Hena, Through The Looking Glass
I was never really a reserved child at the time of my graduation from school, even if I was raised up as pampered as ever, reason being I was the only daughter and I was in a convent school. My father always wanted me to go to a College affiliated to the Delhi University and my mother was in awe of private colleges, whilst, like any other kid, I was confused and stuck. My marks were pretty good so I was fine with anything that gave me a chance to work on and improve my marketing skills and give me a platform for a promising future. Let’s call it clear destiny that odds went in my father’s favour and I got into JMC. Upcoming years of convent again, I sighed. Somehow I got myself together and looked forward to the first day. Ever since then, till date, I don’t regret going ahead and giving this a shot because this college has branched out the best in me, literally. I’ve always had a passion of writing, and here, I’ve gotten an opportunity to present my work before people. Not only that, the teachers are so friendly so, one would feel like they’re literally being taught and no time is going wasted. Lectures can be boring sometimes, but the best part is that the teacher is very well aware of the interests of the students, so much so that she dismisses the class if the students are mentally exhausted because of the previous lectures. God forbid me if I’m making this up , because I really am not. The campus is beautiful, the location has always been my favourite as my school is also just some lanes away, so I feel like home. Besides that, the students can honestly be some drama but at the end of the day, what matters is how far I’ve gotten, not how many people have I left behind or let gone ahead of me. The college has helped me sprout my marketing skills as well, teaching me computers simultaneously for and as I had opted. It has helped me thrive my journey as a helpless and clueless 17-year-old to an almost human being of 19-year-old in no time and with inexplainable changes. It has widen my views about life and people. And most importantly, it has taught me to feel hungry for standing out than merging in the crowd, because for a student of our age, knowing ourself and our capabilities is the primary focus in life, than the drama and mess. That does not ask you of becoming a nerd. It asks you of becoming efficient and aware of your potential and have confidence in all that you do, because by the end of the day, you’re the only one who’s going to face the real world, alone.
