Teaching Assistant
A passionate science and tech student, I have been appointed as the teacher’s assistant for computer science. My responsibilities include ensuring orderly conduct for the entire class while moving to and from the lab, distributing forms, marking attendance, cleaning and upkeeping the lab after school hours, and addressing technical issues. I also moderate online tests for juniors to ensure academic integrity.
Trying my hand at diplomacy
Within the school and beyond, MUN conferences have served as an intellectual platform to discuss pressing global issues—from political strife and human rights violations to economic upheavals and climate change. I have started to appreciate diplomacy and jurisprudence. MUN has placed me in various real-world simulations and honed my ability to analyze divergent ideologies and perspectives to reach a middle ground. Overall, this democratic platform helps me strengthen my connection with the globalizing world
Cleaning Pune’s lakes
Two years ago, my school organized an event where students from Grades 6 through 10 participated in efforts to clean the shores of a nearby lake. The project, Manas Lake Initiative, was aimed at making us cognizant of the negative impact of environmental pollution. Donning gloves and protective gear, we diligently tackled waste on the west shore, cleaning up a significant portion of the bank. To me, this effort spotlighted the necessity of local initiatives to impact environmental sustainability.
