OUR INDUCTION WEEK AT ALAM

It was our first week at ALAM. Many hopes, dreams and wishes were driving every single one of us who enrolled in ALAM. Our parents faces were filled with pride and hope as they were about to send us to ALAM as they know that we are on the right path to a brighter future at ALAM. All of us brought bags, luggage, even pillows and stuffed toys from home but unluckily, our wardens had to remove them, from our luggage as it is not allowed in out hostel. We were not allowed to bring many things as it is stated in the rules of ALAM. Once finishing our so called 'luggage check' we were assigned to our rooms in the Pacific Block. That's where i met new friends who soon became family.

To be honest, it was not a week that we were looking forward to. We had no idea that we were enrolling in a regimentation system based program. We had a hell of a week but trust me, it was worth the pain and suffering. We had to march from one place to another starting our day at 5.00 am and ending it at 12.00am. We were given correctional activities for every mistakes or rules broken by us. But in those harsh moments is where we made new friends. Our new family called DNS 21 ALPHA, never loss faith on each other. Each supporting the other when one is about to give up but due to our teamwork and good leadership skills we prevailed our Induction Week.

Example of some of the activities that were carried out during our Induction Week were, Morning Physical Training at 6.00 am, Morning Colors, Marching Practice, Swimming Tests, Physical Tests, intense activities during Roll Call and above all Obstacle Course was a really great memory of mine. It was the very first time we were rolling in the mud, jumping over a very high wall, running over a metal pipe which was a couple of meters from the ground and many more.

Today, it has been a year in ALAM and we have learnt many things about self-discipline, respect and of course punctuality. ALAM has thought us to be matured at a very young age. Unlike many other universities or colleges, ALAM is the place where we were thought to be on our toes and be ready for anything rather than being spoon fed all the time. Above all we have made a new family here in ALAM including lecturers, trainers and also other officers and engineers. Thank you ALAM.
