could not have achieved this if it weren't for my
parents and teachers who constantly guided and
encouraged me. Despite the sudden transition to
virtual school and all the obstacles faced through
online learning, all the teachers did their best to
provide quality education and always made
themselves available to our needs. They gave us
regular assignments, worksheets, kept doubt
sessions and even gave feedback on the areas we
had to improve. Apart from school, I did not go to
any coaching or tuitions, so I had to mostly rely on
self-study. Making my own notes for each chapter
and revising them every day benefitted me
immensely as it helped me retain information
faster and for longer periods. I also made sure I
took enough breaks whilst studying as I knew that
studying for long hours did not necessarily mean I
studied effectively. Moreover, solving as many
sample papers and question papers as possible
gave me a clear idea of the type of questions, their
level of difficulty, and time management. Lastly
and most importantly, believe in yourself as it's
the very first step towards success.

I would like to thank my parents and teachers for their support. Although there was a lockdown it
did not hamper the spirit of our teachers to teach us and they left no stone unturned to ensure we
clearly understood the concepts online. The worksheets and mind maps helped us to grasp concepts
clearly and the classroom activities proved to be the much-needed break from the monotonous life.
Since we were at home it gave me more time to learn and revise things. I am glad to be a part of such
an institution that helped me to make my dreams come true.
