Parimal Mitra Smriti Mahavidyalaya: How My College Helped Me Shape My Future in Journalism

What makes my college and course a perfect combination

I completed my graduation from Parimal Mitra Smriti Mahavidyalaya. I chose Hindi as my course because Hindi is not just a language but a way of expressing feelings. I took the Hindi Honours course at this college because the teachers were very well qualified and the faculty quality was very good. By choosing this course, many paths opened up that would make my future bright. I want to become a good Hindi-speaking citizen in the future, and along with that, I also want to be a famous Hindi news reporter. For dreams like these, choosing a Hindi course at this college was my best decision.

My Path to Choosing the Course 

Listening and reading Hindi was not just my hobby but my passion. In Class 12, I got the most marks in the Hindi subject. After that, I wanted to read and know about all the history related to the Hindi subject. This is why I chose Hindi Honours for graduation.

While pursuing my graduation, I also worked as a Hindi news anchor for a news channel. After completing my graduation, I am planning on doing my Master's in Hindi Honours so that in the future, I can become a good Hindi news anchor. I am proud that I chose the Hindi course to brighten my future and make my dreams come true.

My Passion for the Course

My first guru is my maternal grandfather, and I am carrying forward his tradition and giving more importance to the Hindi language. That is why Hindi is in my heart and soul.

The Impact of College Life on My Growth

After going to college, my whole life changed. I came to know which direction I should go in the future. I learned a lot from my college, and the teachers were also very good. My teachers encouraged me to follow the right path.

My College Experience

It was a wonderful and amazing experience at the college. I used to spend much of my time in the library, since I enjoy reading books. I chose this course because I see my future in it, and it helped me in improving my personality.

My college journey began with a mix of excitement and nervousness. I vividly remember my first day on campus, the sprawling lawns, and the bustling student life. Little did I know, these years would shape me in ways I could have never imagined. I also participated in extracurricular activities such as badminton, cricket, and table tennis, and I always attended events like festivals, concerts, and guest lectures.

The friendships I forged during college are among my most cherished memories. Late-night study sessions, spontaneous road trips, and countless hours spent in the campus cafe created bonds that would last a lifetime. One particularly memorable tradition was the annual cultural festival, where students from diverse backgrounds came together to celebrate and share their heritage.

In my college journey, I realised how these experiences shaped me into a more confident, knowledgeable, and compassionate individual. The lessons learned and the memories made will continue to guide me as I embark on new adventures. My time at the college was not just an educational milestone; it was a transformative chapter in my life.
