I started writing this post in the second week of March while on a break from studying for my ICSE Board Examinations. My aim was to write a post to be thankful for all that has happened and to remember all that happened in the past year. The post is slightly long and involves a lot about me, myself and I. Please do bear with all the self - praising and if you get bored, I would understand why you closed this tab :) School: My time in Sishu Griha Montessori and High School finally ended after thirteen and a half glorious years.
