Graduation Speech: Rutica Dey: A Vision Of My Life

Good morning fellow toastmasters ! Today, I, Rutica Dey will be giving an insight of my life to you guys. It wasn’t easy to write a fancy speech but after almost 9 weeks I decided to push myself. I was born on the longest day of the year, the summer solstice, which is June 21st. My birth was very dramatic. I was born 2 months before I was actually supposed to come out and so I made life difficult for my mother but she doesn’t regret all that jazz anymore. Hopefully. Another reason why it was dramatic was because I was the first girl to be born to the Dey family after 52 years. My family almost lost their heads in this frenzy. Obviously, it had to be so filmy as we’re a Bengali family and nothing can pass by without adding spice to it. I

Right from hiradale to the 10th grade. That place is like my second home. Everything about it seemed perfect. It hurts me to be so far away from my beautiful school and the amazing people who I grew up with. I was an introvert till the age of 10. I mingled with selective people and was never a big deal. I was a short girl with a boy cut hairstyle with spectacles on. As I grew up, I opened up and it made life easier. Opening up still did not mean participating in extra curiculars. I was an artsy person from the start which made me prepare for my elimentary art exams. Which I fortunately passed on national level. I was also into sports. Not into any ball games though, I’ve always feared it. I used to be a gymnast and a sprinter. I even ran for my state Maharashtra. In school I was eventually called Kunal’s sister. He was the head captain of my school. Yes, Kunal’s my big brothers name ! But I made my own identity soon as well. School life was pleasant and crazy. I never got into trouble and I remained under good books. I had great friends and greater memories. I remember how the boys would get scared to talk to me as they were scared of my brother. He was always very built and they were afraid of getting hit. It was stupid yet hilarious. I graduated from 10th grade with an 88% under the ICSE board. I moved from Mumbai to Bangalore after this, it was a very hard time for me as Mumbai was and is my everything. But

Oh, and I love meeting new people and also learning about history and the space. Out of these, singing kicks me off well. I opened my own youtube channel a few months ago to be fair to my passion. It was always a dream and hitting around 12000 viewers was very pleasing. Please do look it up sometime ! I’m not too fond of pets although I love animals. From a distance. I had a pet fish, we were together for 6 years but then it passed away. I cried for 5 days for my fish. I get attached to people and things easily. I love talking and laughing. And I love to live life sassy. Presently, I’m here in CMS with you guys. Aiming for a successful and proud 3 year career here. It has been a great start as I got into the cultural team and also the management fest team of our college. Also, I made good friends as well. Hoping to do a lot more! I hope I’ve broken the ice well. I would like to end by saying a self-created line which I always tell myself “When in doubt, throw it out. Just don’t be afraid to fly.”
