Journey of a lifetime.

There are not enough words to describe the best experience in ones life. But we have many instances, many moments and many memories that we are proud of or that have changed our lives for the better. Those moments that will stay with us, long after they are left behind.

Enactus has been such an experience, a memory for me.

From the very moment, I heard of Enactus, I knew then, I had to be a part of it. I had to make my life and that of others more meaningful. Not just to exist, but to make a difference.

Walking into my interview, I could feel my heart in my mouth, my legs were wobbly, because for me, this wasn’t just a club, it was that opportunity to give my best for something that I felt strongly about.

Enactus HRC, has always focused on putting their best foot forward. We have always been united as one strong unit, working towards a common goal- “Making A Difference”, but with an entrepreneurial approach. 

On a personal note, giving up on internships or holidays, just to stay back and work on our projects is so much more rewarding. These three years are not enough, they will never be enough: So, why waste any time on something that I can still do, once I’ve graduated?

With that in mind, I’ve given it up all for this organization and the results have been tremendous, just not as a project milestone, but as an individual to achieve those milestones.

But failure is always a part of success. We learn from our mistakes. That’s exactly what we have tried to do with both our projects. Learn from our mistakes and make it successful.

So, why exactly is it “Journey of A Lifetime”?

Its simple: These three years are going to be the best of your life. You’re not going to only stick to classroom learning, but you’re going to step out into the real world and try and apply actual business models and concepts to the existing problems in our society.

Along the way, you will see yourself transform as an individual and learn so much more than what any textbook or classroom in the world can teach you. I don’t mean that statement to be offensive to our education system, but Enactus is a platform where we can bring out our best, which may not be possible by sticking to bookish knowledge. So make the best of it.

One of my best memories will always be that of Kival Village the ‘Pilot Chapter’ of Project Saarthi, started 20^th October 2013.

I like to call it 'My Baby', Its something I’ve worked on day and night. The feeling of seeing a chapter you’ve personally been attached to, become successful is something each one of the budding entrepreneurs in Enactus hopes for. These individual chapters add on to the success of the Project.

Certifying 5 Teacher Entrepreneurs in Kival and then following up with them regularly for a period of 6 months, to understand their difficulties, ideas and solving it with our approach has been exhilarating. Setting up classrooms for over 190 students is another such achievement.

Kival has been the success story, the push that every new project could hope for, that any Enactus Team could dream of. 190 students, in a matter of few months and seeing the difference in their lives, in their studies, was a milestone.

So, start making those memories today.

Start contributing to the society today.

It all begins now, in this moment and it begins with you.

Remember- “Be the change you wish to see”

“I am doing my turn, what about you?”
