Mansi is a proud alumna of Apeejay International School, Greater Noida. Part of 2009 batch, this Apeejay alumna went on to pursue her Bachelors from Kamala Nehru College, University of Delhi.

Currently an MBA aspirant, Mansi speaks joyously about her school days as well as shares some special anecdotes. Read edited excerpts:

Tell us about the years at school?

Those years were golden. I was exposed to numerous opportunities and activities that shaped me as an individual. I joined this school in class 5 and the journey from there till class 12 was tremendous.

What were your interests at school?

I have always been passionate about art. I was very interested in art and the teachers motivated me a lot. I participated in many inter school art competitions and won the first prize on many accounts. 

Share a special anecdote from those days?

The best moment of my school time came in class 11, when we students gave farewell to our seniors. The teachers and classmates, we all stayed back as a team and bonded really well. That was special.

What were your favourite subjects?

Math as it was so intriguing to me. I did Commerce with Math. I loved numbers. 

A quick tip to a commerce student?

Never underestimate Business Studies. It is very underrated as a subject but it is very important and goes a long way in life. 

What career prospects are open after commerce?

So many options to choose from! One can pursue Economics honours from Delhi University, it is a great course. Then the most sought after CA or CS or MBA options are there. 

I was more interested in business analytics, it  is a very high in demand upcoming profession. I love to work with data and numbers and my Math background helped me. 

Lastly, share one value you picked from the school teachers?

The school teachers always told us to respect everyone. These advice from mentors will guide one in rough days. They told us students to always have patience and keep faith in oneself. Their support fuels me even today!
