Studying at The Doon School, one of India's finest boarding schools has been a transformative journey. Rich in cultural heritage and tradition, Doon offers a student-led environment that encourages leadership and personal growth. Over the years, I've taken on several leadership positions, each shaping me differently.
As a school prefect, I was entrusted with maintaining discipline and guiding younger students, which taught me the value of responsibility and empathy. I was also the BEditor-in-Chief of the yearbook, the Director General of India's largest student-run MUN, and the Round Square Council Secretary.
Doon is a challenging environment—being away from home taught me independence, resilience, and the importance of self-reliance. I began my journey here as an obese child, unsure of myself. However, I transformed into a more confident and self-assured individual through the rigours of boarding life and community support. The physical and mental discipline required to thrive in this environment pushed me to grow holistically.
Living in a boarding school is demanding, with academic pressures, personal challenges, and the need to balance leadership with studies. One minute, I played a sport on the main field; the next, I was practising 'Tabla' with the orchestra to return to my room and study for my upcoming exams. Yet, it is within these challenges that I found growth.
My opportunities to lead, contribute, and evolve in this space have shaped me into a more confident, well-rounded person. I have formed my most cherished memories while attending this school, and those would've been incomplete without my experiences as an exchange student and as a delegate at the Round Square International Conference held at Oxford University. The intercultural exchange and exposure to different customs and ways of life taught me more than I could have imagined, making me more adaptable.
