In today’s world, we see a lot of hatred among people at various levels – personal, professional, social and religious.

However, I am grateful to God for giving me wonderful parents, who have always taught me the ideal of religious tolerance and respect for every individual.

My parents are my role model, because they teach me the values of honesty and other principles of life which will guide me in the path of success.

My mother Gayatri Das is the perfect mother as she has taught me to respect elders and love the family.

My father Ajay Das, who works in a private company, is my guiding force as he has taught me how to differentiate between what is right and what is wrong.

Apart from my parents, my teacher Bandana madam is another role model in my life. I want to become a good teacher like her.

I am very fond of her and find her inspiring for the way she treats all students in the classroom equally. She also teaches us the values of dedication, discipline, responsibility and perseverance.

Education is the key to expand our horizon and contribute for the development of our nation.
