Taking up challenges and working on my incapability has been my attitude towards life.
Growing up, I was not good at science or math, and I found myself with excellent grades in every subject except the two. So, I decided to take up science in my higher education, trying to make sense of something that was like a foreign language to me, with so much competition and most doing better than I was. I didn’t go down without a fight and was determined, organized and focused to do well.
I persisted through all the complexity and bulk of the material and did well enough in my board exams. After that, knowing that science wasn’t my calling, I decided to pursue finance. I found everyone already leagues ahead of me while I still struggled to understand what ledgers were. However, I reinforced a belief that just because others had a headstart, doesn’t mean they were better. I used my logical ability advantage and leveraged my data interpretation skills, and by the fourth semester, my score in management accounting was the most in the college’s history. I cleared both the papers of CMA with excellent scores, while almost everyone else failed to get the passing score. I ended up being the fastest in my college with a professional certification, and my score still stands unbeaten, by a mile.
Right now, I find myself doing MBA in NMIMS, an institution with some of the best brains in the country, consisting of a pack of engineers and people with years of work experience, thus having way better endurance, maturity and understanding. That fails to intimidate me and I still will not go down without a fight.
