Paridhi Gupta

"This is Paridhi Gupta. I passed out from St. Raphaels H.S. School in the year 2015 after being a part of the Raphaelite family for 14 years. I cleared my Chartered Accountancy exams in August 2019, all in one go. I am currently working as a Management Trainee with Vedanta Resources Limited (Gurgaon). What I am today and what I will be, I owe it all to my Alma Mater and my teachers who have always guided me through every query that arose in my mind and every decision I had to take as a teenager. The strictness, the discipline, punctuality, perseverannce it all seemed a bit too much during school times and I could not understand back then how missing a single class was a great loss for me, but then it was never about that lecture or that single class I missed, it was about inculcating those values, those teachings being given to us, having regularity in the things we do and learning the importance of a well organised life. What we learn is not just from those course books that are universally printed, but those ideals that are imparted by our teachers. Apart from our curriculum, we have been taught to always help others in need, do whatever least we can do for them. I would say I still abide by those teachings in whatever small ways I am able to. I’m a proud Raphaelite and will shine among the others wherever I go."
