Thanking the god
almighty for his wonderful blessings he have
given through out my life. I was an
introvert person form my childhood where i
grew up with my parents in Qatar. Later on
after my 8th grade, I stepped down to Kerala
(Gods own country). From their onwards my
life changed upside down. I joined in
St.Ephrems School, Mannanam where I build my
life, where I chased my dream and where it
make me understand that, what i capable of.
As a basketball player i joined in the
Ephrems sports academy, which is carriying
on by Rev. Fr. Antony Kanjirathinkal
(Director of Ephrems Sports Academy). It was
a dream come true moment when I joined in
Ephrems Academy. As sports hostel, it is
famous for the best coaching & for engraving
National & International Players. By the
grace of God I became the first player from
Ephrems Academy to wear the jersey for
Indian Team, playing FIBA Youth Championship
in Malaysia. A player always need better
facilities for improving and polishing their
skills. Ephrems Academy have all those
facilities that a player needs, and the
management is bringing the academy to
international level. Ephrems Academy changed
my identity not only through the game but
also as a person, to be a good human to the
society. As a alumni I know how the hostel
was and where it is standing now as the best
sports academy in national level. The
results of the academy is a crystal clear
example for that. Academy is rich with lot
of international and national players now
and its still producing more. It was my
second home because of the support from the
management, teachers and non - teaching
staff and the director of sports, Rev. Fr.
Antony Kanjirathinkal made me much comfort
to be a hostler. Their support and love was
a vital role in my career as a sports
student. At the same time along with sports,
academy is also giving the same kind of
attention to the students in their studies
as well. The previous results from the
academy shows its importance. I can assure
that the academy can bring up my fellow
brothers to greater heights, if they have a
true passion to chase their dreams. I wish
all the best for the academy and I am
thankful to the love, care and affection
what the academy has given me till date, I
remain.
