Before I start, I would like to thank Arjun for passing the mic.
I made the decision of coming to Kodaikanal International School soon realising that I
would not have to attempt the IGCSE exams in my previous school. What was
supposed to be just another 2 and a half years in my schooling life was going to be
transformed into a proper lifestyle which started off with a group of brothers who
would soon set out to turn KIS into a full party scene.
I had very cool roommates through the course of my time here, some of them even
being Tik Tok stars who would get thousands of views and raising our clout levels.
Everywhere we went, Class of 2020 would stay lit, be it quad shot and poondi.
Lunchtime near the CC would always be the best of times, and classes soon became
more bearable despite the load of work that we would only remember until we were
reminded of it, which ruined our mood the rest of the day.
Aside from this, I will never forget Lochend, a party away from home where everyday
would bring something new for us to fight over or celebrate. Birthdays soon became a
day that no one wished to come, because at 12 am the worst and best side of lochend
would come out, with the morning smelling of raw eggs and cake through the halls of
lochend and the never ending war for slippers which showed our true colours as
friends, but doing all of this crazy stuff together was what made our dorm one of the
most recognised dorms in the eyes of students and even staff.
Being part of the football A-team for the two years with the dream team is something
that I will always keep close with me, winning the Ooty tournament 2 years in a row as
well as the Kodi Open being back to back champions. I would like to thank the class of
2020 and teachers for making KIS one of the most unique experiences for me and
something I can never forget at all.
I can now proudly tell my kids in the future that nothing is impossible, certainly
because I have successfully completed 4 years of high school without attempting any
board exam. Countless memories have been made with each and everyone one of
y'all and I can't mention each and everyone one of you cuz it's too long, so I just want
to say to everyone that I love y'all and stay lit

I wanna start off by thanking Marc for passing me the mic. I would literally
never admit this but KIS had changed my life in a way that no place would.
My experience in KIS would not be as good if it weren't for my friends. I
joined Kodi in 8th grade and I can't believe that my journey in KIS is coming
to an end. My life in the past 5 years has been a roller coaster full of ups
and downs but I believe that one day I’ll shoot up like a shooting star
(thanks Tiaakum for the amazing quote).
My journey in KIS wasn't a good start, but one sleep over changed
everything (thanks Pranay for inviting me). I want to start thanking my
parents for sending me to this wonderful school and also all the sacrifices
they made for me. I wanna start thanking my friends Zeejid, my roommate
from 9th grade and my brother from another mother.
Thank you Basketball team and Mr. Ambrose for making my journey in B-
Ball soo fun. Thanks Akum for giving me the motivation to sing on the first
night you came. Thank you Kush for cooking with me at night. Thanks Arjun
and Uday for being with me and helping me in Mumbai. Thank you Arubi
for making my HS so special and always there to help me, I have no words
for you (you’ll be missed).Thanks Marc for doing my work for me. Thanks
Haryansh for being dumber than me.Thank you Arya for being with me and
giving me advice for a lot of stuff. Thanks Aditya for playing with me. Thanks
Manav for motivating me to work. Thanks Pranay for inviting me to the
room. Thanks Kushaal, Ishaan, Awad, Micah, Jacob, Domi and Aydn for
everything and it was fun knowing guys.
Thank U IndiaSquad for making PUBG more interesting (I know I’m the
best). I want to end it by saying:
"LIFE IS A ROLLER COASTER AND ITS FULL OF UPS AND DOWN YOU MIGHT
NOT BE IN THE TOP BUT DON'T WORRY YOU'LL SHOOT UP LIKE A
SHOOTING STAR IN NO TIME."
I would like to pass on the mic to Tiaakum.
