Anwesha Kapoor
Anwesha Kapoor | Salwan Public School, Rajinder Nagar, New Delhi

I am Anwesha Kapoor, a 17-year-old high school student studying humanities at Salwan Public School, Rajendra Nagar, New Delhi. I’ve been an active participant in athletics and basketball competitions in school. My hobbies include painting, travelling and binging movies/series. My immediate future includes studying law and brushing up on my skills to become a successful corporate lawyer. Growing up, I’ve always truly upheld the values of ‘Seva-Paramo-Dharma’, passed on to me through generations. I understand that “the true mark of a leader is the ability to impact people’s lives and uplift them” and therefore exhibit the right skills and mind-set to become an active change agent in society/community. I’ve always been up for helping others, be it volunteering to help my fellow classmates and friends in curricular and co-curricular activities or lending a helping hand to the needy and down-trodden! I would like to thank my family, friends, and school staff for helping me to imbibe the values of honesty, simplicity, discipline, and hard work that helped me become the best version of myself. I wish to use my gifts and talents to help others in the future that awaits!
