My achievements

In my high school days we were grouped into four different houses and I was made the house-captain of the red house. Each house included the higher primary and the high school students which meant pupils from the grade 5 to 10. During the actual sports event, I was the captain of the football team, the basket-ball team and the volleyball team. We won all the major sports events that year under my captaincy. I also remember I appeared for the Drawing Board Examination which was not the part of school syllabus and passed with first class that year. I even got a prize in the inter-school drawing competition. I played for the inter-school football tournaments and later during my law graduation took charge to form and represent the college football team in the inter-collegiate tournaments.
