Excerpts from the interview.

When did you realise your calling for Computer Science?  

It all started due to a teacher at Apeejay International School, Greater Noida. I wouldn’t have pursued Computer Science if it was not for her teaching skills. She nurtured my curiosity and boosted my confidence.

How is college going for you?

It is extremely interesting! University of Delhi is known for its educational excellence as well as multifarious opportunities and events. So, I am happy to be part of it. Besides, I am interning with an MNC to understand the industry and gather more knowledge about my chosen field.

Your aim.

I hope to pursue a degree in management abroad and pair it with my knowledge of computers. Later on, I will utilise my skills in the corporate sector.

How were your years at Apeejay International School, Greater Noida?

It was an incredible journey. Apeejay provides exposure to holistic learning and focuses on all aspects of growth. As part of my school, I was in the student’s council from class V and it gave me a lot of confidence. In class XI too, I had the opportunity to become the president of the school. The next year, I was the Head of the Prefectorial Board. Overall, such leadership opportunities helped shape my personality for the future.
