I still remember my first day at FAST and how scared I was to meet new people, but little did I know 
how remarkable my experience would be. The time has flown by, and I can’t believe I am writing 
this as a ‘soon-to-be graduate FASTIAN’.  
My first week at FAST was nothing less of surprises because I believed University life will be a 
piece of cake but soon I was bombarded with a number of quizzes, assignments, presentations and 
what not! I was used to the forty minutes lectures in A-levels whereas now a one and a half hour 
class for each course seemed nothing less of a nightmare at first.  
However, the challenges that I faced at FAST molded me into the person that I am today. The 
faculty members polished and honed the skills that I didn’t realize I already possessed. Time and 
again our teachers kept reminding us that these seemingly difficult times were shaping us into the 
finer graduates that we were meant to be. Throughout my 4 years, I felt proud of being a FASTIAN 
since I was surrounded by such incredible and hardworking souls who inspired me to be a better 
version of myself every day.   
My life at FAST was not just limited to the academic realm but I actively took part in the numerous 
social events that FAST had to provide such as concerts, bonfires, trips and other social gatherings. 
Participation at NasCon’19 was nothing less of memorable as I was part of the host team of 
Accounting and Finance Guru which really brushed up my accounting skills and further deepened 
my interest in this field. We were also given extremely challenging projects where we had to go and 
interview the heads of different organizations in order to better understand the organizational 
culture whereas other projects helped us in spreading awareness among people regarding the vital 
topics that needed attention. A degree in Accounting in Finance is not the only thing I have gained 
but instead I have acquired irreplaceable connection with friends, teachers, mentors and an 
essential set of skills which I wouldn’t have otherwise gained. I am proud to say that I am much 
more confident and competent than I was when I first entered this institute four years ago.  
I have always had a firm faith in God’s plan and this experience of mine at FAST has further 
strengthened this belief of mine. I will forever be grateful for this incredible journey. I am looking 
forward to applying the valuable skills that FAST instilled in me in the professional world.
