The United States of America

Hey folks! I'm back with a series of posts! Sorry for being MIA, there's a lot going on. Perhaps you've forgotten me? (eh!) I hope not.




Here I am with the breaking news- I visited my dream city!!! Wohooo! So this is how it started-

Ever since I was a child, I was hard-working and determined. The obedient daughter I was; I never let my parents down. But somehow, over the years, my grades deteriorated. The more I studied, the perfect grades were a distant dream. But here I was, after all the 'mishaps' and 'fortunes', at a wonderful management school. Everything was going great- my grades started showing what I really deserve AND I was being appreciated for various skills. I finally found a place here.

It was just another day when a mail by a professor popped in. It said, - "Our college is partnering with MIT Media lab for RedX..." and so it continued. It was to take place in our campus itself and it had healthcare related projects. I was like, "em! Why not?" So I applied. Little did I know, it will give me life full of memories. I was the 16 chosen ones to be a part of the project and among the 4 students to be invited to MIT, Boston to take the projects forward. All of this? Fully sponsored!

Well, if you know me well you would know that New York is my dream city! And as fate led me, we visited New York after our official trip was over. Ah! The streets, the people, the weather, the food. Everything was perfect over there. We walked in central park, ate to our heart's content at Times square, were surprised when people held the door open just so that you could pass and the bland food was filled with simplicity and health. I loved each and every part of the 12 day trip.

Just want to thank God , my family and my school for giving me this blessed life that I was able to fulfill one of the biggest dreams of my life.

Just remember- Everything happens for a reason.
If I hadn't scored average marks in entrance exams, If I hadn't rejected a renowned IT company, if I hadn't believed in myself and applied here- I wouldn't have written this post. Just happy with my life and the people in it. Thank you everyone :) You too!

More posts coming!
Keep smiling
