Being a single child, I was always shy and an introvert kid. Always buried in books and finding innovative ways to keep myself occupied, my parent,s pampered me. When I joined the engineering college, it was the first time I was away from home. Not accustomed to being alone, it was a turning point in my life. The initial few months were a little difficult to adjust. But with a resolve to change myself, I started to interact with more and more people possible. I got into AIESEC, a non-profit organization which was a platform for me to evolve into a new person altogether. For a shy person that I was, I was given a role in Outgoing Exchange team. This required me to talk to new people every-day and convince them for the exchange program of AIESEC. After this, there was no turning back!
I also organized a week-long event for which I was responsible for getting the sponsorships. Making regular calls, meeting new people every-day, coming up with strategies with a different set of people pushed me out of my comfort zone.
I have realized that the only way to escape your fear to face the challenges head-on. It refines you as a person. Now I am an independent person who loves to handle her problems. I readily mix up with people and connect easily. MBA being everything about learning in a diverse environment and networking, I think I will now make the most of the two years and shine in the future.
