It was during summer classes that were happening in a nearby school that I went to, known as Rajasthan Modern Perfect School. It was a relatively smaller school than the ones that I went to later. I met Ms. Dr. Nathawat. She was the principal's daughter and she was working as a dentist in the army. She was visiting her mother and got her mother convinced to check us up for any cavities or brushing habits. She checked us up and guided us how to brush teeth and how to take care of our teeth as well. That was when I got to know how essential oral health is for us. Because of this reason, I later on took a liking to dentists as a profession and chose dentistry as a field to pursue. I can proudly say that right now I am working as a dental professional since last one year. I got to meet her again when I visited my principal who was sick last year. I told her about my admiration for my achievements I made with Slime Colors and the way I am working right now and how good I feel about it.

A person who impressed me the most in primary school would be my childhood best friend Shraddha. We live in the same building and we went to school together. And I have known her for 10 years now. And she impressed me because I was amazed by how she could balance extracurricular activities like sports and music and dancing along with her studies. She was really exceptional at her studies and she used to always outrank me and get better grades than me. And along with that she was the captain of the football team and she used to be in the dance team as well. She is a really talented person and she used to often encourage me in making me participate in these activities. And her constant encouragement is what led me to participate in Karate which is another activity that we used to do together. Not just in school, even when we used to play in our building, we used to do cycling together and play sports like badminton or just jogging together. She is still my best friend although we don't live as near right now but we do catch up every week over call or over text messages. And we catch up on our lives and she is still very much dedicated to her sport as well as her studies which is really impressive for me.

So, when I was in the 10th grade, during my school days, there was this boy named as Mojtaba who I admired the most, simply because of his confidence and his attitude towards anything and any aspect of life, be it professionalism, be it extracurricular activity, be it sports, be it different types of adventures that the school used to take us on. So, his particular personality, I used to be very intrigued by his personality and I got to learn a lot from him. So, how I knew him was that one day I was in my computer class learning coding and we both were not able to understand a particular code. So, the teacher did explain it to us and he had two or three different ways in which he cracked the code much more easily and he understood that particular code very easily compared to all the students of the class. So, his personality has been, you know, a learning experience for me and I have grasped a lot of things while being with him during my school, primary school days. What I would say that his personality is something that should be followed by most of us and it gives a positive view towards life and helps you be successful.

Good evening to all. I am Vaishnavi Radhakrishnan. I am here to describe a person who impressed me in my primary school. I studied in Kerala. When I was there, I met a student who is my classmate and he is literally a nice guy. The main aspect that impressed me is he is very calm as well as he is very respected to women. Also, whenever he starts a speech, he is like, hi, hello, how are you, like that. Respective or manner is what they use. So, I like that concept.

Band 6

The person I admire the most is my primary teacher who is very affectionate and compassionate. I met her in my primary school during my childhood and she was my mother teacher and she supports and guides me very politely. She is very supportive to the students and she is very calm and cool in nature. She always supported and guided the students very well and she studied us in a very playful manner that is her best quality and she looks always looks us with a very pleasing and smiling face and her writing is very good so whenever she writes on the board she looks more her writing looks more clear and that conveys the direct message to the students. I can still recall her way of talking, speaking and reciting the poems so that was a mesmerizing personality for me. I love her teacher and I recall whenever I thought about the past.

The one person who impressed me very well in my primary school was my teacher English teacher her name is GC and what the main advantage of her was her teaching skill, her lovely approaches to students and she loves children. During in my primary age she's a great support for me she cares for me and she has a very lovely approach to me. She always give playtime to children and if any children in a sad she comes to the children and talk why are you in a sad mood and if need to call her parents or children parents she will arrange a call and give proper counselling. The way of her teaching was so impressive it's like a metacognition method so thinking from ourselves and it helped a lot of students to think in a way of creative mind so creative way so in my opinion such teachers are very important to our society she helped me to increase my logical reasoning creative thinking and almost the all children of that school so that kind of teachers are very important to our society I think I would wish or want to see that teacher again and tell her thanks for her great support

Hello, my name is Sonora. And today I stand here to talk about my friend. When I was in my primary school, I was very much fascinated by one of my friend, one of my closest friend, her name is Nirmika. And she was very kind and she was a very helping person. She used to help each and everyone in the class to solve each and everyone's problem. She was like a support system. She used to work as a pillar. But as for me, she was a very supportive person. And I used to admire her the way she supported everyone, the way she did not look down to anyone. For her, everyone was equal, the boys, the girls and the way she was confident about how she spoke about what she said, like the things what she liked, and she did not like she never hesitated by thinking that boys are around me and I should not get the equality. No, she never did that. She was always confident about what she wanted. And as I said, as I mentioned before, that she used to help people. And for that reason, I used to admire her because I being an introvert person, I am never you know, open to the person I don't open myself to anyone very easily. But looking at her, looking at her, seeing her confident made me think that even I can do that. Even I can help people. Even I can stand for myself. Even I can tell people that what I want and what I don't want. Even I need not to hesitate about the things that I want.
