Challenges Overcome:
“You should never view your challenges as a disadvantage. Instead, it is important for you to understand that your experience facing and overcoming adversity is actually one of your biggest advantages” – Michelle Obama.
What is life without any challenges? They are the milestones which define the roadmap of our success. They pull us out of our comfort zones and make us resilient in the face of adversity.
The challenging situation of my life was when I couldn’t make it through any of the MBA entrance examinations. I started my MBA entrance prep from June 2017 and appeared for several entrance examinations. But couldn’t clear any of them. This made me question my abilities. It was a very challenging period as I had to manage both my work and studies simultaneously. And even after putting that amount of effort I couldn’t clear any examination.
But no matter what kind of difficulties we have to go through in our life, it is our inner strength which gives us the courage to face them. It was my grit and determination that kept me going on. I left my job to focus on the preparation and appeared for the examinations again in 2018. This time I cracked IIFT’s entrance test and decided to not to let this opportunity slip. I put in all my efforts to clear the interview process and finally got into one of the premier B-schools of the country.
Failures of previous year taught me to be resilient and helped me achieve my goal through perseverance and determination. I emerged as a stronger and more optimistic person.
