Not everything comes easily to everyone. For some it takes days, for some it is months and for some it is years. For me it took quite some time to get the choice I wanted. It had been an official goodbye to the secured school life when my 10
th grade result had been announced and it was time to enter the college life. Getting into one of best colleges in the city was my dream like every other student.
When the merit list for colleges was displayed I was really hoping to get into Narsee Monjee College of Commerce and Economics. But I had missed the cut off by some marks. It was more heartbreaking for me as most of my school friends had made it through to NM. I took admission in a different college and strove to study hard and get into NM after my 12
th.
After two years when it was time for my 12
th grade results all I was hoping was to clear the cut off of NM. But things were no different even this time. I could not make it to NM even that year. All my hopes of getting into the college of my dreams were gone.
After I started my graduation degree in another college I was quite sad about the fact of having missed the chance of getting into NM. But soon I started to see things in a different way. I decided to make the most of what I had. I became very determined on getting the best grades in the college throughout the three years of my course. I kept on working hard to achieve what I wanted and I did it. I got the highest grade throughout all the years of my degree college. It was a great thing for me.
Later when I started working, I decided to go for an MBA. I started studying for it and gave almost all the entrance exams to various institutes. NMIMS was one of them. Some of the results were not really good and I was starting to get worried about it. But again I kept on going and did not give up. Then one day finally the results of NMAT were out and I had made it.
After the group discussions and personal interviews were done I was still worried about getting through with it. And then came the day when the final merit list was declared. I made it. It was one of the happiest days for me. I had finally made it to the college where I wanted to be since a long time.
The learning that I got from this was to never give up, no matter what. Your hard work pays off. Just keep going and one day you will definitely make it to the destination you have been wishing and waiting for.
