 Happy New Year 2014 Stand strong The year has been incredible and unforgettable for me with countless memories to treasure for life. I was accepted to be a part of the training program to become a climate leader by the Former Vice- President of US and the Chairman of Climate Reality Project- Al Gore in Chicago during my summer holidays. The next thing I knew I was in my dream city, New York, at the United Nations Headquarters, where I stood on a global platform and conducted an hour-long workshop on the Millennium Development Goals. One of the biggest surprises for me in this whole year was being on a billboard in Times Square, New York, for 100 hours! The most rewarding experience for me was living through my organisation, SynergY, growing day-by-day. Though I and my team faced many challenges, we continued to have the passion and commitment towards our society and a sustainable future. I couldn?t have had a better year and I am grateful for all the good things this year had to offer. Throughout this journey, I learnt that there are many things and people who can bring you down, but it?s up to you if you want to sit down after that or get up and start over again. It?s always the hardships and the obstacles that inspire me to think bigger every time. It?s always the achievements that motivate me to try harder every time.
