Independence Day

Independence Day Celebration 15th August 1947 is the day embossed in the golden history of India. This year we celebrated our 75th Independence day with great spirit and enthusiasm. The celebration commenced with the unfurling of the national flag by our beloved principal Dr. Vandana Gupta. Students presented a medley of dances, patriotic songs and poems, all the while showcasing their love for the country. A quiz was conducted for teachers and students, where we could flaunt our knowledge about our nation. This allowed us to appreciate the diversity among different people and cultures. Students of grade 10 performed a wonderful skit displaying India’s social progress over the years. The cherry on the cake was the adorable performance by the students of pre-primary, where they dressed up as various freedom fighters and touched us with their patriotism. The celebrations came to an end but the idea of freedom, faith in the nation, and pride in our Motherland will always remain in our hearts.

Self Confidence Self Confidence is the only Sword in the battle of “A winner is a dreamer, who never gives challenge. Self confidence, at first is not given by up” – By Nelson Mandela default. You have to develop the quality. It can never leave you abandoned in the time of need. It is the boat that takes you across the river of fear. Challenges are sometimes difficult sometimes easy. However, you should burn yourself with self confidence. Whenever you are scared, you will have to self confident. Self confidence does not come to you, you have to invite it. If you are in any challenge, first believe in yourself, and then make plans to get rid of it. If you are self confident, then you will never fail in anything. It is a golden virtue, when your self confident, then you are stiff and strong in any situation. When you see a person in fear do not forget to remind him that he should be self confident.
