STEPPING STONE

I came to know that our college (GEC THRISSUR)was one among the 14 colleges in Kerala which was selected to start the DSC(Developer students club)an initiative by GOOGLE and i also heard that the club is conducting an Android workshop,I was not that interested about the workshop as i had a previous experience of an Android workshop which did’nt turn out really well.

A few days after that my friends told me that the workshop was not just about the Android development that Felix Josemon(he is our senior who led the DSC club in our college and was one among the 7 scholars who got the Venkat Panchapakesan scholarship)asked them to meet local businessmen and bring up ideas on how to make use of mobile phones in their daily business, instantly i regretted for not joining the club…as i was interested in this kind of stuffs(like the practical applications).Soon i had a second chance and this time i made sure that i was in.

The workshop was really better than i expected it to be,Felix also shared his experience visiting Youtube headquarters and how he managed to get the scholarship.After that we had a “Meetup over lime” where we all got the opportunity to know each other, by the end of the day we all had our tasks given to us.I hope that this club will become a stepping stone for my future.
