“Leader is the one who know the way, goes the way and show the way”

It is an honour and privilege to be appointed as the school captain of Army Public School for the Academic year 2018-19. It is a matter of pride and joy to have been given the unique opportunity to render our services to the school through such prestigious office entitlements. So, i take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to our Principal Maam and Respected Teachers.

Educating children is not the main issue, but educating them in style, instilling into them a positive attitude towards life should be the primary task. For this purpose schools plan extracurricular activities practical laboratory education, sports etc. However, to add on to these, there is another aspect which creates a platform of practically and creativity amongst students and that is the school Magazine! Through the school magazine student get a chance to not only express their views, but also bring closeness among the school fraternity, since the Magazine is an amalgamation of thoughts of both the students and their teachers.

I truly feel that we must all endeavour in contributing our best towards the making of our School, a name to reckon with, by not only excelling in our studies but through our willing participation in various school activities which will eventually create a name of our Alma mater.

I feel proud to say that during my eleven years in APS, Allahabad, I have been taught to have faith in Almighty and in myself to face a challenge with hustle and will power. Now that i have been given the responsibility of a school Captain I am endowed with an unquenchable thirst to make a huge difference, along with the office bearers and fellow students where in I intend to learn, teach and lead by example.

It humbles me as the School Captain to promise to uphold, maintain and enhance the glory and prestige of the school by unflinching support of entire school fraternity, unperturbed diligence and unrestrained determination.

It is every student’s dream to one day be able to carry their school flag and I was no exception. Growing up, I have always admired all the School Captain and dreamt that one day I will be in their position as well. And in Army Public School, Allahabad I was able to achieve this feat as I was bestowed with the honor of being invested as the School Captain for the Academic Year 2016-17.

As much as I was humbled and honored to have been considered suitable for the position, I was also aware of the responsibilities that awaited me and the glorious name of our school which had to be upheld. Keeping all this in mind and not compromising on my academics at the same time, being the School Captain taught me how to be an all-rounder, and made me a better and a more mature person.

The journey of leading the school was a challenging one, but it was equally exciting! To be a leader of such a huge school, you had to earn respect from your fellow students as well as teachers. And I have been very fortunate to be in the guidance of such supportive and caring mentors who guided me in every step of my endeavor. My fellow schoolmates also made this journey a memorable one by showing their support and respecting and following rules. If it wasn’t for the teachers and my school-mates, I wouldn’t have grown so much as a person over the last year, neither would I have been able to take my school to greater heights in every sphere possible.

I had the opportunity to participate in the Inter Army School English Debate Competition which was held at APS Roorkee. I also participated in numerous inter school competitions held at different schools across Allahabad. All these competitions gave me exposure and built up my confidence.

In the end I would like to thank everyone who has been so supportive and believed in my abilities to let me put my best foot forward, at every opportunity. I can proudly say that my tenure has been a successful one, for my school has scaled greater heights and will continue to, for many more years tocome!
