Title - "Not only power but also position makes you responsible" This might sound crazy to most of the ppl. But if you are a student this is something new.
Now, what is a student's potential? To be clear, what do you mean by potential when you are talking about a student?
According to me, answer depends on the level of the student. By level, I'm referring to one's class of study.
Kinder garden - Ability to take in stuff and reproduce it.
One level up (1st to Fifth) - Ability to understand stuff and produce some defined outcomes.
One level up (6th to Twelfth) - Ability to understand stuff and produce expected outcomes. (As domain grows, reproduction is not the criteria, expectation is born here)
One level up (Under graduate) - Ability to understand more than presented stuff, ability to adapt, identify what is expected and produce that.
One level up(Post graduate and whatever) - Ability to manage time, understand oneself, identify what has to be done and do unexpected stuff (should be harmless).
I'm in my 4th year of MSE now. Considering above lines, I'm in the last level of student life. The explanation I gave for this level's potential is because I think I'm aware of the survival techniques that a student has to know but I don't know survival is not the game. In this level, its actually easy to understand stuff and even if not understood ppl can produce expected outcome.
Now a little part of my life getting shared here,
I'm doing internship in a company which has dream status in BITS. People from MIT are interested in working for it. My colleagues are from Top 50 colleges in the entire world. As said in my course plan, I'm supposed to present my project work I'm doing in this internship to three of my faculties in my college.
A little intro for the THREE (every character in my life deserves intro, but I cant use their names without their permission)
Conference mam - Guides me throughout this internship
Cyberfest mam - If you are my pal, you know whom I'm pointing.
Italian Stallion - Wizard (currently, in my perspective. I cant assure you till I get to know completely)
Coming back to the flow, I'm supposed to present my work to these ppl. Two presentations with an interval of one month. First presentation was something new and different. I'm the only one presenting on that day. It took 1:45 hrs to complete that. Frankly speaking, had fun.
Second presentation - A twist in the story. This time went on the day of presentation. Met friends and had fun before presentation. Its 3 o clock when I'm walking towards the panel, not sure about the time.
Presentation starts. As usual, started with the interesting story and went on. I didnt give importance to the ppt technically. Ya I know, I shouldnt do that. But still, one of my notable characters - carelessness made me to. Actually I'm the last one to present on that day. I thought ppl will be careless as it is Friday evening. But those faculties are different. They asked questions which I thought they shouldn't. Clean bowled out. Already I was disappointed about corporate experience, adding to my disappointment this incident almost made me go out of track. But as everyone knows, they is always hope. IS(Italian Stallion) gave hands that made me stay on track and to my surprise, Cyberfest mam also spoke well, pointing out my errors and telling me how I should have presented. Slideshow ended after 4 transitions. :(
I went out of the room with some mixed feeling. I made a promise that I'll redo this ppt making it meeting their "How it should be". Just outside the room, few of my classmates were talking to IS. I packed up my stuff and joined them as a spectator. Thank god, I didn't leave. IS's words made me realize my position and also the responsibility I should take up. Her advice was like Ruckmani mam's advice which shifted my position to the level no one, including myself, expected.
I decided to follow her words, from heart. Now, one thing which was still unclear that evening was why Conf mam didn't support me. After I met my tutor, it was all clear. Its actually the same prob that makes most of my friends almost hate me - communication. I don't know how to solve this. May be I'll get a solution from IS, I guess.
So now, coming to the point - my position as an intern in a reputed firm implicitly forces me to take up the responsibility of being a student of my level. Thanks a lot, IS, for making me realize this. I owe you something beyond my potential.
(I don't know whether I could write about ppl like this on public media. I wished to express this and I did so. I have used Ruck's name without her permission because she use to say that we(students) are her child. I don't need to seek my mom's permission to praise her)
