My schedule is quite structured. I return from school, have lunch, and then attend tuition classes. After that, I go to the gym for about an hour and a half.

The exposure provided by Apeejay is invaluable. Participating in interviews, inter-school events, and the interact club has given me insights into real-life scenarios and helped me develop skills that will be useful beyond school.
