TANVI UTTAMCHANDANI

Tanvi's personality and genuineness makes her who she is, it makes her stand out amongst the crowd. I've known Tanvi for 4 whole years now, & I am confident when I say that its hard to find someone like her today because not only is she always honest, she is always there whenever her friends need her, she stands up for herself & doesn't feel the need to explain herself to others. These are few of the qualities in her that inspire me to become more like her, because thats what makes her the strong headed woman she is today.

Just 1 word doesn't do justice to the amazing person that she is so I would describe her as loyal, trustworthy, understanding & strong.

I met Tanvi in the 8th grade when she just shifted from Cathedral to BD. I remember thinking she was weird because she was always so jumpy happy & willingly spoke to everyone around her, but this is what started our extraordinary friendship. Although we’ve had quite a few ups & downs through the years, I’ve always had respect for her because she's 1 of the most optimistic people I've ever come across who despite going through so much in her childhood & teenage years, faces each & every problem with immense amounts of courage & adjusts in every possible situation, no matter how bad or tough it gets and never gives up, & I think this is extremely commendable. She inspires me in more ways than ever because despite all that she's been through -having to watch her parents fight, go through a divorce as a little kid, having been in a toxic relationship but managing to come out stronger than ever, having to lose her best friend over something petty, having to watch her closest friends break her trust & drift away from her, she never fails to make the people around her smile laugh& enjoy her presence.

Tanvi’s someone who's all about 2nd chances because despite the persons character, she always chooses to see the best in them. Ive watched her get hurt when someone extremely important & close to her broke her trust, but despite this, she chose to see the good in the person and is still best friends with that person today. This is another quality that I hope to gain from her.
