Challenges of Life and How I Overcame It:

My father works in a public sector undertaking where he gets transferred after every three to four years. As a part of his job, he was located to a small town in Punjab, while we were situated in Dehradun. Dehradun is known as an educational hub and my brother and I were studying in the academically best school of the city. We decided not to move with my father in rder to not have an impact on our education. That was a very challenging and difficult period of my life. Being a daddy’s little girl, I would get emotional and start missing my father. I would just wait to return home from school to call dad to tell each and every detail of day in school. Gradually, I realized that this situation is for the long term benefit of my education. And that this period of stay is temporary and shall pass very soon. I learnt to see the bigger objectives in life and remain optimistic. I understood that it is not only me who is getting effected but also both my parents who are staying miles apart for our good. I became full of gratitude and all the more and respectful and proud of my parents and became a sincere and focused student.
