Filled with apprehension and curiosity I joined Maneckji Cooper School in 1982 and 40 years hence, I can safely say that it is my experience and learning during my school years that is responsible for where I am today. The cultural diversity, the core values, the focus on overall development along with academic rigour provided a balanced environment for me to grow. The confidence that I developed as Head-Boy while addressing a large audience keeps me in good standing even today when I address national and international conferences. I thank my teachers
and the school for giving us Cooperites the roots to stay grounded and the wings to fly high.
