I am a lucky girl to have got a chance to be in the first batch of students of Horizon Lanka. Oh! It was 9 long years ago. Then I was a primary student in Grade 4. It would have only been a dream to learn computers and English this much if not for Mr. Nandasiri Wanninayaka starting the Horizon School. He sacrificed a lot for Horizon Lanka. The first batch consisted of 20 students. I was among those 20. Everybody calls me Radhika. My full name is Radhika Nilupulee Rajapaksha. I am 19 years old and born on 14th of April, 1988.  

I did my Ordinary Level Exam in 2004 and I got,

English A
Buddhism A
Health A
Sinhala A
Mathematics C
Social Studies B
Science S
Art C
Commerce C

I sat for My Advanced Level exam in 2007 and my results are:

Buddhist Civilization A

In addition to that I learnt web and graphic design through Horizon Lanka Foundation. I got a chance to learn web and graphic design at Eurocenter DDC in Colombo. I have been worked as the project manager of e-village project and worked for Horizon Lanka website 2 years. And also I designed the Eurocenter Sports club website as well. I designed digital maps for a local company in 2005. 

 Family
I am from a farming family. There are 5 members in my family. They are mother, father, sister, brother and me. My brother and sister are older than me. That means I am the youngest in my family. Ours is a small family and we live peacefully and happily.

Hobbies

Hobbies are activities done in order to keep us happy, and fresh and to develop our mind. I also do many things as my hobbies. They are collecting stamps, dancing, reading books, playing cricket, enjoying with my friends, speaking in English and photography. And I also like to listen to English, Sinhala, Tamil, Arabic and Hindi songs. I didn’t really like to collect stamps earlier. Anyhow, I am doing it now as Mr. Gamini Akmeemana of Daily Mirror taught us how to do it. We receive stamps through Horizon School. I like to play cricket very much as I get a chance to play with my friends. I like fielding and bowling. That is because I like to exercise my limbs than to stagnate at the crease. Speaking in English is a very good hobby and we can improve our English knowledge by doing this. Reading books is the best way to develop the mind. And I like to gain knowledge about the world. And also I like to know about archeology and space. Not only that, I like to read story books as well. My special interest is dancing with my friends at leisure. Dancing is my favorite hobby. I can dance to Sinhala, English, Hindi, Arabic, Ballet, and Bangra songs. And I also like photography very much. I like to live with the environment and catch beautiful sceneries with the camera by experiencing the environment.

Ambition

Like others, I also have an ambition. I like to become a Web Designer. If we have a good understanding about web designing and creativity and shrewd thinking, we can go a long way. Now I can design web pages and graphics. And also now I can design some animations. I can design web pages on a commercial basis too. You can get your webpage designed by me if you want.

Education

We all need a good education in order to succeed in our future. I like to learn all the subjects, but I like to learn English, Mathematics and Science very much. And also I am doing my studies properly. I like to face term tests. Through examinations we are able to measure our capacity and refresh our mind. I learn computers, English, science, mathematics, music and dancing at Horizon School. I like to study in the Horizon School. We learn to speak in English at Horizon. We video our speeches and discussions and watch them again. We can improve our knowledge by doing so.
