The Teenager Today – August 2019

(Barré) #1

I dedicate this achievement to my
school and to my loving teachers
because this was possible only
because of them.


Would you share with our readers
some of the secrets of your success
that they can apply in their life, too?


The most important thing,
according to me, is to really listen to
the teachers. Not just sit passively
in the class, but to interact, ask
questions and to make the best


would be more transparent, free
of corruption and other evils, look
after the welfare of its citizens,
and most importantly care for
them. I wish our leaders be free
of hate and communal politics, to
be accountable to the people and
to have a vision for the country.
I would try to work towards the
realization of this vision by being
a part of the system. I want to get
in for Civil Service, and as an IAS
officer, try to be honest and caring.

I like reading books and novels,
participating in debates and
quizzes, watching news, etc. Lately,
I have also been writing some
poems.

What are your future plans?

I have taken up Humanities
(English, Mathematics, Economics,
Political Science and Legal
Studies) in Class XI, to many
people’s surprise. I am currently
studying in Delhi Public School,

of every class. My suggestion to
other students is that they must do
everything sincerely and honestly.
I never went for tuitions nor did
I buy reference books. I cleared
my concepts, did the homework
on time, took each test and exam
seriously and did my best. Solving
the past years’ papers before the
Boards, too, has helped me.


Do you have a vision for our
country? What contributions are
you prepared to make towards the
realization of this vision?


Of course, I have a vision for
our country. I wish our system


Which is the last book you read
before the Board Examination? Has
it in any way helped you in your
academic achievement?

I read a few books before and
during the Board Examination like:
To Kill A Mocking Bird by Harper Lee,
The Forest Of Enchantments by Chitra
Banerjee Divakaruni and The 5 AM
Club by Robin Sharma. I cannot say
that they directly helped me in the
exams, but I can confidently say that
my reading habit has helped me in
academics, especially in English.

Other than studies, what are your
other interests?

“Read a lot and never


stop learning. Do what


you are interested in, and


contribute to your vision


for India in your own


way. Be conscious and


responsible citizens of


the country; the country


desperately needs you!”

R. K. Puram, Delhi. I am also
preparing for the law entrance
exams like CLAT and AILET to
hopefully get admission in one of
the NLUs. After my B.A. L.L.B,
I will either continue in law or
prepare for the Civil Service.

Is there anything else that you like
to share with our readers?

I would like to tell all my
dear friends not to worry about
marks, rather discover and
develop your potential. Read a
lot and never stop learning. Do
what you are interested in, and
contribute to your vision for India
in your own way. Be conscious
and responsible citizens of the
country; the country desperately
needs you!
