As you step into St. Joseph’s College for Women, Visakhapatnam, you will be experiencing a variety of feelings.
Some of you may be awed by the tall buildings and the aura of history it seems to exude while some of you may be disgusted by the dust and degree of pollution that surrounds it.
Some of you may have come here willingly while others may have been forced by your parents to join this college.
Some of you may have studied in this school and may have automatically moved into the college out of habit not willing to leave the premises that you are so used to from childhood.
Some of you may have had dreams of going to a co-educational college where you could make friends with boys and here you are cloistered in a women’s college so you may be disappointed.
Some of you may have dreamed of becoming doctors or engineers but have had to settle for this as second best.
Some of you coming from smaller towns may have joined the college with dreams of achieving great freedom here away from the strict eyes of your parents.
Whatever your motive, remember that at the end of three years or five years if you continue here for PG, St. Joseph’s can become a home away from away as it has been to thousands of alumni who look back on their days in this premier institution with a lot of nostalgia and happiness. The college can contribute to your growth if you allow it to. Whether you benefit from this college or are belittled by it depends on YOU.
Do your best to embrace the culture of this college and you will reap rich harvest by way of success, achievements and fame!
