“You are the master of your fate and the captain of your soul.”
The Annual Sports day of Rajendra Vidyalaya was held on 21 December 2019 at the Bodhi
Ground, Sakchi. The winter morning began with a reasonably warm temperature and the sun
illuminating the firmament.
The Chief Guest of the event was Mrs. Aruna Mishra, a renowned Indian boxer, gold medalist
in Asian Championships, 2011 World Police and Fire Games but her list of achievements is
never-ending. Her presence uplifted the spirit of the Rvians and infused within them a spirit
of sportsmanship borne out of hardwork and determination. The drumbeat rolled , the band
played and a high pitched voice issued a command. The synchronized swinging of arms and
the sound of the thudding feet stirred within us, the unmatched RVian spirit. Our little
masters of rhythm matched up their steps and displayed coordination and synchronization
in a special drill display.
This is what fairplay and spirit of sportsmanship is all about! The meet was anchored by
Aditya Kumar Singh(11-C), Swati Mahato(11-C), Olivia Sarkar(11-A) and Srotam
Bhattacharjee(11-B).
Among the boys, Pratyush Rathore was declared the best athlete in the junior category and
Abhinandan Jha bagged the title of the best athlete in the senior category. Among the girls,
Aditi was declared the best athlete in the junior category while Richa Kumari was declared
the best athlete in the senior category.
The Blue House was declared the overall Champions.
Therefore, it is rightly said that the gold medals aren't made of gold but of sweat,
determination and a hard to find trait called guts.
