I am a second-year engineering student, and my journey at the IGNITE Event Fashion Show was truly one of the most memorable experiences of my college life. During the IGNITE event organized by our college, a fashion show was arranged, and I got the opportunity to participate in it. For our choreography, Kristina Ma’am and Pushpen Sir were appointed as our mentors. From 21st January to 31st January, we trained under their guidance, and the experience of working with them was absolutely fabulous. It was my first time participating in such a grand event, and throughout the journey, I felt myself growing more confident day by day. Day 1 On the very first day, I had no prior experience and no clear idea about choreography or stage performance. However, once the practice began, Kristina Ma’am made everything feel comfortable. Slowly and steadily, she helped us build confidence. She is extremely calm, patient, and supportive. Even when we made mistakes repeatedly, she never scolded us. Instead, she focused on correcting us and teaching us again with the same dedication and positivity. Day 2 On the second day, Ma’am helped everyone with costume practice as well. The practice sessions were continuous and intense, but neither Ma’am nor Sir ever showed tiredness. They practiced with us, put in equal effort, and stayed till late hours. Even while returning home late at night, they remained energetic and motivating, which inspired us even more. Day 3 On the third day, I personally faced a bit of weakness and low confidence. Because of that, I sometimes forgot steps during practice. Kristina Ma’am noticed this and personally asked me if I was facing any problem. She encouraged me to share openly and assured me that we would work through it together. That support meant a lot to me. With every passing day, my confidence kept increasing. We practiced continuously for 4–5 hours, and since Ma’am and Sir practiced alongside us, the entire process felt enjoyable and motivating. Day 4 & Day 5 During the last two days, several complications and challenges came up. However, Kristina Ma’am handled every situation very smartly and calmly. She encouraged us to stay focused and give our best despite the difficulties. Her motivation pushed us to practice with even more dedication and energy. Day 6 – Final Day The final day was truly the best and most exciting day. After so many days of hard work, our efforts were finally going to show results. Ma’am helped us with costumes, makeup, and overall presentation. Even when some costumes were not ready on time, she managed everything perfectly. The most amazing part of the performance was the final dance, where we performed together with Sir and Ma’am. The performance was powerful, energetic, and truly a stage-breaking one. The result we had worked so hard for came out exactly the way we hoped. This entire journey with the Dance and Fitness Team was more than just a performance—it was a lesson in confidence, discipline, teamwork, and dedication. I am extremely grateful to Kristina Ma’am and Pushpen Sir for their guidance, patience, and constant support. This experience will always hold a special place in my heart and will remain one of the best memories of my college life. -komal auti Smt indira gandhi college of engineering Se mechanical
