“They have all contributed to this success,” the Loreto Convent student said while divulging that she did not spend too many hours studying for the board examination.

“We don’t need to study 24x7. I had comparatively spent few hours studying during the examination, and I took long breaks in between to refresh my mind,” Meghalee, whose childhood dream has been to be a writer, said.

On her plans, she said she would be joining the science stream for her higher secondary while she was yet to decide which particular line — whether engineering or medical or any other — she will take up in future.
