My introduction for one of the classes I am into this Fall!

I was asked to write a simple informal portfolio in order to introduce myself to distance education students on a personal level for a hybrid class. The following is what I wrote. Friends and peers insisted that I post it on my blog!! and I think its not a bad idea.

     Sowmya Challa
I am a happy, simple and frank girl born and brought-up in the mystical land of India. I am blessed to have a supportive and loving family, encouraging friends and inspiring mentors around me.
My Family –
We are a family of four - my mom, my dad and my sweet little brother. My mother works for State Bank of India as a manager and is an excellent home maker too. She manages her professional and personal lives beautifully with ease. My dad works for State Bank of Hyderabad as a manager and is practical man. He is fun loving easy person with humor and wit. He made us; both the kids believe that learning is the way of living. There is nothing called a failure, its only lessons to be learnt. My brother is in eleventh grade now and is the apple of the eye for all three of us. He is an awesome guy and is a huge cricket fan! All in all, our family motto is to learn, laugh, love and live!!!!!!
 My Career –
Well, my career has been a roller coaster ride! I love to learn and experiment as it comes. I always wanted to be a teacher when I was young as my mom started out her career as a teacher, but as I grew to be a teenager my interest was towards Indian Civil Services, but again I was moved towards engineering and finally did engineering! Bachelor of Technology was the first degree I earned. Then I came to USA to do masters. Business was always an interest for me so I did my Masters in Business Administration from Scott College of Business, Indiana State University. And then now I am into PHD. It has been getting interesting by each day and I love what I am doing. Hopefully I will be an academician in near future.I have a lot in mind that I may or may not accomplish but I will not stop trying!
Self-Actualization is my motto for life!
