What inspired you to become an educator?

Teaching is a profession that gives satisfaction and joy. My parents have motivated me to become a teacher. Teaching as a profession involves creativity, thinking and good communication skills. It gives you an opportunity to profoundly impact the lives of the children. I enjoyed sharing knowledge with my friends during college and school time. Gradually, my dream turned into reality and I got wonderful opportunities to serve one of the best schools of NCR. As a teacher, the process of learning is never ending. I am proud to be a teacher and would continue to influence many lives in future.

What do you love the most about being a teacher?

As a teacher , I love the constant learning process, that is bestowed upon me.

The one change you would like to bring in the current education system.

Schools and institutes should focus more on the development of the students individually. They should teach values and manners along with course book curriculum. Gradually, the system is changing and many new technologies are added in the curriculum which helps the students to improve their skills.

Your message to your 21st-Century-students.

Dear students, always believe in yourself. You have the ability to do any kind of work. So, be confident and work hard to realize your dreams.

A special story, memory or message that you want to share.

I have many memories with my students, But the memory I will always cherish is the time I spent in Gujarat trip with my group of 10 students. I has been an amazing trip and it brings smile on my face. The students were very caring and we developed a beautiful bonding on the trip.
