Mystory@Sahana Roy: What I gained from my college years
I had always been a back bencher; failing to clear all the subjects throughout the year. In the last semester exam, I managed to score the minimum marks to get promoted. This was one of the parts of my academic life till Class 12.
After Class 12, I noticed all my friends applying to different universities and colleges while I applied to only one university and that was Banaras Hindu University(BHU). I remember one of my friends telling me that I would never make it and that I should apply to lesser known colleges. Just as I was about to lose all hopes, the results were declared and I got selected. That was the first time I ever felt confident.
When I joined the college, I was excited as well as intimidated at the same time. On my first day of hostel, I remember everyone boasting about their early achievements, their academic marks and prizes that they won in different competitions. Hearing all of it I felt small in the group as I had no achievements to talk about. I acknowledged the fact that luck can get me here but it won't take me any further and I had to work hard. So, I participated in almost all the college events, bagged many prizes and most importantly gained my confidence back.
About the Author:
I am Sahana Roy. I have completed BA Economics and MA Economics from Banaras Hindu University(BHU). I won't say that I am successful yet but I know that I am on my way to become one! I love travelling and making friends. I believe all the knowledge is not necessarily found in books. One should get out of their comfort zones and get real life experiences.
