"Beneath Your Wings, we Grow to be Divine" I still fall short of words when I have to talk about my Alma Mater, the feeling of being called a Raphaelite makes me feel so confident about myself. It's been 6 years since I passed out from Raphael's, I graduated in the year 2015, today when I look back and talk to my younger self, I feel so fortunate to be a part of such a prestigious institute. At Raphael's we've learnt to be persistent, confident, to be honest, we learnt feminism here way before it came into existence. Talking about my personal experience of studying at this institute, I'd say that this has been the best 14 years of my life. The amount of kindness that we have incorporated within ourselves during our academic tenure, I don't think I could have got a chance to learn it any better if I would be at a different place. I am Content Marketing Head at Project44, Chicago a company known for Supply Chain Management. It's been 5 years in the industry and whatever I am today as a professional, I owe it to my school. I completed my Graduation in English Literature and did my MBA in Supply Chain Management, little off beat career leap, but I knew for the fact that my roots have taught to take a leap of faith and believe in your capabilities. To the students here, the young Raphaelites, I just want to tell all of you reading this, Mark my words, the moment you are closer to leaving this space, you will always stand out in the crowd as a Raphaelite always. I know you must be cribbing about the discipline, the strict rules, the "MANUAL WORK", trust me it is building you for better. Once you hit adulthood and are driven by its's responsibilities further, you will realize that the school made you capable in every manner. Just, value what you possess the academic and non-academic staff here is together making sure that the students perform to the best of their potential always. I still have immense amount of respect for each one of them. It has not only the inculcated good values but also, gave me a group of friends who I proudly call the Raphaelite family that still strongly supports each other in both good and bad times. When I am talking about various reasons that why do I feel so overwhelmed being a part of this institute, that is because I have always felt right to be a part of the premises for much more reason, be it positive aura or the warmth that we feel beneath wings of our Alma Mater. There were times when I had to choose a different school, not once not twice in fact thrice and every time I thought about spending my rest of the school life somewhere else it used to shake me up because I would lose a lot of what I learned, If I leave in the middle. As of now, I am an Independent Artist and currently working on doing stellar work to excel there, I can play guitar, I can sing, I can Dance. And now I am all set to launch my art merchandise by the end of the year 2022I completed my Graduation in English Literature with substantial experience as an IELTS and PTE coach. Being young and energetic, emerging technologies attracts me to the core- blockchain, and crypto being the most recent ones. I also have been a regular contributor to news pieces and insightful articles related to these innovative arenas. Along with that, I am also working as an content marketing head at Project44 Chicago. I owe it all to this institute for making me who I am today. The values incorporated within us throughout our school life is something that we are going to follow for many more years to come. I am extremely grateful to the each and everyone at Raphael's including our Non-Academic staff for being the humble most group of people who have been encouraging us to be better and self sufficient every single day. Sincerely, Ruchi Brahmbhatt Batch 2015
