(Faith, Courage, Knowledge, Change, Process)

When I look two years back, I notice there's a big difference between old me and new me. The girl never spoke in front of people, now can really put her ideas in front of a large audience. Now, when I look at my new version, I've evolved a lot. As someone said all thoughts have a meaning even now, there's a reason for my happiness.

Recently, we have welcomed Freshers to our club. And we club members as a part of the club have responsibilities to present it. I was a little bit freaked out initially so I prepared a long script of about 20 minutes. Due to this corona-virus pandemic, the induction program was entirely arranged in online mode. I was a little anxious even though it was online as I had never spoken in front of this many people but now had to introduce the club in front of around a hundred juniors. Since all the freshers were split into separate batches, we had to introduce our club multiple times. For the very first time, however, the camera wasn’t kept on, it wasn't that good. The second time I gathered courage and presented it with the camera on. Who knew that with so much faith, the me who was so freaked out would present it so effectively and would be so confident. I noticed even when I was talking, I had a gentle smile on my face, I stopped in between, asked questions, and made it more and more interactive. In reality, that affected the audience.

At that point, I just figured out that a gentle smile and faith will change people's perception of you. Indeed, the audiences were so responsive to the question I asked. They were so excited to hear more about our club. In the end, as I finished it, I realized that it's so easy to do something if you have deep faith and knowledge in that specific topic. I really felt so amazing that actually I could make it.

I realized that I am allowed to be proud of little accomplishments that no one else can see. Keep faith in the process, whether it's visible to others or not. And always remind yourself that you're doing well. Keep up the good work.
