How things worked as Freshers in Advaita
The moment I came to the college the very next day I saw this amazing group of people jamming together, I got to know that they are the people from the dance society and I wanna be a part of it for sure, expectations were super high but being part of it was a struggle, hours of practices, skipping lectures but everything was worth it until I realised it's a flop year, waking up early going home late for nothing. I remember when we finally decided to close the season for our team and I removed "Advaita" from my Instagram bio because we did not have a production and very few people by our side. It broke my heart, wanted to scream. But look where we are now. It was a process that made me realise the value of stage, people, discipline, art and everything to be a sensible leader and at this very moment I'm proud of myself and my team for surviving that year and rocking this year.
Let's talk to Ally and ask her what are her thoughts on this-
'Having to experience a lot in these 2 years of my life, from an immature high school graduate to the president in the very second year. Having to experience a year full of rejections and disappointments to make a mind of ice to achieve what we aimed for a year back.
If I look back to December 2018, I can not see anything but a blur tomorrow, with no hopes, but the moment I got the post of President in the second year of my college with zero experience of how things work here, made me realize that another side of me is very dynamic and spontaneous. Nothing would have been possible without the support and trust of my pillars i.e. My Core, having faith in me and accepting every decision I made, to do everything possible yet impossible at that very moment.
From a team under the soil to make it breath below the open sky, we all made it.
This was hell of a journey and can not wait to experience another year of this responsibility with all my heart and with my core along.' said Ally.
If you're the new president of your team just work hard, anyone can do it, you just need to be determined.
"For me, dance society has changed me in multiple ways. It has taught me how to be strong, confident, sassy and most importantly a better dancer.
Ally di as a president has taught many things but one thing that I really adore is how to be calm and patient when the things around are clumsy or going wrong." says Isha from First year.
