Reflecting on My Journey: Graduation from Kathmandu University

On December 15, 2021, I proudly walked across the stage at Kathmandu University’s twenty-seventh convocation ceremony, receiving my Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration. It was a surreal moment – one that encapsulated four years of hard work, growth, and unforgettable experiences from 2017 to 2021.

The journey to this point was filled with both challenges and triumphs. Starting out in 2017, I was eager but also uncertain about what lay ahead. The BBA program at Kathmandu University offered a robust foundation in business principles, but it also taught me so much more than just academics. I learned how to collaborate effectively, lead teams, and navigate real-world business problems. The university’s focus on practical learning meant that each project and presentation was a step toward understanding the complexities of the business world.

One of my proudest achievements during these years was successfully completing several challenging projects, which helped me develop key skills in strategic planning, financial analysis, and marketing. These projects allowed me to apply theory to practice, giving me insights into how businesses operate in dynamic environments. Through various group assignments, I also honed my communication and teamwork abilities, realizing the importance of diversity in perspectives.

Beyond academics, my time at Kathmandu University was marked by strong friendships and a supportive community. The relationships I formed with my professors and peers were invaluable, and their encouragement helped me push through difficult times. We celebrated each other's successes and supported one another through challenges, creating memories that will last a lifetime.

Graduation day was filled with joy, pride, and a bit of nostalgia. Wearing my cap and gown, holding my diploma, and sharing the moment with my family and friends was incredibly rewarding. This degree is more than just a piece of paper; it’s a testament to the dedication, resilience, and growth I experienced over these four years.

As I look forward to the future, I carry with me the lessons and skills I gained at Kathmandu University. I am excited about the possibilities that lie ahead and am grateful for the foundation this education has provided.
