Challenges overcome by me.
After completing my under graduation I decided that I want to pursue MBA as my post graduate degree. After coming back to home I started preparing for CAT examination with all diligence. I have a younger brother and a younger sister and my mother is a housewife, so my father has to look after all of our expenses alone. I didn’t wanted to put any burden on my parents as at that time the economical condition of my home was not very good. I started taking tuitions of students from 9
th to 12
th so that I can at least manage my own expenses.
One month before CAT I had an accident. I got severe cuts all over my hands, knees and a scar on my head. I was not able to write for almost 2 weeks and the pain was also very excruciating. I lost all hope, I thought I would not be able to prepare for my exam well and I will have to drop again to write the examination. But my parents motivated and supported me at all times. They made me believe that there is nothing that I cannot do. I took hold of my parents advice and started preparing again with more hard work and passion. That one month made me learn that how important it is to stay motivated and not lose hope . Ultimately I wrote the exam and got into a prestigious college Xavier Institute of Management Bhubaneshwar. This made me learn that if you believe you can achieve anything you want.#ABGLWooMe
