My Journey to FMS

My Journey to FMS

I come from a small town in Jharkhand , Bagodar . I did my initial schooling in my hometown and since it is a village and I had a humble background I had to study from a vernacular medium school . Here I never tried to speak in English In front of people and this made me believe that I can’t communicate in English. I took it as a fact and never tried to communicate in English till my final year of B.Tech .

How I Overcame Challenges To Achieve My Ambitions in Life So Far

I have always been someone who is extremely hardworking, sincere and dedicated and who does not compromise on her academics no matter what. Growing up, I always gave preference to my studies and maintained a consistent academic record throughout my school and college career. During my final year B.Tech placements, I couldn't crack the aptitude rounds to make it through any company selection process. For someone who had never seen failure, this stung right through my heart. All throughout my graduation I had worked extremely hard and not getting that dream job offer you had been wanting for so long just broke me apart. What's next? Obviously, sitting and crying was not an option. My initial plans consisted of getting a work experience for a few years and then heading towards my MBA. Since plan A was a major fail, I decided to move on to plan B.
