I began this school year with virtual lessons - no change from last year - but after two months we were allowed to return to the classroom if we wanted. I decided to do this, because of the stress of online lessons. The amount of work I have to do has increased, and the method of learning is quite different from studying at home. It's much easier to concentrate though, and all in all I much prefer being at school. I'm happy to have returned, especially as this is my last year at school.

This year has been less difficult than last year as I've got used to the new way of learning from home. Even so, the process of learning is more difficult than when we had face-to-face classes because the teaching time is reduced and the number of distractions at home has increased. I've managed to keep my overall average about 8 and to learn as much as I possibly can as next year I have to prepare for university and I really want to do well. After all, it's not so difficult....

    I plan to grow up to be a Doctor, because I have seen many people have health problem. My happiest moment is when I was chosen to enter Form-1 after I completed primary level school. Not every child can enter Form-1, it is a privilege. I am so proud of myself. After I fulfill my Doctor dream, I will build a lot of hospitals. People can get medical services when they are sick. I plan to give back to the School Fund portion of my salary. Also I would like to join this organization to help other children to go to school and get educated.

    Harshita's father is a farmer and her mother a home-maker. She has four siblings; one brother, and three sisters. She used to attend a Private school in her village. However, when she passed her 5th class, the school closed down, compelling her to discontinue her education for a year. Harshita's parents also could not afford to enroll her to other schools as they are financially very weak. Now that she is part of Milaan's Swaachna Learning and Resource Center, Harshita is more than happy to study. She aspires to be an Officer in the Indian Army because she wants to do something for her nation and her family. She wants to make her parents proud of her.
