The Olympic Spirit in my life

The Olympic Games are the world's largest pageant of athletic skill and competitive spirit. The spirit of the Olympic Games is about more than just medals. It's about ordinary people displaying extraordinary determination, skill, character and cooperation. The goal of the Olympic Movement is to contribute to building a peaceful and better world by educating youth through sport practiced without discrimination of any kind and in the Olympic spirit, which requires mutual understanding with a spirit of friendship, solidarity and fair play.

I am indeed fortunate to be part of such events when a group of students displayed extraordinary determination and skills to organise event to its success. First among these memorable events was organisation of seminar on Information Technology. The thought of organizing such event rose during discussion among friends. This idea was discussed with professors and other students all of them found this as innovative and interesting and they shown there inclination for active participation. College administration provided just infrastructure help required for organizing seminar but avoided any financial support.

For financial support we had contacted to several computer coaching institutes and even The Institution of Engineers local chapter authorities. Fortunately the authorities have shown their kind interest in sponsoring the event by providing prizes for best papers in each session. This was a major boost up for our team as Institution of Engineers was backing up our event. The seminar was scheduled after a week because of forthcoming examination. This was indeed a short time period, but news of this event spread waves through the college and students from various fields formed groups and came forward to participate actively. To our astonishment we received 52 good papers from about 80 participants. This was indeed more important in such a college where just a few students know about technical papers and their presentation in seminars. This was collective effort and co-operation of all the participants and members of orgainising committee who displayed extraordinary determination, teamwork and practiced hard to make the seminar as memorable event.

This memorable event formed a solid benchmark and was followed by organisation of National Student Seminar supported by State regulatory authority. This time the team of experienced organizers was ready to take care of several aspects related to the organisation of seminar. This was indeed a good platform where students from various states participated to share their knowledge and expertise not only educational but also their cultural.

International education is also one such similar platform where students from different countries with different language, race, culture, religion and knowledge background come close to each other and share their knowledge. This leads in better understanding of other fellow as a human being without any consideration to its religion, races and origin and develops respect and healthy relationship among them. This in long term helps in bridging the gap in between the different nations and hence spreads spirit of friendship.
