What Colleges Have You Attended?
This question instantly takes me back to one of the most interesting and transformative phases of my life.
My academic journey didn’t follow a straight line and I’m grateful for that.
I began with an MBA, driven by ambition and responsibility. After completing my degree, I worked in a bank for some time. It was a stable phase of life, but due to certain personal reasons, I had to step away from my job. Life moved on, responsibilities increased, and somewhere along the way, my childhood dream of becoming a fashion designer quietly waited in my heart.
Years later, that dream started knocking again.
One day, almost unexpectedly, I came across an advertisement for a college offering special fashion design classes for married women. Something clicked instantly. It felt like a sign. Without overthinking, I decided to join.
What followed was nothing short of magical.
Walking into college again after so many years felt surreal. New friends, laughter-filled classrooms, shared dreams, and that familiar college mischief. Bunking classes just to enjoy moments together, getting scolded for incomplete assignments, rushing to meet deadlines everything felt like a beautiful rewind of life.
That phase was so precious that it’s hard to put into words.
Not everyone gets a chance to live their college life twice, and I was blessed with that opportunity. I didn’t just gain education; I gained confidence, friendships, joy, and a renewed sense of self. By God’s grace, that journey didn’t stop there it pushed me forward, closer to the person I was always meant to become.
For me, college life is not just a memory it’s a chapter that changed me deeply. It taught me that it’s never too late to start again, and that re-living life with awareness and gratitude brings a different kind of happiness.
Living life once is normal.
But getting a chance to live it again, with clarity and purpose, is truly special.
