Gratitude, Growth, and the Gift of Teaching
Today, I am grateful. Today, I am grounded. And today, more than ever, I am committed to the beautiful calling of teaching.
Today, my heart feels heavier—in the most beautiful way.
Not with burden, but with gratitude.
Receiving the #TeacherOfTheYearAward2025 from UCOST (Uttarakhand State Council for Science and Technology), ONGC Limited, and SRADSTA (Society for Research & Development in Science, Technology and Agriculture) under the 6th Dehradun International Science and Technology Festival is a moment I will cherish for a lifetime.
But this recognition is not just an award; it’s a quiet whisper from the universe reminding me why I chose this path… and why this path chose me.
Teaching has always been more than a profession. It is the one thing that has consistently lit up my soul. Long before degrees, awards, or titles, there was just one simple truth—I love teaching because I love watching my students grow.
the late nights of planning and preparing,
the constant learning, unlearning, and relearning,
and the unwavering belief that education can change the course of one's life.
Every classroom I’ve walked into, every student I’ve interacted with, every challenge I’ve stumbled through—they have shaped me in ways no textbook ever could.
I often tell my students that they are capable of greatness, but the truth is… they are the ones who taught me greatness. Their resilience, their curiosity, their dreams—those are my driving force. My students are not just learners; they are my purpose.
To everyone who has been part of my journey—thank you for standing with me, cheering for me, and reminding me of the power of sincere work.
Achievements like this don’t happen in isolation. They are built through countless hands, countless hearts, and countless moments of kindness, guidance, and faith.
As I hold this recognition close, I feel not pride— but responsibility. A deeper responsibility to keep showing up with sincerity, courage, and hope.
To continue shaping minds, touching lives, and creating learning spaces where every learner feels seen, heard, and valued.
