“My
school days at CMS”- Dr Raj Mehrotra
It is a
matter of immense pleasure, privilege and honour for me to
be conferred upon the esteemed Fellow of CMS Award for
which I shall ever remain grateful to the school
authorities. This act of kindness from the Hon’ble
Founder-Manager of the school shall go a long way in being
source of light for me in guiding myself through the
intricate pathways of truthfulness and serving more and more
people in my life.
I always feel pride in being a part
of huge CMS family that has always been a great source of
inspiration, encouragement and strength to me. The high
moral values, self-discipline and manners inculcated in us
during our stay at the school
have always been a strong guiding force. It is the
value system inherited from here which is now helping me out
to make critical decisions and stand through the hard times.
I owe so much to my ALMA MATER that it is impossible for me
to repay it.
We, at CMS, were always encouraged
to experiment and be creative. Our teachers used to be
always behind us to provide useful tips and much desired
valuable suggestions to our day-to-day problems in different
areas of studies. Their evaluation and advice showed us the
right kind of advice in various disciplines and achieve high
ranking. Never did we feel overlooked or neglected by the
graceful teachers who always wanted us to excel in
everything. On several occasions, the teachers used to
overstay much beyond school hours for guiding and making us
achieve high targets set for us. Even the problems, which
were not directly related to our studies, were given a
patient hearing because of which we always felt closer to
our Teachers. These sweet thoughts of yesteryears refresh us
and make
us feel to bow before them for all that we have received.
It is
here besides gaining quality education, the
importance of building all round character, personality and
values were taught to us which not only broadened our
horizons but also equipped us with an international outlook
and global vision. The love and affection received by us
from everybody always
prompted us to improve our performance The big posters
displayed on our class room walls saying DISCIPLINE FIRST
,STUDIES AFTERWARDSand
the memories of the Morning
prayer with five minutes speech by our own fellow students
still inspire me a lot. The novel thoughts imbibed
through such kind of platforms have laid down solid
foundation in us which is now acting as a key for achieving
success in all our endeavours.
I would like to thank all the
school authorities, principals and teachers ever and
ever again for giving us all that isneeded to become a good citizen and to achieve high
goals.
It
shall be a privilege to be associated with the school
forever and serve it at every conceivable opportunity.
