Undergraduate / My community, my teachers, and my school ; Describe the world you come from. [2]
Helpful, caring, encouraging, closely knit, cohesively diverse are a few words to describe my community. I come from Neyveli- an industrial township- of the famous Neyveli Lignite Corporation, Asia's biggest open cast mine. Ours is a small community comprising of 19000 employees and their families. This extremely diverse community, where people of different cast and creed from all over India reside, has lent me a perspective that can easily accommodate a variety of cultures and traditions. Moreover, NLC is a showcase of the marvels of structural engineering and engineering physics; the thermal Power plants with their beautiful chimneys, cooling towers, huge bucket wheel excavators have always fascinated me.
Here, I attended Jawahar Higher Secondary School for 13 years and it's unlikely I would be anywhere near as the person I am today, without the experiences I had at the school. JHSS had taught me the most valuable lesson of my life: I am not going to succeed if I don't love what I'm doing, and my better love it with all my heart.. JHSS is where I discovered my true passion- nuclear physics- and the best attribute of my personality: risk taking and resilience; JHSS has repeatedly crushed me with its demanding academic and extra-curricular program, yet it taught me to crawl despite the bruises on my knees and elbows. My teachers were my friends and confidantes who stood by me as I tried new things and experimented with my life. By the end of the day, I have failed in many of my pursuits, but every-time I learned something new, and that's what mattered to me. My community, my teachers, and my school have never shaped my dreams, but helped me find them. Sure, when out in the real world, I may cry, fail, or succeed, but those valuable experiences will help me dust my pants and get back on my feet.
