Today was the grand event. We celebrated republic day one day earlier since the 26th is a national holiday. As the chief guests entered the arena, each of us saluted
Nishanth, who was the only candidate in India to score 45 in the November 2016
examinations, Mithin who got an extremely high score of 44, and their parents.
Once they were escorted to their seats, the program began. The juniors hosted
the program and the little kids performed patriotic dances and and sang
patriotic songs. Mithin was called up forward to hoist the flag, after which we
all saluted the Indian flag. Later, Nishanth was made to stand next to the flag
and we performed the march past to salut him for his tremendous achievement, and
also to carry the pride for this achievement as we all belong to the sam family
: TIPS. Thankfully, the entire batch completed the march past without any
noticeable mistakes. In fact, our trainers and teachers appreciated us for
having done a perfect march past coordinatively with the band as well. Before
the program came to an end, Nishanth gave a an inspiring speech. He said
“impatience is a virtue” which actually struck a cord in my mind. He said that
impatience is the key to learning. He also mentioned that the score he achieved
was because of the shoulders he stood on, including his family, the entire
teach faculty and his friends. I had goose bumps till the end of the speech.
That’s how inspiring it was!
