My Personal Growth in BCVS: From 1st Sem to Now ~

When I joined the CSBS department at KIT, I thought I would only be busy with coding and computers. I saw Business Communication and Value Science (BCVS) in my timetable and thought it would be just a boring theory subject. But now, after two semesters, I can say that this subject taught me things that coding cannot.

In the 1st Semester, the real challenge started. I remember our first lab activity where I had to give an Idol Poster Presentation. I made a poster of MS Dhoni because he is my biggest inspiration for being calm and a great leader. Even though I love talking about Dhoni, standing in front of the whole class was very scary for me. My legs were shaking, and I almost forgot what to say. After that, we had more Speeches in class. Just like my friend Anuj wrote in his blog, I also had a lot of stage fear in the beginning. But doing it again and again helped me feel a little more confident

Now in the 2nd Semester, we moved to more professional things like Group Discussions and Mock Interviews. In the GDs, I learned that it is not about who speaks the loudest, but about how you share your ideas and listen to others. This semester, we also had an NGO visit to meet the families of soldiers. I really wanted to go, but because of some personal reasons, I could not join the trip. When my friends came back and told me about their experience, I felt very bad for missing it. It made me realize that "Value Science" is about having a heart and understanding our responsibility toward society.

 

 

CONCLUSION ~

 

Looking back, the biggest change in me is how I talk to people. Before BCVS, I didn't know how to talk differently to a teacher or a friend. Now, I feel I have a better personality and less fear of the stage. Communication is not just about English; it is about having the confidence to be yourself.
