From Microsoft to MSP 2013/14

“As long as you’re going to be thinking anyway, think big.” Donald Trump

A tree just doesn't fall from the sky and fill our baskets with delicious apples, but it doesn't take much effort either. We just need a seed and voila! Few minutes and we will be rich selling apples. But it holds only if we have graduated from  Hogwarts and can cast a “Herbivicus”  or a “Alohamora”  spell and own a flying carpet and a talking owl. And for the rest of the people who missed the train to Hogwarts and had to stick with other universities of our world, it needs a tiny seed, a tad big hole on the ground, a bigger will to make things happen, and way much bigger effort to turn a seed into numerous delicious apples that help us keep our doctor away. 

I can remember the day  I first met Allen sir, in a program organized by MICNepal in our college, Nepal Engineering College. I was a technology enthusiast back then too, and I used a lot of Microsoft products daily ever since I got my first computer during school, but something new approached me the day Allen sir interacted with us. It was not because I received gift hamper being an active participant, nor was it because Allen sir cast a spell on me, it was because that was the day I realized that where I stood in terms of using and knowing technology was just a basement of the foundation I ever dreamt to reach on top of. That was the very day I told myself that I definitely am going to apply for being an MSP the next time. And that day was the day I started dreaming bigger.

Though I couldn't participate in the MSP program in the year 2012 due to my involvements in various projects and robotics , I was in frequent contact with the MSPs, and attended almost every program organized by MICNepal in our college. So, the year 2012 helped me increase my hunger towards being an MSP, and helped me polish myself better to being a better candidate as an MSP for the upcoming year. I participated in many  workshops and presentations organised by our IT club nec-CTRC , which I am an active member of, and workshops and national level robotics competition ‘Yantra1.0’ organized by RAN (Robotics Association Nepal) . I also participated as an exhibitor in exhibitions organized by Golden Gate Int’l College and Nobel college. Later in the year 2013, I got an opportunity to represent my college in an international event ‘Techkriti’13’ organized by IIT Kanpur, under the event Robogames, and it alone boosted my confidence and  knowledge level further. So I was busy trying to create a platform on whose grounds I could excel my career in the field of Information and Technology. I still had a lot left to accomplish and so I was waiting for my chance to apply for being an MSP, which is the solid platform everyone dreams of getting on. Despite sequel of exams and few other issues, I finally could apply for the MSP 2013/14 program, and I am now all prepared to take my life a step ahead as an MSP and I hope to get a chance to be a part of MICNepal team so that I can learn much more about technology and innovations, gain different skills and share them all with my colleagues and the students of my college. What i have targeted for upon being selected is that if I am going to be the MSP, I am going to try my best to make every student of my college equal to an MSP in terms of knowledge, and skills.

Bill gates started afresh and from scratch, yet he achieved Microsoft, and now have lhis Microsoft to guide me and help me, and all I now need is effort and I am ready to shine.

Lets shine, not just light up,
With Microsoft together,
And pursue career and excel further,
And shine like a diamond forever.
