I am also the Vice-President of the Career Counseling Club of my college. In the past I have incorporated activities with the intention of contributing back to society like while staying at my village, I have been teaching in a school and some underprivileged children and am trying to figure out the problems the kids are facing and how I can contribute after doing MBA and that's my main long term purpose to do MBA now.
