My single largest achievement so far has been getting an admission in IIM Raipur as a PGP student. I had always been a promising student and naturally expectations were high. Unfortunately, after an impeccable record of academics and extra curriculars in my school, I performed horribly average in my 12th boards. After the results were out my confidence took a big hit and for a brief period in time I began second guessing my decisions and spent a lot of time regretting past events. That time, I now realize, could definitely have been spent more productively. However, after a brief trough in my growth curve, I began working again at my aim to be among the best. During my preparation for getting into a business school I got to know myself a lot better than I ever had before. I no longer ignored my weaknesses but rather worked on them. During the process I got to know my likes and dislikes and actually made a genuine effort to improve myself as a person. I stopped taking academics and many other things for granted. This preparatory phase helped me overcome my lack of confidence and helped me grow emotionally. The acceptance of my candidature was the cherry on top and I mean to make the most of this opportunity and improve in leaps and bounds from now on till the end. I regret letting down the expectations of everyone during my higher secondary days. The investment that went into my education had been huge and I took everything for granted. I lacked the basic maturity to understand that success doesn’t come free. Hours of blood and sweat need to be put in. Since then I’ve made amends as much as I could to rectify the mistakes made. I also stopped being self-obsessed and tried to do my bit in giving back to the society by teaching under-privileged kids at Children’s Homes in Kolkata. This activity gave me a whole new sense of purpose and I felt passionate about continuing this activity all my life. It made me appreciate my position a whole lot more. I am still learning a lot about the world and myself and I hope this never stops. I hope to inspire and influence many of my peers to give back to the world as much as they have received, and if possible a bit more.
