CONNECTING CLASSROOMS

2. Hey! I’m Chahat Goel of class 10 studying in
Apeejay School, Pitampura. My father is a
professional consultant and my mother is a
teacher. I’ve a younger cute brother studying
in grade 1. As every girl at school, I liked
dancing but becoming older my interests
changed. I like reading books and hope to
learn one foreign language! However what I
like more is playing tennis. Whenever I get
time I grab my tennis racquet, go to court and
play. I’m truly Indian by heart. What I value
and cherish the most in my life is my family
and friends. I de-stress myself by listening
music and well movies are a eye candy for
me!! My goal is to pursue a career which
would enhance my leadership qualities.

or full moon nights. I like my name and I
love full moon nights. I live in Delhi,
India. And I love my country too. I know
we are amongst the poor nations but
every nation has got problems they
need to cope up with. I prefer to see the
best in everything that I guess is the
way to be happy in your life. Not to crib
about stuff and accept what comes our
way. I love to explore things out. I like
quite places and prefer to spend my
time there rather than partying.

personal piano as I believe, “If Music be the food of love, play on….”No doubt
I also like to play badminton, tennis and cricket with my friends. As far as the
indoor games are concerned, giving a check mate to my opponent is really
interesting in chess. Coming to the food stock, I am a great foodie… both
home cooked as well as junks attract me a lot. Munching chocolates is really
an eternal bliss but not to forget, health matters the most. Algebra and
Arithmetic may seem to be scary to people but they are my forte in
Mathematics.Well, I hope the above information will be apt enough to know

interacting and taking care of children with
special abilities which gives me immense
happiness. Through this project, I will be
able to better understand the customs of
other countries and adopt these diversities
leading to global understanding.
As a proud Indian, I have learnt to
respect elders and help others.

become 16 on
November 7. I am a
10th grader. I live in
a nuclear family. My
parents are working
and my elder
brother is pursuing
bachelor of
technology in
electronics.
I am quite adventurous,
love to explore things
(but not my textbooks:
P). I am fond of
travelling and
experiencing new
environment. I'm a fun-
loving person. I like to
hang out with friends
and watch movies. I

15. Oscar Wilde once remarked “The aim
of life is self – development”.
My name is Dhruv Suri and I am 17
years old. I am a great admirer of
Mahatma Gandhi and have always
believed in simple living, high thinking. I
always strive hard for believing in
myself and celebrating challenges. I
feel that real god is nowhere in the
skies but inside all of us. The idea of
celebration for me is a good piece of
literary work under the shade of
pleasant weather! I love nature, maybe
owing to the passion of my father for
wildlife since his childhood! I love to
study humanities subjects. Equally I
love to walk long distances, cycle,
spend time with my family, play cricket
and soccer and discover new people.
As said by my friend Ayushi Goel, India
may be a poor country but nowhere
else in the world you will find people
with such rare hearts. I want to
become a civil servant when I grow
up and a more responsible person in
my life.
