Aditi Nethi
Discovery of my
Passion & Inner Self
Hey! I’m Aditi, a 12-year-old student at Coppell Middle West from Texas, USA. My journey to finding my passion was anything but ordinary. It all started when my family decided to sell our house in Ohio and begin on an adventurous journey to India to start a business. Little did I know that this decision would reshape my entire perspective on life and set me on the path to discovering my true passions.
Before our move to India, I was an average student with a close-knit group of friends. I wasn’t interested on making new friends or interacting with a wider society, but India was about to change everything.
Our journey began on May 3rd, and by May 4th, we had arrived in India, ready to face a new world. School in India was about to start in about a month, which meant we had to quickly find a school that met our needs and would grant me admission for 5th grade. We visited around 10 schools, but none of them seemed right for us. The challenge lied in the fact that Hindi was compulsory in these schools. You might me wondering, what’s wrong in learning Hindi? Well, the problem was that I didn’t know a inch of Hindi, and in 5th grade, the expectations for Hindi was reading, writing, and speaking. Forget that, I didn’t even know how to say “hello”! (Which is Namaste). So, my family and I had an idea: What if the school allowed me to skip fifth grade and go straight to sixth? This way, I could start learning a different language from scratch. To our surprise, the school agreed, and my educational adventure in India began.
The initial excitement of starting school was quickly replaced by the harsh reality of the academic rigor in India. The curriculum followed the IGCSE standards, and I soon found myself drowning in coursework. I had to memorize and write more than I could have ever imagined. The pressure was immense, and I cried almost every day after school. I was on the brink of giving up when I found an unexpected source of support – my teacher, who had started as a stranger but became my best friend. She held my hand through those tough times, teaching me valuable skills in handling pressure and navigating challenging situations.
My hard work paid off, and I graduated from sixth grade with straight A’s. But the real surprise came when the principal presented me with an award for being the most versatile student. I later discovered that my teacher had recommended me for the award, showcasing the power of mentorship and support in one’s life. My teachers dedication and support is what fuels me to this very day.
In seventh grade, I began to shift my focus towards my future and my newfound passion – business. I had always been a competitive person, never backing down from even the smallest challenges. I joined public speaking to enhance my communication skills and started to seriously contemplate my career path.
Eventually, my family returned to the United States in search of more business opportunities. It was during this time that a powerful idea struck me. I realized how fortunate I was to have parents and a teacher who supported my dreams. This led me to think about children who lacked the resources to attend good schools or lacked the knowledge to become successful entrepreneurs. And that’s when the concept of Entrepreneurology was born.
Entrepreneurology is my vision for a business that solves these two problems. It offers affordable, supportive, and proven learning materials to help young individuals kickstart their entrepreneurial journeys. I believe that every aspiring entrepreneur deserves a chance, regardless of their situation.
Additionally, I have a dream to share my love for chess with the world through a YouTube channel accessible to all age groups. Chess is not just a game for me; it’s a passion that has taught me valuable life skills, including strategic thinking, patience, and perseverance. Through my channel, I hope to inspire others to discover the beauty and benefits of this timeless game.
This is just the beginning of my story, a chapter in a book that has many more exciting pages to unfold. I’m thrilled to start on this new journey of empowering youth through Entrepreneurology and spreading my passion for chess with the world. Thank you for joining me on this adventure, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds!
