A lot of hard work, patience and determination and a number of interviews finally completed my Mba dream. I landed at one of the prestigious colleges and life encountered a different kind of thrill. Down to one week of induction and I had witnessed a plethora of emotions by now. It felt like you have to do everything at once. The life became a sea of opportunities and everyone wants to seize it as soon as it is possible. Everyone wants to do everything. People are tired and have their plate full but they will still volunteer for each and every thing. The peer to peer relationship is extremely competitive yet sweet. So it’s a very enrichening kind of experience. I want to share something a particular day and maybe the incidents leading to it.
I am talking about the Class Representative(CR) elections. So we were told that we have to elect one class representative for each section who will act as a point of contact between faculty, clubs and committees and students and basically all the activities that will be going to happen in the campus for the next two years. It is a post of extreme responsibility and that person needs to look after the welfare of entire section. So a round of discussion among friends that who are going to stand for the elections and what strategy needs to be followed. Ultimately I decided to stand for the elections.
So in the run up to the elections, all the candidates have started taking initiatives and started doing something which they consider important to garner more and more support. Then came the election day. The senior council was there to facilitate the election process. We had to give our presentations and talk about what we can do which will be followed by question and answer. After all the candidates will be done, then election will be done. So we were four candidates in all and I was the last one to present. It was a tough presentation as this was the first one I was going to give in this campus. I was nervous and the presentation started on this note. So after all this is done, vote started and when the results came, to everyone’s shock it was a tie. So for the tie breaker, rest of the two candidates were told to go back and re-voting bean between me and one other person. Finally, the new results came and I was the winner. So this was an amazing experience and I learnt a lot with all these new experiences.
