“Almighty God, thank you for the days in school!”…
As I begin to craft this article, I can’t help but smile thinking about the warm memories and million joyous moments my alma matter, Yuvabharathi has given me. My mind is filled with happiness or what is called bliss as I recollect my memories and this feeling in me is what, Yuvabharathi is to me.
Being a member of the Yuva family from my primary years, I believe that the impact of Yuvabharathi on me has been extraordinary. Ever since the inception, teachers, the culture, infrastructure, teaching methods, and every other fundamental aspect has just been perfect. I still remember the day in my fourth grade when my class teacher mentored me to be emotionally strong and I also recall the day when my teacher in 12th grade motivated me to not settle for anything less than my potential. Yes, they have played a key role in my journey throughout. Most importantly, I would like to highlight the fact that teachers and staff in school believe in us, students. I recall the times when our principal believed in me and confidently sent me for an inter-school sports meet, a month before my board examination. Yes, she believed in me and brought out the best in me.
Quoting more instances like these would fill up all the pages of the magazine, so I will refrain from doing so. I can’t help but feel ecstatic about my entire journey in school. From spending hours in those classes which taught me life to walks around the serene school campus filled with “walk in a line” command from our PT staff and our notorious escape from them, I grew older, stronger and sharper. I still think of the days we spent late evenings for practice for our sports day and annual day, I think of the days when I felt responsible for the victory of the house I headed, I wander in thoughts about the skills and values I inculcated when I was chosen as the head girl of the school, and feel grateful for all that the school has given me. With too many happy memories that boosted my morale and some sour ones that have made me stronger, my journey in Yuvabharathi is what that has made me the person I am today. Nishtashri S., Class of 2015, Yuvabharathi Public School, (Masters in Marketing at ESADE Business School, Barcelona, Spain) Director of Emerald Jewel Industry India limited.
I am Nishta Srinivasan, 21, director of Emerald Jewel Industry India limited, heading for masters in marketing in the 3rd Best college in the world for the same.
I didn’t mention all of the above to boast about myself, but to proudly highlight the fact that I’m here because of my Alma mater, my support system.
I will always and forever be “one of the shining stars of Yuvabharathi”.
