'Arise,awake and stop not till the goal is reached.'- This is the quote with which I started the 'National Youth Day',12th January 2015.National Youth Day is celebrated on January 12th every year on the occasion of Birthday of Swami Vivekananda.I was given an wonderful opportunity to execute the 'IUY2C' Project by my Mentors.IUY2C project is powered by IU Cares Foundation and involves Youth addressing the children and sharing their knowledge with the children and mainly to inspire the children to achieve their dreams faster and in a better way.I am really glad that I got such a wonderful project to execute on the National Youth Day.
The experience was definitely an experience which can only be experienced and not expressed.But even then I would like to express it in the form of Words in this blogpost,so that each time I see this blogpost I can FEEL this wonderful Day.I was pretty EXCITED for the entire day.I got dressed up in the most elite ways possible for me and I just can't express the proud feeling of my parents whenever they see me in Suit.
Then I directly headed to Rotary Government School to address close to 365 students,including the primary section and high school section.It was really a lovely experience interacting with those students.It so much reminded me of my school Days.I shared about the importance of Dreams and how to achieve them.I also shared about why is it necessary to overlook the obstacles in order to achieve our dreams.We also helped some students reduce their stage fear by making them come on stage and speak.I really loved that part because stage fear is one thing because of which I have lost a lot of opportunities in my life.I am glad that I have completely eliminated the stage fear in me,which makes me a more confident individual.
The next School was the Government School in Hulimavu.This was the best experience of the day.The happiness which we got in addressing these kids cannot be expressed in words at all.This School even had students of lower primary section and hence we had a lot of fun.We got to know few stories and jokes from the kids as well.And it was definitely a wonderful experience addressing the high school section as there were 200 students at the same time.Glad that we could connect to their thoughts and bring about a small change in them.We did not Gift them with any gifts but we gifted them with a plethora of information and knowledge that will help them become better individuals in their lives.I think such projects if implemented worldwide for the underprivileged students,will transform a lot of lives in this world.Hats off to my Mentor Sujit Lalwani Sir who is the founder of the Inspiration Unimited(IU) company.IU cares is a CSR of IU.Indeed it was THE BEST day of the year so far.
Last but not the Least,I would like to thank the entire team of IUY2C for having done an excellent work - Souhardh.P.Gudur , Kavya.S , Divyashree , Monisha , Aishwarya Hebbar, Lavanya.M and Praneetha Reddy.We all together could totally impact about 5000 people.This was definitely a Meaningful Youth Day!!
"Services to God can be rendered by services to Mankind"- This learning of Swami Vivekananda made me feel even more happy and proud about myself for having done all the above things.
"MAY THE YEAR 2015 BE FILLED WITH SUCH AMAZING DAYS."
