Hem Sheela Model School ESTD. 1995

Amik Mandal (IX) our very own home grown student has zoomed his way to California, USA to receive the honours conferred on him by NASA for his outstanding project on space on May 2013. Here Amik shares his memorable experience – My Dream way to NASA The day was 21st of May 2013 I got my VISA issued for the dream destination. The International Space Development Conference was going to commence from 23rd May at Hyatt Regency, La Jolla, San Diego, California, USA . I and my father had very short time to reach there. Hastily we booked our tickets , boarded the aircraft and reached San Diego on 22nd May. Next day the rising sun brightened my ever aspiring dream to come true when I got the chance to listen to the lectures of various scientists from NASA and accumulated the precious knowledge pebbles on space and universe. The following day was even glorious when I received the honour of a photo session with Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam ‘The Missile Man’ . And that was not all, because I was among the few fortunate qualifiers to receive Buzz Aldrin’s autographed book “ Mission To Mars” from the author himself. Finally the gala moment arrived when I was honoured with Certificates by NASA and NSS for my Project – NASA Space Settlement. It was a week long enriching experience when I received the opportunity to meet scientists around the world. My dream wouldn’t have culminated if our Honourable Chief Minister and so many other personalities had not supported me financially. I also extend my heartiest gratitude to my school who awarded me with two years of free education for my success and also gave me Rs. 1 Lakh as my travel expenses.
