She is a student in the ninth standard and has achieved much in this Covid period. It has been a time of learning and achievement for Asila Jaques. In the time of lockdown, she has achieved many awards and prizes at state, national, and international level.
Asila said “I have been included in the Noble Book of world records for participating in multi events and been mentioned for being multi talented this year. Last year I won the International Peace Matrix 2020 (poster making). Recently I won the Kala Gaurav art excellence award, organised at the national level.”
Asila is a product of her times. All these achievements are due to contests conducted online but her talent and IQ shines right through. Asila says her elder sister and her parents have been her biggest motivator. She said “My mom and dad are the first pillars of my success, they always encouraged me to give my best in everything I do. They helped me to develop my skills and bought out the best in me. I was always inspired by my parents, family members and teachers and this was what led me to success. I always worked hard to achieve my goals. I will admit I was surprised when I made my 1st attempt at the international level and won”. She has also been appointed as an international peace ambassador. She started winning prizes when she was 13.And in just within 1 year of covid 19 pandemic I have achieved many awards and prizes at state, national, and international level”.
