Like every child, I went through various phases of life. I was 9 years when I asked my mum for piano lessons. My mum greeted my passion politely, knowing that piano lessons are quite expensive to afford. Cut down, I joined for Piano lessons at The Trinity College of London. My joy knew no bounds when I was enrolled as a student in a prestigious college.
As I grew up, my parents encouraged every interest of mine, and I was perpetually neck-deep in my busy schedule, juggling my academics and extracurricular activities. My sports portfolio was highlighted when I won the “Swimming Individual Championship” twice in my high school years and also when I secured medals in the UAE zonal level which led me to participate in the National meet held in 2018 and 2019. Hand-in-hand with my athletic and music pursuits, I was constantly involved in the school student council and strove to meet the expectations of the council through active participation and meetings.
My phases taught me ‘strive until you find’. I was drawn by the limitless possibilities I was able to explore and achieve. On the road, some, or I must say, most of them have been a turning point of my life in one way or the other; the most important being it gave a surge of confidence as I savored the taste of triumph. It made me understand what I was capable of and read the word ‘impossible’ as ‘I’m possible’.
