Despite his many accolades, Mr. Saju holds a deep, enduring affection for his alma mater. In his own words:
“When I think of VSSS, all my profile vanishes and I realise that I am just a student in a cobalt blue uniform, eagerly waiting for a chance to once again experience the wonderful time I had during my school days. Life is always challenging, and managing it in a righteous manner is what we learned from our school.”
He expresses his gratitude to all his teachers and non-teaching staff, acknowledging the vital role they played in his personal and professional journey. Mr. Saju also emphasizes the significant responsibilities that rest with the alumni association in contributing to the growth and well-being of the school and its community.
We salute Mr. Arasharial John Saju for his remarkable achievements and for being a shining beacon of the VSSS spirit!
