Keralite is Tamil Nadu ISC topper
Chennai: Nothing is impossible to a willing heart. This proverb has been proven right once again by Aashika Treesa Saju, a grade 12 student of Sishya School, Adyar, who topped the Tamil Nadu State ISC examination by scoring 98 per cent marks.
"I knew I had done well, but was not expecting to be a State topper," a surprised Aashika said.
She scored full marks in Mathematics, 99 in Computer Science, 98 in Physics and 95 in Chemistry and English.
"Focus and the blessing of Almighty," she says, are the key to her success.
Susha Saju, her mother, said that she believed her daughter would score good marks, but did not expect her to be the topper the state.
"She had been systematic in her studies; but pushed herself to her best of abilities in the last few months prior to board exams. She had an avid grasping power from her young age," says her elated father Saju Chacko, a native of Thrissur.
Talking about her future plans, she said, "I was never interested in engineering or getting into IIT. The logical aspect of computer programming has always attracted me."
Aashika, the school head girl, is not a bookworm. She is instead an all-rounder who dabbles with dancing, heads the school interact club and is a delegate and moderator in the mock UN representing her school.
