From Quite start to Confident steps.

Dedicated to our knights,

How does it feel when you sow a few seeds and, on an ordinary morning, stroll past the patch only to find a tiny sapling pushing its way into the world?

It’s a quiet kind of magic — almost ecstatic in its own gentle way.

That is exactly how we executives felt (especially Jeet, who has seen this organization from the moment it took its very first breath) when we watched our knights on Annual Celebration Day.

I tried to recall the shy freshmen (9th graders), the hesitant sophomores (10th graders), the quiet juniors (11th graders), and the slightly confident seniors (12th graders) I had met during one of our earliest events. But those memories blurred instantly, replaced by the sociable freshmen, determined sophomores, outgoing juniors, and empowered seniors standing before us now.

Honestly, I expected it to be one of those events where we’d have to nudge our knights to step forward — a simple come‑eat‑talk‑and‑leave kind of gathering. But you proved us wrong in the best possible way. You surpassed every expectation. It was unmistakably your event, led by you, driven by you, and completely owned by you. A full role reversal, and a beautiful one at that.

From hosting the games, to emceeing, to managing the setup and food — you handled it all with confidence and grace.

With your parents present, watching you take charge and run the show was a clear sign that you’re on the right path. Thank you, knights, for making us proud. Every small gesture — asking if we needed help, stepping in without being asked, wrapping up with us — did not go unnoticed. These are the moments that speak volumes.

This is the kind of spirit we hoped to see at every event we’ve shared. And as they say, there’s no feeling quite like watching them live the lessons you once only hoped would take root. Your actions are the proof that every effort mattered.

Wishing you all the very best, and hoping to see you take on our upcoming events with the same zeal — leading the way, learning as you go, and even teaching us a thing or two along the journey.

Thank you.
