Im just back from an 8 day residential camp in my college and it was one-of-a-kind experience for me. The only thing which I realised when the camp was announced was that, Iam into my final year and 3 full years have passed in quick succession.First things first.The training camp had aptitude sessions, communication skill classes, outdoor activities, a movie session and a campfire on the penultimate night. It has brought in me a lot of changes and it has taught me so many good lessons. The only negative aspect which I found about the camp was its very tiring schedule. We almost have to sleep by 1:00 am and have to get up at 4.50am. But I know it’s a lot of taxing work from here and life isn't a bed of roses always. Corporate trainings are going to be still tougher and stressing but still you have to give your hundred percent every time, else your performance curve drops down. This camp has also improved my responsibility and gave me individuality and it served as a great platform to express myself.
The aptitude classes were handled by Career Launcher, an education service company. It has well equipped professors from the IITs and graduates from the IIMs. They were so kind not only in imparting their knowledge but also found time to share their experiences in life with 'enlightenment sessions'. An experience from a teacher always strikes a chord in you and we were able to relate to it easily. Though solving problems drained all our energy, we were found asking for more and more as it came with a lot of fun. And what I realized was, every person needs to be strong in every method that is being used in solving a problem to snatch a smart job. Competition is much higher with now even the people from the Arts college giving the graduates from an engineering college a placement scare. Being smart needs a lot of hope and confidence within.
The communication classes gave us a chance to express ourselves and it helped us in putting our views forward with great ease and finesse. It also helped me in exploring more things about myself and in judging what kind of a person I am. I have learnt to be more confident and optimistic as the classes went on. From a very shy person, they have helped me in transforming myself into a very sociable person. I will never forget the hard work put in by my trainers, Mr.Prakash and Ms.Indra. They have thought me so much in life and they have been exceptionally good in making learning more interesting and innovative.
The outdoor activities were very well coordinated by a team called E-ZONE, who are into corporate training and consulting . This is where we thought is our chance to grab to unwind ourselves. The training team comprising of Hafiz, William, Sandy, Arul, and Ramya were so close to us and we would never ever forget them in our lives. They have thought us small things, which matter a lot in taking our life forward. Here is where I learnt what team effort and leadership is. They have been very instrumental in shaping every one of us and for me personally, it helped me in extending my network of friends by a humungous amount.
To put it in a nutshell, I have learnt to be on my own, have built in a lot of confidence and the vigour in me to perform hard. And indeed I have now started loving working under pressure too. In a way, they have made me understand what life is and what a corporate company expects from me. Now its all come down to a striking distance and I will have to deliver my goods upfront at the right time. Now, hit a bingo and go cock-a-hoop over my victory is what I will have to do from here !!!
