Mumbai: Varada Vaishampayan, an arts stream student at the Ramnivas Ruia Junior College, Matunga, scored 95.5% in HSC exams.
Expressing her happiness, she said, “My parents were overjoyed with my result. They are proud of me.” Taking inspiration from her mother and grandmother, she aspires to pursue a career in literature and study Sanskrit.
“They introduced me to this language through the prayers and mythological stories. I plan to study about it in Ruia college,” Vaishampayan added.
Apart from Sanskrit, Vaishampayan is curious about psychology.
Talking about her preparation, she recalled relying on self-study for six to seven hours a day, throughout her course.
“Quitting social media, creating personal notes, practice tests and college lectures helped me prepare better,” Vaishampayan told The Free Press Journal.
Mentioning that her parents were her biggest motivators, Vaishampayan thanked them for their support. “They created a conducive environment for me to study in for which I’m thankful to them.”
