How Microsoft has impacted your life and how you plan to bring a change to the society being a Microsoft Student Associate?

Hey!
I’m Nikhil Gupta, a final year undergraduate student of Department of Computer Science Engineering at Jaypee University of Information Technology.

How Microsoft has impacted my life.

Microsoft Windows:
My first Microsoft product was Microsoft Windows 98. From there only my journey with computers started. Then Windows XP -> Windows Vista -> Windows 7 and now Windows 8/8.1. That was my journey with the operating systems of Microsoft. Because of them I was able to interact with computer and learn and become so interested in CS that end up taking Computer Science Engineering for graduation.
MS Office:
The software which helped me in completing all my assignment, projects, and presentations and till date I’m using it.

Skype:
Not just me but this product of Microsoft has changed life of millions of people across the GLOBE. Seriously What an IDEA? Although Skype is a commercial product, its free version is being used with increasing frequency among teachers and schools interested in global education projects. Skype is being used to facilitate language exchange. Students in different parts of the world are paired off, each is a native speaker of the language that the other wishes to learn. In conversations over Skype they alternate between the two languages
Microsoft Outlook:
Thanks for giving us such a wonderful mailing platform. It has made sending mails fast, reliable and secure.
Microsoft Virtual Academy: Do as many courses as you can and be updated with the things you learn and also learn from everywhere and this will bring the world of opportunities in front of you.
Not just these but Internet explorer, XBOX, Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Server , these all have made life of people more easy and convenient. Thanks to Microsoft Dreamspark which I think is the best initiative by Microsoft for helping student by providing free software and encouraging them to do more and more projects.
Windows 8 & 8.1 versions has great features and they brought great changes to the desktop environment and also made the internet life easy with the built-in apps & also supporting account synchronization & it also has great User Interface . It was a small glimpse of how Microsoft is an integral part of my life and how it has brought immense impact on me.



How I plan to bring a change to the society being a Microsoft Student Associate ?

As I got benefited a lot from Microsoft I am waiting to become a part of Microsoft Student Associate so that I can spread the knowledge about the wonderful Microsoft products which have impacted my life.
I will introduce students to various Microsoft products and will also organize various events, Boot camps & Workshops in my college. I will also encourage students to contribute to Microsoft society and bring change in the best possible way. I will guide and motivate students who are interested in Microsoft Technologies. “Share and spread what you learn” this is what I believe. I ensure that if I become MSA, I will provide students an opportunity to share and learn.

Thank You
