School days definitely form the foundation years of life. It was during the years spent in AIS Saket, I underwent transformation in every sphere-physical, emotional and social. It brought a dramatic change in my life. Amity is among those select few institutions where a lot of stress is laid on nation building and values are instilled for life. Amity grooms you to become a global leader who is committed to the welfare of not only their nation but the world. This teaching came handy when I worked as an ambassador of national and international organisations like Teach India and Childreach International. Amity means friendship and it was during my school days I started to value my friends and their friendship even more. I miss the time I spent with my friends Ishan, Himanshu, Gaurav and Bharat in canteen gorging on bread pakodas and ice cream. The decision to join AIS Saket was the result of my passion for biotechnology. It was under the guidance of teachers like Dr Neerja Haleja and Suman Negi ma’am I could develop interest and basic understanding of biology and applied sciences. My class teacher Ms Alka Saxena not only helped me with my studies but also guided me on the problems of life. I deeply value the bond that I struck with my teachers. Presently, I am working as a junior Researcher at International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (ICGEB), New Delhi, India under India’s Leading Scientist Dr Chetan Chitnis, in the field of Malaria.
