When I was a freshman in high school, I knew exactly what I wanted to be in my life. I was very ambitious and had very clear goals – I wanted to go to an IIT. But being from Shopian, I lacked the support and guidance that I needed. After RTSE I moved to Srinagar and joined RiSE. I can say that RiSE changed my life for the absolute good. They provided me with the necessary guidance and resources not just for JEE but for all the exams that could possibly lead me to my goal of becoming a good engineer. Now that I am a sophomore in college, I think back and realize how much the teachers at RiSE have done to make sure that the struggles I faced to shift to a different city, and everything that comes with it, don’t go to waste. They made sure that I make something out of myself and for that I will always be indebted to this institution.
