1. Being the class monitor in 8^th standard. Well, it was the position that allowed me to boss over my co-students coz I was being bossed over at home (myself being youngest at home) and become the favorite student of teachers. Though it appears so silly now, the sense of responsibility of a class monitor is very memorable.

2. The accolades I got for perfect organization of farewell party to seniors at Inter-college …come next to my mind. With all the back biting of reluctant students………gave me a sense of perfection in organizing a 4 hour programme so many students of college. This gave me a boost, that I can do so many things apart from studies…manage funds, prepare invitations, arrange for refreshments, select dance programmes, organize game shows, host the programme, look into comfort levels to seniors, lecturers and what not….every small thing made a big difference……. All the stress I took for the programme was worth it….

3. Securing “Topper of the year” award from the Inter College………….this was like expected one, but being invited by the college for the Annual Day programme in the next year of completing intermediate, is in itself a big success. I went on the stage..received the cup and addressed the Juniors who were eager to listen to me….first time in life, I shivered on stage..still managed to speak a few words for 3 minutes.

4. Securing 23^rd rank on national level, discussed in earlier post needs no mention again

5. An invitation from ICSI-Hyderabad Chairman to address to their students on preparing for CS examination………..enthralled me. The gathering was of some 60 students and other members of the Institute. Can I do it was what came to my mind first………..i started off with the words..…..”don’t work hard” people raised their eyebrows and later when I said..”work smart” …they took a relief. ….and the words “Aham Brahmasmi” (meaning…………am the GOD..in the context of “I can do anything for CS”) impressed upon the students a lot.

6. Securing Gold Medal for being topper in Bcom 2^nd year is though a happy moment…the happier one was being invited by the Degree college also to attend the Annual day programme in the next year of completing the college…same purpose… honouring me with Silver medal (Topper-runner up). I was a bit disappointed for missing the Gold medal but still, being invited is in itself a great opportunity.

7. My speech at the valedictory session of the Secretarial Modular Training Programme that secured me a “excellent” from the Chairman and the echo of claps for One whole minute in the hall..most memorable………….can never forget it. At the end of the programme, the Chairman commented..”pitta konchem, kootha ghanam” (small in size, but can make a mark with her voice”)
