ABGLP Part-B

There always comes a time in everyone’s lives where they are on crossroads and their decisions are put to test. One such crossroad I encountered was in my final year of engineering. Haunted by the fact that the responsibilities of family of 6 will be shouldered by my inexperienced self soon, my decision to give a direction to my career was put to test. A lot of variable factors were to be weighed carefully before I decided to choose my next path for my career. This was vital as it would aid me in becoming capable enough to achieve the same. Running through all the calculations and possible outcomes in my mind with the help of my family and friends, I decided to go abroad for my further studies, to test my mettle so as to achieve a better life for my family and me. Being from a middle-class family, a dearth of monetary supply was bound to exist which led my grandfather to put his hard-earned life’s money at stake and sanction a loan for my bright future. And so, began my life’s next chapter in a foreign country among strangers who were soon to become my friends. Like every exciting journey has its share of obstacles, mine was not different. Deteriorating health and loss of focus led me to more and more frustrating days. In the end, after spending two months in a country of opportunities, I had to return to my home country only to face criticism of being a quitter by those who were close to me. A person’s will to move forward would shatter to pieces after taking such a sudden decision, however, despite all the criticism, my family did not leave my side and encouraged me to stand on my feet. Aware of the pre-existing responsibilities, I decided to give my sweat and blood to MBA entrance exams which were only a couple of months away. Driven by the urge to prove myself that I am not what everyone is calling me, I excelled in multiple entrance exams and converted calls from multiple coveted B-Schools with just 2 months preparations. In the end it was my ambitions and my family’s support that led me to where I am now today.
