My name is Darshana Parvati Singh. I was born and raised in the City of Bhopal, Capital of the Indian Province of Madhya Pradesh. I've always been different from others ever since I could remember. As a young woman in the Republic of India, I've always had the feeling that my destiny lay elsewhere. My father Raju Singh always encouraged me to pursue my dreams. I enrolled at Rajiv Gandhi Technical University, one of our Province's top schools, way ahead of most of my peers. By the time I was twenty I had a bachelor's degree in Computer Science. My agile intelligence and confidence earned me the esteem of my professors and the envy of my fellow students. It also attracted a lot of international attention.
Athena Monroe, a very beautiful and intelligent Black lady from Canada, was one of the visiting professors at Rajiv Gandhi Technical University during my senior year. She came from the University of Toronto in Canada, and took an interest in me. I can't thank her enough for all the wonderful things she's done for me since we met. Athena Monroe is an amazing woman. She helped me apply for an international scholarship. Something most of the top students at India's top colleges and universities could only dream of. I applied to colleges and universities in America, Canada, and the United Kingdom. I got accepted at Carleton University in the City of Ottawa, Canada's Capital. The place where I would meet my ultimate destiny. Apparently, America's very own Harvard University and Britain's very own Oxford University didn't like what I had to offer. I'm a Muslim gal from India and I happen to have an IQ of 180. A lot of men and women in the Western World find that intimidating. I totally get it. Insecure fools.
Well, since the United States of America and Great Britain didn't want me, I opted for Canada. In the City of Ottawa I experienced a lot of culture shock. I didn't know the Capital of Canada was so racially diverse. Everywhere I looked I saw Chinese folks, Black people, and of course Hispanics and Arabs. Some of India's top cities like Mumbai are fairly diverse, but the rest aren't. Canada is unlike any other place I've ever seen. I once visited my paternal grandparents in Los Angeles, California, where they live. While quite diverse, the State of California was far different from the Province of Ontario. For starters, Ontario was bigger but with a smaller population. What an exciting place to live! And Carleton University reflected the racial diversity of Ottawa.
I moved into my dormitory at Carleton University, and thus my journey began. I had gotten accepted into the prestigious Sprott Business School of Canada's very own Carleton University. One of the best business schools in the Confederation of Canada. I thought about pursuing a master's degree in Computer Science at Carleton University but work in the I.T. field has dried up. I wanted to get a decent job after graduating from Carleton University so I decided a master's degree in business would go a long way toward satisfying that goal. I've met a lot of computer science guys and gals who were out of work in India. From what I hear, the situation is the same in North America. I have no desire to join their ranks.
