High School Gradation

After dropping out of high school many time

times due to family problems, I never thought

I would graduate. When that day came there

was a special person attending, the late NDP

leader Jack Layton who was the guest speaker.

The main task for me was that I had so many

problems going on that I wasn’t able to

balance school, work and family. However,

with encouragement from my family I didn’t

give up and I was able to finish high school.

This resulted in bringing me to Centennial

College for a post graduate adv. diploma, and

offering hope that you are never too late or

old for to succeed.

Online Music Production

I had a desire to do Tamil music for longest

time. However it was very hard because there

weren’t many resources available, and the cost

was too high. I needed to go to India in order to

do produce my album. In 2010 I collaborated

with a music producer, who is based in Italy, to

create my music through the internet. We

recorded instruments in India while over seeing

it through Skype. We also did vocal recording in

Canada and used musicians in Italy. As result

we made the very first album that was

recorded online through 3 different continents,

broadening the path for other Tamil artists to

create their own music.

Video InterviewIn Career exploration class I had a

assignment where I had to do a video

interview. I wanted mine stand out the

most and have equal quality to some

professional videos that the professor

showed in previous classes. I saw the task

at hand and I wanted to impress him. I

contacted a friend who owns a studio, who

is an expert in editing. We spent over 5

hours for 2 minutes of film. In the end, this

video was very professional and equal to

what professor presented.

Charity ProgramIn 2011, my friends and I decided to host a

music concert to raise money for people in

Sri- Lanka. To finish the task, we need to give

a quality program to the audience in order to

sell tickets. Many musicians and myself

practiced for many days and it sometimes

went past midnight. The event was a success

and we were able to help many families in Sri

Lanka; providing food and basic needs (in

picture you can see the kids who is about to

receive school supplies). The next program is

scheduled later this year where we will raise

money to supply artificial legs for war-victims

in Sri-Lanka.

Linkedin Assignement

Another assignment I had in school was to create a Linkedin

account. I had no idea about what Linkedin was and I was

little worried. I saw that there is

lot to do. However I followed the

steps I needed to take to finish

the assignment. In the end I got 97.5 % on this assignment.
