“From grade 8th, my aim was to go abroad and pursue studies. I
got into biology. After completing grade 10, when COVID began,
that's when my mother introduced me to dexterity global. At that
moment, we were searching for colleges and counsellors who would
help me get the colleges I wanted. So I applied for a carrier
development program at the age of 16. It's a three-month program,”
he said.
“That's the major factor I got into Case Western Reserve
University. Case Western had produced 17 Nobel laureates. So now I
will be pursuing neuroscience,” Vedant added.
The student said that the assignments given in school boosted
his confidence.
“In dex school every week we had to do a few assignments which
boosted our confidence and independence. We also had monthly
assignments where we have to select opportunities, competitions
quizzes in which we have to participate in. Recently my team from
Dexterity, we have won the climate competition challenge,” he
said.
Giving out a message to children, he suggested them to focus on
extracurricular activities besides focusing on academics.
“My message to the kids is that don't focus mainly on the
academics, yes it is an important part of education, but apart from
that focus on extracurricular and strength, that's what the
colleges see. An overall resume of self should be built that
include extracurricular and strength and weakness,” Vedant
said.
He further said that he wants to become a surgeon.
Vijaya Lakshmi Anadwade, his mother said that it is a proud
moment for them as her son will pursue his passion.
“He wanted to be a kid who does everything since childhood, he
wanted to play, music, study. Now he is getting an opportunity to
do everything,” she said.
“He is able to pursue his passion with other things also and we
got a good scholarship of Rs 1.3 cr, it's not a full waiver but
still a very good amount of scholarship we got because of his
resume which he built very strong as he joined Dexterity, it gave
him a very good platform of what he has achieved today,” the mother
added.
She further said that every child is born with something special
and the parents need to find out what it is.
“Let the child be free, let his things come out. Every child is
born with something within him, as a parent, we need to find that
out. Give an overall development to the child,” she said.
