To all my Students who are about to enter college,
You are about to enter into a new phase of your life, a phase which is full of exciting new possibilities, new avenues, new friends and new growth.
You are stepping out of the rigid school system and stepping into college life. You will have tremendous opportunities to learn and explore new things, both good and bad.
Remember! You always have a choice at every step. It is in your hands to select the path that you wish to tread. Peer pressure, the desire to look cool, to enjoy life ('yeh zindagi na milegi dobara', YOLO) will present you with many moral and ethical dilemmas.
Remember! Always follow your head and your heart. Before making any choice, just ask yourself, 5 years down the line, when I graduate and step into my career, would I be proud of what I am about to do or will I strive to hide it? The answer will make your choice an easy one to make.
The temptation to bunk classes, to hang out with friends at Kitlees and Gallas, to spend all your waking hours watching movies and playing games and squander all your precious time will be immense. By no means be a nerd and a bookworm, but make sure your judiciously divide your time between work and pleasure.
It is so easy to blame teachers, administration and the system for our failures. But remember, it is the same set of teachers, administration and the system that also gives rise to the toppers and achievers in your class.
The school system is all about teacher giving students knowledge. In college, it is up to the student to extract all that (s)he can from the teachers.
Make optimum utilization of the time and resources that you get at your institution.
Make us proud.
Wish you all the very best!
