It was my final semester of BSc.I.T
(Bachelor of Science – Information Technology); all was set for me to enter a
new world when I flunked it by one paper. It was a hard hitting blow
considering the efforts I took to get in ‘Science’ stream.
Flashback: I scored 58.13% in 10th which didn’t qualify me to take
‘Science’ as a stream for college. Science had always been the most fascinating
thing for me since childhood; answering all my questions of ‘What’, ‘When’,
Why’, ‘Where’. I was low on my self esteem but I was ablaze with determination
to get myself back up, to reach where I want to be. Back in those days there
was only one window from where you could switch from Commerce stream to Science
stream, i.e.: by taking Mathematics & I.T (Information Technology) as
subjects. It was a tough journey considering taking the Commerce stream due to
Math, which was one of my weaknesses. However, with my resolve and guidance
from my professors of both college and classes I achieved to switch to BSc.I.T
with sparkling 73.67%. Yahoo!!
Back here I was again in a similar
situation after many years. Though I cleared the paper but I still needed a
boost into my career which could wash out my flunked paper blot. This
particular year was most critical in my life as it was up to me to stand up on
my feet – INDEPENDENT.
It was somewhere in the start of
January 2011 when my mother read an article of C-DAC (Centre of Development of
Advanced Computing) affiliated centre Vidyanidhi Info Tech Academy widely known
as VITA. They had organized a 15 day free trial sessions showcasing their
strength in teaching and what you will learn from their corporate class
trainers. I took this chance and attended all the sessions. The first thought
that came in my mind after attending sessions was ‘I want to be their student,
to posses more knowledge from this ice berg whose tip I saw in just these 15
days’. I moved forward giving their LET (Late Entrance Test) and was delighted
when I cleared it. I was more than happy to be a part of this institute unknown
to the fact that it was going to be my ‘turning point’ of life.
15th February 2011 the journey started in
VITA. 8am to 8pm was the gruelling schedule, 6 days a week for a period of 6
months. This timetable made VITA my second home as I only use to go home for
rest. I was focused and firm, leaving my past setbacks behind to #StartANewLife.
Knowing it very clearly that this
was my last chance to invest in my education. I put in every ounce of my energy
into grasping the knowledge which was flowing unaltered from the genuine
masters of the various technologies.
Using a 4 in 1 (blue, green, red and black) pen
to jot down every word with its significance had become a new style of writing
notes. Paying undivided attention and asking countless questions to faculty not
even sparing management earned me a pseudonym ‘Mr. Inquisitive’. This 12 hour
routine not only prepared me with the knowledge which I need to posses but also
injected endurance in me which was much needed in the field of career which I
chose. One moment which boosted my self esteem to a whole new level was that I
was made project leader of team. Including 8 friends from the batch of friends
of 45, which we call VITA Feb’ 11.
Headache, ulcer and less time spent
with family were my bruises. But all of this was soothed by the flawless and
ever ready to help management at VITA to reach my ultimate aim of having my own
home by achieving my goal of getting a job.
This unmatched journey of knowledge
and joy was silently erasing the blot in my life polishing my skills and nature
to shine bright. The completion of my post graduation here in VITA was marked
with 60.32% in my academics and A+ grade in my project along with a job in my
hand!!
I couldn’t thank enough to VITA so
chose to rhyme a token of gratitude for them and present it with a hand-made
greeting.
Whoa!! Recalling this rejuvenating
memory has filled me with yet another new found confidence and power to take on
the world. Many thanks to https://housing.com/ for giving me stage to experience these memories once
