"I am Rituja R. Rao. I am from Pune. I am 16 years old and I am studying Arts in Fergusson College. I am a diehard Feminist and I believe that women are invincible. The aim of my life is to make a considerable difference to the women of whole wide world. SHEREOS is my first step for this quest of my life. I am determined to make myself as strong as I want to be. I am Debater by nature. I never give up; I will try till I die. I have always been a survivor; a winner. I always speak up for what is right no matter what consequences I have to face. I never take no for an answer. I believe that there is always hope no matter what and you just need to keep working hard. I love meeting new people and making friends. I am typically a social butterfly. I am also extremely ambitious. I have been a Head Girl to my school. I have attended many leadership programs. I have won numerous debate and elocution competitions at National and international levels. I won the South Asian Finals of Horlicks WizKids in 2012. I am currently interning at 3 different organizations. I am also working with two NGOs. I am a Freelancer with the Times of India. I am a keen reader, writer and Listener. I always want to learn more. I want to make the most of this opportunity."
