Sharing Our Experiences With The New Graduates
The present board members and mentors told stories of their own journey to higher education and how they made decisions regarding their choices. Past graduate and Rukmini scholar Smriti Balami told the new graduates how she started her college education in Science and found it very overwhelming and difficult. She told the gathering how she re-evaluated and decided to pursue their education in Management. She encouraged the graduates to carefully consider their strengths and to pursue a future they have an interest in. Another past graduate and Rukmini Scholar Susmita Balami added her agreement telling how she started her education in Education and Management and then moved to study Sociology as it was where her interests lie. She encouraged the new graduates to ask questions about different subjects and faculties so that they may make an informed decision.
During this celebration, Sashi Sharma Aryal Sir added his congratulations and took this opportunity to tell the graduates about the grade 9 to 12 Civil Engineering Program started at Pharping Secondary School from this educational year. They talked about how we support each other as a part of the community towards empowerment, and as such we will have to support our local college so that it may grow and help the community grow.
Sharing experiences with each new generation to empower them with stories and experiences.
With games, activities, and stories, we celebrated our recent SEE graduates and their future. The participation of our past graduates in this celebration made the event even more meaningful as they built a network of girls showing support and encouragement to each other.
