To all my teachers, friends and the current students of my school...
Visiting this page left me nostalgic and made me extremely restless to express myself. In 2000, the year I joined school I recall myself waving goodbye to my family as I was thrilled to run to my first day of class. Little did I know I had already made a family here. To all those who have known many tales of how this school is, here is my version. We have heard people say, ‘step out of school and then you’ll know the real deal. This school prepared me for the real deal! It’s simply the classic combination of yin and yang. I assure you, I had the best of best-dedicated teachers who loved me immensely and left no stones unturned to mould me to the ambitious personality I have today. Ryan is indeed a little society that gave me all I needed to be in the real community. It taught me how to be bold, brave, strong, determined, dedicated, ambitious and more. It drew out the best from me. When it was time to leave, to set another milestone in my life, I was asked what I wanted to be by a very important person. I said I wanted to be an entrepreneur, a forensic psychologist and a social worker. The person responded saying that I cannot become jack of all trades and it’s best that I focus on one. That situation was a little difficult for me to be in, having several eyes staring at me, since the tone was a little harsh. But I did take it as an advice and focused on one, and that was Forensic Psychology. Today, I am one of few 30 Forensic Psychologists India has. I am an entrepreneur and also a social worker. Not just this, I am a freelancer and a motivational speaker as well. I believe, after all the focus I put in one field, made me a jack of all trades eventually. A few of us Ryanites called ourselves ‘risk takers’, why? Because those who take a risk are likely chances to excel compared to the ones who don’t. Take a risk, if you win, you will be happy, and if you lose, you will be wise. That’s one of the biggest lessons I have learnt from my school, Ryan. If you are wondering what risk is to some of us, it stands for ‘Ryan International School Kundalahalli’. And my teachers? If you are reading this... just want to say THANK YOU! I am proud to be your student. I am proud to be a student of RISK!
