I am a boy. I am twelve-year-old. My name is Deepak. Deepak means a lamp which gives us light in dark and it also shows the way at night. I am proud of my name. My grandmother gave me this name.

I live in Delhi. It is a beautiful city. It is the capital of India. My mother is a housewife and my father a serviceman. My parents are very kind. I have a brother and a sister. My brother is younger to me by eight years. but my sister, Preeti, is older to me.

My brother’s name is Alok. We live in our own house. It is beautiful with a big lawn and a small garden. There are swings and slides for plant and trees. I love gardening. My parents also help me with gardening.

I go to school on the bus. It is about 9 km away from my house. My brother and sister also study in the same school. It is a government model school. I learn many things in school.

We also play games. I have many friends. But Garima is my best friend. She is my class-fellow. She is pretty and intelligent. Sometimes she comes to my house. I also visit her house on holidays.

Her mother is a teacher. Her father is an officer in a big company. When I grow up, I want to become a teacher. This is my first and last wish to teach students.
