Aiming for Success

The girl whose name often appears on the Highest Honor Roll list, Ankita Ray, is one of Schutz’s most distinctive students. She has been a member of the National Junior Honor Society and is currently the president of the National Honor Society. Ankita has attended Schutz since first grade. With every experience she has gone through, Ankita Ray grew to be the person she is today. After graduating, she plans to attend college in the U.S. pursuing a degree in Computer Engineering. It is certain that Ankita will excel in her profession due to her constant persistence in her work.

One thing people tend not to realize about her is that she hates being rushed. She works best when she accomplishes things at her own pace. She is very ambitious and determined but has a difficulty controlling her temper. She has a strong mind, loving personality, and a crystal clear heart. She is always out there running for positions to lead the student body. Ankita is constantly offering her help, participating in community service events. She is the president of the Interact Club. Ankita is never satisfied with what she has achieved, continuously working harder and reaching higher standards. 　

Whenever you checkout a book from the library, you will definitely find Ankita’s name on the checkout card. She spends her free time reading books and watching her favorite Indian TV shows.

She believes that her teachers, friends, and family are the ones who made her develop into the person she is today. They have given her their support when she most needed it and always guided her to the right path. When mentioning her father Ankita smiled with pride and said, "My father is my role model because he achieved his ambitions through education."

One of the most memorable times Ankita had at Schutz is the eighth grade Sinai Trip. Ankita faced her fear of heights and challenged herself to reach the top of the mountain. She will miss mostly the cozy family atmosphere that exists at Schutz. It will be really hard for Ankita to leave the Schutz gates for the last time and become distant from her beloved family. Ankita would like to advise the junior class to, "Cherish every moment; life is too short to wake up with regrets".
