Challenge…what can be a bigger challenge than getting back to your normal life after coming to know that the person you love the most, your ultimate protector upon whom you could trust even in your worst nightmares…your own father is now into the laps of God himself. My father passed away when I was only sixteen years old, just stepped into class 12th when I came to know that my father is no more. “Earth slipping right beneath the feet” I thinks no one understands this phrase better than me. Honestly speaking, I just could not believe the fact that I would never be able to talk with the person because of whom I had liveliness in my life. Well, time went by and my performance in studies and all other activities started degrading as I just could not focus on anything, I mean literally on anything. His image always used to glance through my eyes. It was something which I just couldn’t explain myself that any such incident has happened. Months went by and the condition of my family and myself worsened. I really stopped studying at all despite the fact that I was one of the top students in my school. After six months, seeing my situation, my mother initiated a conservation to me. Her very first lines were:
”You see this society, its very cruel and insensitive. If you are gonna destroy yourself just in the memories of your father, this society won’t say that you couldn’t succeed in life not because of a horrific tragedy, but because your mother couldn’t control you alone. You became a youth of free will, overflown by various hormones of adolescence, a spoilt boy with no control of guardian.”
These lines struck me like a lightening. Nothing till date in my life has struck me so hard. Only thing that was coming to my mind is yes her words would really happen though because of a different reason, but eventually, I would be a loser if I keep myself in the agony of my demised father. From that very moment, I decided I will glitter the names of my parents in the public. I will be a person with a vision which would be followed by many. Today, by my dedication and determination, I am a student of NITIE Mumbai, one of the top premier B-Schools of India at an age of twenty-two. Right after passing my B.Tech from Institute of Infrastructure Technology Research and Management Ahmedabad, I enrolled myself in NITIE, the first solid steps to garner qualities in myself for becoming a visionary leader.
Hence the driving forces to keep high the head of my family along with my dedication and determination helped me overcome my challenges.
