Life at SZABIST- 2007 to 2011

It may sound childish but what followed was not short of life changing experience.  I never dreamt that what four years at SZABIST could potentially offer. A little confused, I learnt slowly yet made some wonderful friends along the way.

Work was only part of what was being offered. Perhaps what stands out the most was my  changeover in terms of lazy worm to work alcoholic; walking to nearby restaurants in 1 hour breaks to have lunch and the filled journals with photo copies; student card not helping in busses, rainy days, overworked, the list goes on. A shift from the cozy lifestyle to reaching home at 11 p.m. or beyond, getting lost in report making, presentations and hourly’s, exposure to the real world, blending in with new friends and  finding my myself.

I still remember my first lecture at SZABIST which was of Business Communication and how I felt.  And realizing the need for change from that mere class.

Above all, it was an experience worth remembering, where I learnt to take negative & positive criticism, step out of the soothing zone and see things from different angle. Little did I know about the corporate world outside my limited comfort zone. But the class rooms, the people, the deadlines, the late nights, the moments of motivation changed all that for the better.

This and much more has definitely changed me and my perspective towards life for the better. And I would happily do it all over again not just once but as many times required.
