UPES Campus Ambassador to MiamiThe fact that I was able to perform with the best
of my abilities was because of the exposure I had
received on the campus. As Campus ambassador,
I tried to represent voice of the 1 million students
under the Laureate Network.
I believe that such global meets help students
change some of the assumptions and
preconceived ideas in their societies.
Because we accept the change
from within the society rather than from the
outside and every experience, positive or
negative brings us one step forward, there are no
steps back. I learned amazing lessons from the
purposeful visit to Miami and it will stay with me
forever. Monika Sharma
