It is indeed one of it’s kind.
Similarly, I too had to face several challenges to reach this point in my life. One of the major challenges that I have had to face was my social anxiety. School had always been a safe space for me, I was with the people that I had grown up with, hence the issue never presented itself in my initial years. It first came to light when I had to appear for college interviews for my undergraduate studies. I wouldn’t have turned up for the interview if it wasn’t for my parents encouraging words. They asked me to my best and everything else would fall into place. I took a deep breath and went ahead with this in mind and it has stayed with me ever since.
This resulted in me securing a place in one of the top ten undergraduate colleges of the Country. Here I was able to work on my social anxiety by being a part of various events and committees and interacting with people. During my interviews for my MBA degree, I was able to deal with my social anxiety in a much better way and make it through TAPMI. I still have a long way to go in this regard but, I will never let it stop me from achieving my goals. Just like perseverance of the ABG led them to reach great heights, I hope to do so as well.
