SOWMYA NARALA CSE A 4 / 4
I am presently pursuing my final year in Computer Science . The four years that I spent in this college have been a great learning experience . I learnt many lessons for life through college and learnt how to survive in the real world . GNITS has helped me realize the worth of balancing academics with extracurricular activities and I tried to do this all through my engineering . Our college has given me the opportunity to hold a few positions of responsibility in the past four years - the class representative and placement coordinator of my section and website designer of our technical fest Ignium 2k16 . I have grown from being a coordinator to the joint Secretary of ISTE . I was recruited as the Microsoft Student Partner for the year 2016 . I had also been an active participant and award winner in multiple technical events like paper presentations , coding contests , project expos , etc . My family , school and college have helped me inculcate habits that made me what I am today and I am sure will help me in the future as well . A person I have always looked up to has been Steve Jobs . He is one of the most talented person I have ever seen . My goal is to be like him . My short-term goal is to gain some experience in the real-time industry and then pursue masters , after which I want to set up a firm of my own . Through this firm I would provide employment to some people in the society and also give back to the places that helped me grow in life . I would like to tell my juniors that it is very important to grab all the opportunities that come our way because I strongly believe that one opportunity gives rise to another . To get started , in the very first year of college itself nominate yourself for every post that needs to be filled because these roles of responsibility will greatly help you in the later stages . Also , I think it is very crucial to maintain a fine balance between academics and extracurricular activities because in our institution and various others , strong academics imply more opportunities .

Everything would have been the same if we didnt update ourselves with the latest technologies . Knowing the working behind these technologies became my passion and hence landed in taking Information Technology as my specialization . GNITS taught me how well we can connect these technologies to our daily life . It has laid a path in my life which helped me in identifying my strengths and weakness . Being the Class Representative for 3 years , I learnt the meaning of teamwork . Apart from consistently performing well in my academics , I have always been an active participant in all the events . I have presented papers on “ Biometrics ” at IITH , “ Pervasive Computing ” at MGIT and “ Vehicular Adhoc and Sensor Networks ” at GNITS and won Second prize for it . I had won first place in Debugging contest conducted by MGIT and a cash prize of Rs . 1500 / - for securing first place in Poster Presentation on the topic “ Vehicular Networks ” conducted by Vasavi College of Engineering . These presentations helped me improve my communication and interpersonal skills . I also pursued a certification course on IOS Application Development at Path Creators and my mini project titled “ Resume Builder ” which provides its users with an easy way of creating professional resumes . I am also developing a website for my father ’ s company , Aantic Pool Solutions . I believe that nothing can be achieved without working hard and I have learnt this lesson from my father who is an engineer and my role model . My parents are my constant support who always boosted up my confidence levels and helped me in facing the challenges of my life with courage . My HOD sir and all my faculty members always mentored me to choose the right path . I would like to implement what I have learnt till date and gain practical knowledge as a Software Developer . Later , I would like to pursue my Master ’ s and Ph . D in Computer Science field . My advice to all juniors is to break the shell around them , accept challenges as they come and participate in as many events as possible . Try doing online courses that give you knowledge and help you to stay connected with the outside world .
