I remember standing in front of a mirror in school, saying to myself, “I’m a strong, confident person” and not believing it one bit. I was passed over for all extra curricular activities and this largely fueled my insecurities.
Cut to 2001... I was intimidated by the campus, the number of students, the future looming in front of me...would be an understatement; but I decided to put my best foot forward, little knowing that Christ College would be right there with me every step of the way. Over 3 years, I saw myself metamorph. Christ College offered me opportunities, a platform, a voice- an identity.
From class rep to association secretary, I took part in association activities inside of college and represented Christ College in other inter collegiate events. I watched myself grow more sure of my footing. It helped immensely that my lectures saw and nurtured this potential that was waiting to be given a chance.
I’m forever indebted to Mrs. Swarnalata Iyer, Fr. Paulson, Dr. Priya Dasgupta, Mr. Randolf, the Late Mr. Oommen Mathew and the wonderful bunch of people I was honoured to be batchmates with.
People look back and say they have fond memories. It’s a little different for me, I don’t just have memories; I have experiences, lessons, friendships, stories....
Today, head held high, I KNOW, I’m a strong, confident, successful woman.
