“ When the going gets tough, the tough gets going”
These words ignite a fire in me to keep going forward even in the most difficult of times. Everyone faces challenges in life that test us in their own way but the important thing is we all try to go past them as it is human nature. My life has not faced many big challenges, at least they don’t seem so big now, but at an individual level these challenges were like mountains that I had to climb.
Back in 2018 after a gap of 1 and half year with my friends going across the globe to achieve their goals and doing wonderful in their life made me happy for them but also made me realize that I have lagged behind. This may not be a big challenge holistically but at an individual level these mental challenges tend to either demotivate you or motivate you to pick yourself up. So in 2018 I finally decided to take matters into my own hands and started preparing for GMAT exam. As my mathematics was weak I really did not have much confidence to crack the exam. However after hard work of months I was finally able to achieve a score that really boosted my morale.
This is my story of overcoming challenges and my learning is to keep persevering even when the odds are against you.
