I have completed my MBA in Human Resources Management from Dublin Business School, Ireland with Honers 1 degree. This was all possible because of the skills I have learned from my early childhood from School. The most important things which I have learned from school were communication, social and developing sense of responsibility.

In my case, I was fortunate to be a Part of St. Xavier’s High school; Faculty members in our school are extremely good, supportive and knowledgeable and treated us like a Family member. The journey from an amateur student to a graduate is full of challenges, learning and patience. St. Xavier’s played a crucial role in embarking on that Journey for me. I personally feel it’s difficult to rate and prioritize experiences which later change our lives one contributes to our character. However each day spent in school remains a cherished memory. The teachers gradually became very supportive of me.I started with participating in morning assembly activities as I was a very social and outgoing child. Today I’m graduate and an MBA aspirant and undoubtedly give all my credits to teachers and support staffs for all that I’ve learnt lessons of compassion, forgiveness and encouragement to be able to face and advertise. The ST.XAVIERS HIGH SCHOOL that I started with and today seems like a fairy tale which helped me become what I am today. I thank each and every person who is a part of this temple of learning.
