Challenges are what make life interesting, and overcoming them is what makes lives meaningful. Being a jovial & carefree personality since childhood, I can take challenges in stride and make the best of the opportunity presented to me. A major challenge that I have faced in life is to manage time effectively among academics, co-curricular and extra-curricular, especially during my school days. I had this gut feeling that I won’t be able to perform exceptionally well in academics if I diverted my focus towards other activities. Moreover, my school was also academic-oriented and thus, I never had the opportunity to overcome it. I did participate in extra-curricular activities held in school but at a very basic level. So, I made it a point to overcome this challenge in under graduation. During my graduation, I voluntarily became a member of Commerce society and 180 Degree Consulting Club. Challenging me, I along with the first-year team orchestrated the flagship event of Commerce Society – BizStreet. It was a great success and surprisingly, I even fared well in academics. Since I wanted to remove the fear of being unable to manage things effectively, I also took up the 180 Degree Consulting Club project while I was also preparing for the entrance exams. And, yes; I did it. I was not only able to plan my schedule well but also manage them successfully. That day I felt so elated and also ready to face the rigor of the MBA curriculum. It was then I realized that the saying- “We don’t grow when things are easy; we grow when we face challenges” is true.
