Please tell us about yourself.

I like Science. Therefore, I love to explore more and more Science-based theories. I am particularly interested in the field of Biology. In future, I hope to become a doctor after my grandfather. He was a celebrated practitioner who bagged several honours for his contribution to medicine. An admirable quality I wish to imbibe from him is his dedication to ethical and fair practice.

Why did you choose to write about your school as part of Scholar-Journalist?

I entered the sixth grade in school and my experience has been marvellous. I am excited about being part of the new wing. I heard many things about it and now it is coming to reality. I am pleasantly surprised by the tons of opportunities made available to us in the school such as the different extracurricular-based clubs. I am keen to join one based on Artificial Intelligence.

What did your first week of school look like?

I explored the entire school during the break. I tried to absorb the atmosphere and feeling. Besides, I was happy to interact with my seniors. They were kind and courteous towards me.

This year, I am hoping to do my best both in academics and sports.

In this summer break, what are your plans?

At present, I am volunteering to create a green belt in our society. As part of it, every week, I am planting trees and taking care of them. This is a community-based initiative. Besides, I am also learning tennis. I may travel to Shimla with my family for a vacation soon.
