I
could clearly recapitulate my first day at Amity as it was just the day before
yesterday. When I first joined amity, I was in profound dismay why I had to
leave my school, my friends and enter this entirely strange environment. There
was an internal conflict going within me whether I have joined the right
institution or not because everything at that moment seemed to be strange. A sequence of unfavorable events kept on
occurring on my first day. Finally when I had realized that the ratio of guys
to girls in our class was almost 30:1, I kind of started ruing the moment I had
decided to come to Amity University to pursue my technical degree in Mechanical
and Automation. All in all, my first day at Amity didn’t turn out to be in my favor.
As
the days passed by, I made many friends and got familiar with the campus and
faculty members. In the first semester I was quite perplexed as I found it hard
to understand how our system worked and the significant role that “ Amizone “
was going to play in the next 4 years of my life.1st semester passed
without much zest and realization as most of the times I was out of the campus
with my school mates.
And
then came the second semester and I started going to classes regularly as
attendance was the sole weapon used by faculties to make us sit in the class.
The entire environment was full of enthusiasm and zest because of a thing
called “Amity Youth Fest (AYF)”. Even I was very much excited regarding the
fest because I hadn’t attended one ever before. The second sem was a bit
relaxed as I had made some friends and it was comparatively a shorter semester
implying less assignments, less lectures and so less work.
The
semesters then passed by as if I were blinking my eyes. Looking back to what I
was and what I have become, I see a whole new self of mine. I have grown up, a
lot out of my experience. If I look back, I was an immature person who believed
in having lots and lots of fun with my friends, unbalancing the relationships
that existed in my life. To this journey of Amity, precisely being an Amitian,
what I feel is a self-mature lad enough to take my own decisions, listen to
people, take their advice whenever needed, have a good network and work with
them. Amity has taught me a lesson that probably I couldn’t have realized and
that is “It’s your life, make it or break it”.
Last
but not the least, I along with my fellow mates has grown into a self of
dignity and respect with heads up in the sky and feet still on the ground.
