Arts topper wants to serve the nation

Nayesha Lapalkar, a student of LAD College, emerged as topper in the Std XII examinations in arts stream by securing 509/600 (84.8%) marks. It was jubilation on the premises of their residence in Banerjee Layout as her mother Shobhna, teachers and classmates greeted Nayesha, who is in Nashik.

Nayesha, who lost her father when she was six months old, intends to become an IAS officer. She did her Std X from Mount Carmel and scored 92%. Despite her good score, she wanted not to go with the flow of other students who all wanted to either become engineer, doctors or CAs. She had decided to become an IAS officer to serve the nation. Nayesha has been receiving the general proficiency prize for coming first since schooling.

"I was confident of securing a rank but getting the city's first rank was a pleasant surprise," Nayesha said. She did not attend any private tuition as she is against such a practice. "I owe this achievement to my mother and teachers," she said, acknowledging the contribution made by each one of them in her achievement.

Asked how she prepared for the examinations, she said it was intense, but more of a revision. "She has been a consistent performer since day one," said proud mom Shobhana, who works in an insurance company. However, she had also stopped watching TV and did not see any movies during the academic year.

Apart from studies, she is also good at badminton player and also done many school and college level skits. She wants to take admission in BA in Mumbai.
