Could you tell us a bit about yourself and your experience at Apeejay School?
I am in my 5th grade currently and I absolutely adore studying, especially Maths. Apeejay School holds a special place in my heart; I cherish both the academic curriculum and the extracurricular activities. I particularly enjoy playing badminton and dancing. Recently, I participated in a dance competition, and I can’t wait for more such opportunities.
What subjects do you enjoy the most, and how do you spend your time after school?
My favourite subjects are Maths and English. I spend my afternoons playing badminton and practising dance during my activity period at school. Once I’m home around 2:30 pm, my mom helps me with my studies. I also have a growing interest in Science and love exploring new concepts.
Have you learnt anything interesting recently?
Yeah! I learnt about planets and moons. It’s cool to know about Pluto and how many moons each planet has. I also like reading encyclopaedias to learn new stuff.
Who inspires you, whether from movies, books, or real life?
I recently watched a movie about fighter planes, and I was captivated by it. Fighter pilots have become my inspiration, especially after watching the movie “Gunjan Saxena”. Moreover, my favourite teachers, Diba Duggal ma’am and Janti Katyal ma’am, inspire me with their excellent teaching methods in Maths and Science, respectively.
What are your aspirations for the future?
I want to become a fighter pilot. My role model is my mom, whose support and guidance motivates me.
