‘Classes via phone nightmare’
“I used to take classes via my phone at first. I couldn’t follow the lectures most of the time since the images/visuals vanished or became pixelated. It also caused fatigue and eye strain because I had to put in more effort than other students. It was a nightmare. Things became easier when we were given laptops. I was nervous before the exams, but now I am relieved,” said Viety who scored 55%.

‘Lost grandparents’
Ayush Ambaliya from TEACH was going through the trauma of losing his “biggest supporters, my grandparents. But their memories and support of our teachers encouraged me to prepare for the exam. I was nervous, too, but overcame the fear and cleared my HSC exam.” He scored 61%. Both Viety and Ambaliya wish to pursue BCom and then do a course in Information Technology.
Muskaan Sheikh and Aarti Vaze from Sneha Sadan passed their HSC exams with first class. “I want to be independent. I am studying hard so I can become a doctor in the future. Now, I plan to appear for NEET,” said Muskaan who scored 69%. Aarti wishes to become an IPS officer to “put a stop to all the atrocities against. I want to become an honest police officer and prevent such crimes.”
