Scoring well in the board exams was a significant achievement for me. This journey was about staying disciplined and working hard, and my School played a crucial role in it.

My teachers and parents were incredibly supportive, always there to guide and encourage me.

My preparation strategy helped me to maintain balance between school, tuition & self-study. Paying keen attention in class and revising regularly helped me understand everything better.

National Heritage @Delhi

School is a place where students discover themselves. They realize their potential and perfect the skills required to be responsible citizens of India. What is an individual without their roots? A student should connect to the roots and culture of India to discover themselves.

We at Adriel High school believe that they should know about their ancestors, where they came from, how they lived, their values, entertainment, unique skills, resource utilization, shortcomings, and how a diverse group came together to fight colonial rule, etc during their school life. Our curriculum integrates Indian heritage lessons into the curriculum throughout the year. Each year, they focus on a state of India and explore it over the course of academic session.

This year, various co-curricular activities, interhouse competitions, school display boards, dance, song, and art and craft activities centered around Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Students learned about flora and fauna, geographical features, the island's aboriginal tribes, its association with the National Freedom Movement, Cellular Jail, and its history.

Similarly, last year, Sikkim was the topic of the year. The school aims to cover all states of India so that students understand the rich cultural heritage of these areas, respecting the diversity of the country. As students learn the dance and song of the region, they inevitably pick up the local words and language.

Our school also integrates multiple art forms and cultural crafts of foreign countries . We try and incorporate one folk dance, song, art, and craft from any foreign country. The goal is for students to understand how India has adopted the cultural heritage of other parts of the world, embodying the Sanskrit phrase "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam," which means "The World Is One Family."

The school hopes that its students become the best global citizens of tomorrow, remaining lifelong learners and leading successful lives as confident individuals.

The problem of environmental pollution has become very serious in recent years all over the world. Today, the air that we inhale is polluted. If we do not tackle the problem now, it can give a harmful effect to our future generation. No doubt, our progress and development is the result of industrial growth and technological advancement ,but this progress has a negative influence on the environment. Pollution makes the environment unfit for living. It has  become a health hazard.
Air pollution is one of the major ecological problems man is facing today. Air pollution is prominent in big cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Ahmedabad, Kolkata etc. where the smoke is emitted from the chimneys of mills and factories, burning agriculture stubble and noxious fumes from automobiles. Thus, air becomes polluted and we are bound to inhale such polluted air. 
The capacity of lungs in children are very weak. This air pollution causes respiratory diseases such as asthma and bronchitis. Our school announced online classes upto class 9th and it is affecting children's education. Just because of this pollution children are not able to go out and play outdoor games.

    मिट्टी एक अनमोल धरोहर है जो हर व्यक्ति के लिए महत्वपूर्ण संसाधन है । यह हमारे जीवन का आधार बनती है जिससे हमारा पोषण एवं संरचना होती है । मेरी मिट्टी ने मुझे शिक्षा दी है, मेरा स संसार निर्मित किया है ।         पीएम मोदी जी ने अपने मन की बात कार्यक्रम के दौरान " मेरा माटी मेरा देश" अभियान के बारे में बताया था | इस अभियान का उद्देश्य भारत के वीर सपूतों को आजादी के मौके पर याद करना है । "मेरा माटी मेरा देश" कार्यक्रम के अंतर्गत स्वतंत्रता की लड़ाई में शहीद होने वाले सभी स्वतंत्रता सेनानियों को श्रद्धांजलि भी दी जाती है  ।  हमारे देश के सभी स्वतंत्रता सेनानी भारत को एक ऐसे देश के रूप में देखना चाहते थे जहां सभी लोग एक साथ रहते हो, यहां पर देश के किसी भी हिस्से का बंटवारा न हुआ हो । स्वतंत्रता सेनानियों ने भारत की जिस मिट्टी के लिए अपनी जान दी है "मेरा माटी मेरा देश"  अभियान के अंतर्गत भारत के अलग-अलग हिस्सों से माटी लाई जाएगी, अवर मोस्ट माटी का इस्तेमाल दिल्ली के कर्तव्य पथ पर बनी हुई "अमृत वाटिका" को विकसित करने के लिए किया जाएगा । हमारे स्वतंत्रता सेनानियों की याद में कुछ वृक्ष भी लगाए जाएंगे । 

"मेरा माटी मेरा देश" अभियान के तहत स्कूलों में वृक्षारोपण, निबंध, लेखन, चित्रकला और कई सांस्कृतिक कार्यक्रम भी आयोजित किए जाएंगे जिसका उद्देश्य विद्यार्थियों में अपने देश के प्रति प्रेम की भावना पैदा करना है । पीएम मोदी जी ने "मेरा माटी मेरा " अभियान का सुझाव देते हुए कहा था कि इसका टैगलाइन "मिट्टी को नमन वीरों का वंदन है ।" 
" इतिहास के पन्नों से आवाज आती है, 
बहुत ही अनमोल है मेरे देश की माटी ।"

      India, the land of diversity and rich heritage, is a nation that stands proudly on its soil, its matti. The connection between the people and the land runs deep, reflecting a bond that transcends time and space. “Meri Matti Mera Desh”. 

Our matti, our soil, is the cradle of civilizations, the nurturer of life. From the towering Himalayas in the north to the sun-kissed beaches of the south, from the arid deserts of the west to the lush greenery of the east, our matti gives birth to a diverse range of flora and fauna. The verdant fields, the swaying crops, and the vibrant gardens are a tribute to the tireless efforts of our farmers who work day and night to feed the nation. 

But it’s not just about agriculture. Our matti has gifted us with resources that have fueled progress and development. Moreover, our matti symbolizes unity. India’s strength lies in its unity in diversity, and just as the soil is made up of different elements, so is our society a harmonious blend of various cultures, languages, and religions. The diversity of our mati reflects the very essence of “Mera desh.”

In conclusion, “Meri Matti Mera Desh” is not just a phrase; it’s a sentiment, a declaration of our love for the land that has nourished us and the nation. Our matti embodies the soul of India, connecting us to our roots, our history, and our aspirations. As responsible citizens, it’s our duty to safeguard this precious resource and ensure that our “Mera desh” continues to thrive on the foundation of “Meri matti.”

I want to thank my school for giving me a lifetime memory on this Rakshabandhan. I went to Soldier Regiment near Delhi Cantonment with my classmates and teachers on August 28th to tie Rakhi on our soldiers hands.I was so pleased to see all of them. Everyone seemed quite firm and disciplined. I was overjoyed when all your brave soldiers kneel down to get rakhis tied.My  friends were likewise affixing Rakis to the wrists of our soldiers. Our army brothers also presented us with gifts. We had some cake, samosa jalebi made by Rajput Regiment cook. They were overjoyed, and I could see a smile on their faces. I will be eternally grateful to my soldier brothers who work around the clock, seven days a week. I wished we had more time with them.It was a pleasure to be in their company. Seeing them wearing those uniforms and badges also sparked a dream of becoming an IPS officer in my eyes.

I have attended a workshop on 23th July 2023 led by Miss Bindu and Miss Om Sheela from Delhi Police. They told us about the cyber crime happening with today's generation. The topic was 'Responsible sexual behaviour'. She told us that most of the students are focusing and using social media instead of studies . A case was reported recently that a girl received a friend request from unknown person .  First she didn't accept the request then the unknown person  said that he was suffering from cancer .  So, she accepted the request but she didn't know that he was creating stories about his health issues . She was thinking that he was having cancer so he would die in one or two months . They started chatting on Facebook. After sometime he insisted on meeting her somewhere. The girl was having a boy friend earlier but she told she was going to meet her bestie . After some time the unknown person , the girl and her boyfriend met at the club . The unknown person mixed something poisonous in her boyfriend's wine, the moment he drank the wine , he died .
 So, Miss Om Sheela told us not to use social media ,if we are using not to use too much and not to accept the request of any unknown person . They told us not to share our personal details with anyone, not even friends . They told us the child helpline number which is 1098 . They also introduced us to an application named 'Himmat Plus' app . When  in emergency we have to click on SOS  option provided in the app PCR will reaches the location within  3 minutes .
 The experience of attending this workshop was excellent. Thank you miss Bindu and mis Om Sheela for sharing your precious time with us.
