Dream gifted, Destiny found

The rising sun and take away darkness from everything it touches. No matter how severe a pain is, time can heal everything strengthening you on the way.
Having lost his mother, mentor and teacher Sunita Singh at the age of 23, 30-year-old principal of The Emerald Heights International School Siddharth Singh has built himself on her footprints and stands among top educationists in the country.

Sharing his journey, Singh talked about the transition in his life and how he handled them. “I had completed my masters in business education in marketing and finance, when my plans and life fell apart,” he said.
He had been studying in America in Stony Brooke University, Long Island, when his mother Sunita fell sick. “I wanted to pursue a course in hospitality and construction to build my career in the same stream,” Singh said, while discussing his ambitions.
However, when his mother was attacked by cancer, he decided to head back home. Dreams are not what we want, but they are realities that make us happy and ignite the fire of passion in our lives.
“As I lived on the campus, I helped her out and discovered education to be my love over ambitions,” Singh said. He started working under his mother’s guidance as her assistant.
“Sadly, I lost everything when she passed away and cancer overpowered her,” Singh said. He was baffled by the loss and felt depressed.
“Parents and teachers helped me in taking over her (Sunita’s) responsibilities, but the loss of my mother caused a hollow in my heart,” Singh said. Taking over responsibilities of the founder was not an easy task in fact for a person with non-education experience it seemed impossible.
“I had to train myself, I visited every school I could across India and America to understand how a school functions,” Singh said. His hard work paid off as his ideas brought in results.
“However, I mourned for my mother and refused to take her office for four years,” Singh said. Finding his strength, he stepped into her office as she had wished for him.
“She was an energetic and free person, whom I always looked up to and even argued with,” Singh said. In the last seven years, he realised that his mother was ultimately right about everything.
“School was her dream, her life and she passed it on to me as a legacy, so living her dreams has become my passion and life,” Singh said.
