When I grow up, I want to be a nature scientist —someone who makes machines that help trees grow, or rivers stay clean. Student Speaker, Fun-Loving Dreamer & Young Green Hero Nivrith Sayarvar is a cheerful and imaginative 9-year-old from Grade 3D, CBSE. He enjoys playing cricket with his father near home and loves painting, especially Squid Game characters. Though a little shy, he likes expressing himself and believes in staying brave no matter what. He has recently started learning cricket and dreams of becoming a footballer someday. Nivrith is also learning to care deeply for the world around him. He believes that small acts— like saving water, keeping nature clean, or simply being kind—can make a big difference. His thoughts and actions reflect his strong belief in being a “Green Hero,” someone who protects and respects the Earth. Deeply supported by his parents and friends, Nivrith aspires to grow into a kind, gentle, and responsible human being. With a fun-loving spirit, a strong heart, and a green vision, he continues to explore, create, and inspire in his own quiet, confident way.
