Exchange Program to Netherlands

I participated in a student exchange program at Alfrink College, Netherlands, where I collaborated on a human rights project. It was my first experience travelling alone and learning true independence—managing myself, my time, and my decisions in a new environment. Working with peers from diverse backgrounds taught me cross-cultural communication, teamwork, and global awareness, while also reminding me of the importance of sanskaar, respect, and embracing diversity. This experience deepened my understanding of empathy, inclusivity, and the power of collective action in addressing social issues.

Crochet

I began learning crocheting after my 10th grade IGCSE exams as a way to pick up a productive skill. Over time, it became a creative outlet where I could express ideas and experiment with designs. The process was deeply therapeutic for me, and the resilience and problem-solving skills I developed through it also strengthened my bond with my little sister. Crocheting taught me to persevere through challenges and find joy in creating something with my own hands.
