As we all know that life without challenges is meaningless and boring. All of us by some means or the other have faced challenges in life, but its not about the challenges we face but how we overcome them and emerge as a stronger and better Individual.
The biggest challenge that I faced was at the time when I was in my 12th Standard and it was round about one and half month from my board exams. Being a commerce student in order to get admission in a decent college you had to score very decent marks in the CBSE SSC examinations and like every other person of that stream and age I too had the same dream and ambition, But a major setback to my dreams was an accident I met on 21st January 2016, when In order to save a women walking without any attention on the road , I had to divert my vehicle and that resulted in a steep slip which eventually resulted in my face hitting the divider on the road. 24 stitches and 2 plasters it took to get me up and running again and by the time I was actually able to start studying again it was only 10 days left for the board exams. In a very true sense those 10 days taught me lessons which I didn’t learn throughout my life, I studied 19-20 hours a day and with a still recovering body slept just for 50 hours throughout those 10 days. I was trying to leave no stone unturned for my preparation and was very focused on my board exams right after my accident, even when I was not able to read and write, I used to watch youtube videos for help and I am glad that with god’s grace I got 92% in the 12th standard which opened the door of Hans Raj College(One of the best art colleges in the nation) and the rest as they say is history.

Sumit Kumar Choudhary , IIM-Visakhapatnam , 2019-21. I cannot be encapsulated in words rather I need action to define myself. Choice of language plays an inevitable role in expressing oneself and when you believe that verbal means are the only way left for you then you need to start all over again to understand "Who is you?' and 'What means of expression suits you best'. Peter F. Drucker said that you should know your weakness and I know that I am reticent with my words but I am equally best and articulate when expressed in terms of actions.
Very well articulated, shubham. A read worth the time.
