What an experience

Its been a longgg ago since I posted anything. Last sem was really busy for me. I took 3 courses out of which 2 were core courses which kept me at toes and thus all thru the semester. But it was a highly enriching experience and a great learning curve for me. One of the best learnings that came was time management. There were instances where I have had 3 assignments to be submitted on a single day. I did panicked initially but then slowly learnt how to manage things around. I guess grad school is all about such experiences and the learnings that follows. Anyways, feeling sleepy will try to be more active from here onwards.

The other day I happened to watch a movie "Homeless to Harvard". Its based on a true story of girl named Liz Murray. I was touched to see how she fought against all odds to later join prestigious Harvard University. It makes me think that whenever I have felt low in life I ended up saying (most of the times) that "I was so unlucky" but after watching this movie I realized one cannot be in a more worse condition than of her's. A child who lost her mother at the tender age of 15,father suffering with AIDS. A child whose most of the childhood was spent eating the leftovers at the dumpsters.
But she knew that she just need one chance to turn around the things. She started her high school when others of her age have completed her. But all these things didn't pull her back in realizing her dreams. I guess things are not difficult.Its the mindset we have that makes things difficult.One needs to have the perseverance and right attitude and the will to achieve his dream along with the belief that "I can do it". I really liked this movie and would strongly recommend all you guys to watch it.
