Alumni Home / School Life Megha Chawla – Class of 2010 Human Resources Manager, Amazon Location: Utah, USA When I think of Scholars, I think of it as home – a place where we learned, laughed, and grew. Right from the beginning, there was always a push to balance out studies and extra-curricular activities which honed my personality and brought about traits that would never have been possible if I had only been scholastically inclined. Right from playing sports to swimming to school dances to debates, I did it all. It also gave me my squad of friends and we’ve all been together since kindergarten. Such were the bonds of friendship formed. I will also contribute any success in life to our teachers who put in the hard work to get us to where we are. Overall, words can never express the gratitude I have for this school and what it has done for me. Siddharth Varerkar – Class of 1999 IT Management Specialist U.S Consulate, Dubai Location: Dubai, UAE Dubai Scholars laid a solid foundation for who I am today. They gave me the opportunity to learn a lot but at the same time form friendships that lasted me a lifetime. From dramas to concerts and dances, our extra-curricular calendar was always busy, pushing us to become confident and better versions of ourselves. My professional career as a copywriter is because of the care my teachers took to polish my creative writing skills. I also left with invaluable friendships that are still strong today. An irreplaceable sisterhood that is carrying me across different chapters of my life. The Scholars blue, white and yellow walls will forever hold a lifetime of memories for me. Mehak Chawla – Class of 2007 Senior Global Supply Manager, Tesla Location: Palo Alto, USA I couldn’t have imagined a better school than Dubai Scholars to lead to where I am and what I have become today.
