Chennai: There were so many problems/ distractions that the students had to overcome this year while facing the Plus-Two exams that were conducted in March. There was the December deluge that washed away many a student’s dream of a bright future and then there were the distractions created by cricket matches.
But yet, many students have fared brilliantly with Nivedita N of New Prince Matriculation Higher Secondary School, Adambakkam, bagging the overall third rank in Tamilnadu.
Nivedita, who secured 1,193 marks, getting centum in commerce, economics, business maths and accountancy, and 199 in Sanskrit, says, "I owe this success to my parents, teachers and my school principal, V S Mahalakshmi."
But, her father, Natrajan, said his daughter earned this success as she worked extremely hard, studying even eight hours a day. "I bought her 100 foolscap notebooks for writing, and she used to write and practice her lessons repeatedly,’ adds Natrajan.
He also adds that "Though I expected more than this, I am proud that my daughter has secured a State rank amidst the tough evaluation this year."
Nivedita’s ambition is to pursue CA, and she is currently attending CPT classes at Shankara Institute. Loganathan, corespondent of the school, says, ‘Nivedita is a very bright student and we expected her to secure a rank in the SSLC exams, too, which didn’t happen due to poor correction.’
DISTRICT DISTINCTION
Adambakkam has another distinction: Harinaaraayan from DAV Matriculation Higher Secondary School, Adambakkam, has secured the first rank for Kancheepuram district, scoring 1,191 in the HSC examinations.
I am extremely happy with my result, and I sincerely thank my parents and school teachers,’ says Harinaaraayan. He said his ambition was to become a computer engineer, and he would work hard towards it.
Harinaaraayan’s father Shankara Narayan says that "My son used to study a minimum of three to four hours daily, and his hard work has paid off." V Rajendran, principal of DAV Matriculation Higher Secondary School, said, "We are happy that our student has secured a district rank, with Tamil as his second language."
He said there were 41 centums from the school overall, with 13 from mathematics and 11 from accountancy.
