Wonderful Getaway

One of the ‘opportunities’ for Premier Fellows is the invitation to the ‘Retreat Program’ which is a great getaway from the daily hustle bustle of the business school after an exasperating mod I and II and not to forget the internship search process.
 
This year the Retreat was held at the pristine Governor’s Club, a visual delight in itself. The time I spent helped me in rejuvenating myself both physically and mentally. While providing some food for thought through the introspection of what I am headed for in the long run, it was also a great opportunity to know more about some of my classmates and their experiences. It was a revelation of the unique attributes, perceptions and x-factors that drives them and makes them the successful individual they are.

Whether it is strong focus, or the determination to take on a challenge or just living life king-size, the motley of emotions is something I could relate to it having gone through them at some phase of my own life. To honor our philosophical quests by keeping our stomach full (as they say the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach) , we were served delicious food at the mentor’s place. Thanks to Alexandra and Croft, our morning fitness runs ensured that all the extra calories were shed and we were back to the shapes we arrived in.
 
The two day session on defining and clear outlining of goals and aspirations in life definitely intrigued me and even forced a think-only-if-I-have-to person like me to sit up and notice what I was doing. And definitely followed by a lot of learning tips from the basketball fans (Game courtesy: Virginia Tech vs. Tar Heels ), I emerged a lot more learned from the Retreat .
Thanks!
