1. Tell
us more about your role and responsibilities at your college?
As
the Vice President of Students' Union I
have worked for the Welfare of students
with the help of other post holders. We together try to resolve the issues of
the students of our College.
We have to work as a link between the students and
the administration, making sure that their problems and grievances are properly
addressed.
2.What's
it like to juggle between a leadership role and normal college life ?
"College
itself is a time when you're figuring
things out", according to me there is no conflict between both the roles.
College is all about exploring yourself to the fullest.
You get to learn so many life experiences and
as students we should always try to take up these roles for our own all round
development.
3.What
have been some of your biggest challenges and learnings from what you do ?
As
Union Member, I had to do various tasks which were full of challenges and on
this post I have learned that we cannot keep everyone happy at the same time.
This post has taught me to be punctual and responsible towards my job.
I also
learned how to handle any complex situation. It has taught me to never give up
and keep trying until you get what you want. We should always be hopeful and
optimistic about things, no matter what.
4.
Do you enjoy the kind of influence you hold at such a young age?
Of
course I do!
I
always participated in all the events of the college and and tried to fulfill the responsibilities given to me. I
risked the elections because of my
experience which I gained after working in so many events.
After winning the
post I had to work hard to make up to the expectations of the people who chose
me. I always try not to disappoint them,
I feel satisfied and happy after doing my work honestly and sincerely.
5. What are your career goals and how is what you are
doing is going to help you with that?
I want to be a judge and this is my childhood
dream. I like helping the needy and solving their problems. I want to do
justice to those who cannot get it due to poverty and lack of social equality.
The leadership quality I got from this
prestigious post will definitely help me to be successful in my life.
6.
What did you do in your current role that makes you feel really proud of
yourself?
As an post holder I learned a lot about how to organize a successful program
and how to be patient and calm in
different circumstances, how to find solution to problems.
I'm proud that I never ran away from the problems. There were times when we really had to struggle to make our
event successful but I always tried that I and the rest of our team should not
give up and think of ways to get out of
these problems by remaining calm.
7.
What's your message to encourage students to do internships and attend
conferences ?
Until
we practically do any work, we can't get proper understanding of it and
internships provide the best ways to gain practical knowledge about any field.
Conferences
teach us how to make our life and future better and successful, what mistakes
are not to be made and also how to learn from our own and others mistakes.
I
want to say to students out there, try to make most of this time and
explore new things, don't fear the consequences. It will help you in the long run.
