination, I never thought of getting a full score. My only focus was to write my paper in such a way that I could apply all my knowledge to the given Kushagra Goyal (Science) question in an appropriate manner. The manner could only be learnt by the vast experience of my teachers. I wish to conclude with the message that try to give your best to improve yourself and be patient for the results to come.

This is my story of starting a journey without knowing what lies ahead. I was diagnosed with Dyslexia which didn’t come as a shock to me and my family as they were fully supportive and accepted to face the challenge with determination. My School played a significant role in my life. Counselors at my school and especially my teachers encouraged me and infused a new self confidence into me that was unknown to me before. Not much changed except that I decided not to give up and make my family proud. I didn’t lose hope. I changed the way I studied. I was more inclined towards experimental studies which made me learn things more comfortably. It was hard at first but with perseverance and determination, in time, I realized I was much stronger than what I thought of myself. I SehdevChaddha (Vocational Studies) took life more positively and looked at each hurdle in life as a new opportunity. My hard work yielded result when I scored 90.2% marks in boards and got selected in my dream college, International Institute of Hotel Management. I know, that I am now confident and can see what lies ahead!

Every day spent in this school has given me moments I will cherish for my entire life. A greenhorn to alphabet, I entered and departed with a topper’s tag. What more could one want! The undaunted support of the school provided an impetus for me to develop from a meek and shy child into the flag bearer of the school. For me, the zeal to outperform ignited by the school, provided a stimulus to be what I held potential for. Who could imagine an academically mediocre child with no confidence to reach such a high pedestal? Honesty, I couldn’t. I feel grateful to all the teachers who guided me towards the right path, held my hand when I lost faith in myself and motivated me to persevere till I achieved success,to all the support staff who made this little kid happy when he was away from his mom, Krishna didi and Anil Bhaiya who never made him feel away from home. Memories of childhood are indeed Rahul Rohilla (Commerce) eternal!

The feeling of having topped in class is something that I would not be able to appropriately describe in words. A feat made possible only because of the support, effort and encouragement of my parents and teachers. I have always considered myself to be average in academics and therefore I dedicate my success to my school, to all my teachers, parents and friends who not only believed that I had the ability to get good grades but also made me believe in it and work towards it. I was made to realise that if one has the hunger and desire to win, one will win under any circumstances. My routine for preparation for the boards was not very complicated. I used to make sure that once I sat down for studies, it was only me and my books. My parents used to make sure they Nidhi Sanjeev kept all distractions like mobile phones, TV and computers away. They acted like a support system throughout my examinations. Sharma(Humanities) My teachers used to plan tests in the oral and written forms for our class with a chapter daily and that was a huge help. So in short, the mantra is to take it slow but with concentration and focus. You don’t need to worry about the result. Instead, just keep an eye on the target.
