When I was 10 years old, I was introduced to super markets and then I got to hear different brands. Multi national brands, which I did not even know what, they meant. I remember my 10th birthday my parents gifted me my first branded clothes from pantaloons children section. I wore that outfit for my next 3 years. The special thing is the memories that I got which are saved in the pictures from my childhood. I still remember wearing the same outfit for most of the actives because I loved it so much. That outfit from Pantaloons will always be close to my heart for the flash back I get whenever I see the pictures. When I got into the college I wanted to have a transformation of my wardrobe. I had a complete transformation as I bought at least 10 shirts from Allen Solly as I really liked their shirts collection. I really helped me be more confident as a lot of people complemented me on the good shirt. I felt more confident and I wanted to buy more shirts. I still remember I really liked one shirt and I did not have enough money to buy it. After a few months, my parents gifted me that shirt as they saw how much I wanted that shirt. It was probably one of the best gifts someone has ever gifted me. When I was coming to SIBM for my interview, I had no formal shirts as being a fresher I never had a chance to use them. I bought a lot of formal shirts from Peter England and I believe they are one of my lucky shirts as I got selected into this college.  I really liked the formal shirt collection, which they offered.

When I went to Delhi for my 10-meter air pistol shooting nationals, I was away from home and I was nervous for the competition. i had no one to talk to in order to release my nervousness. Before the competition, I called my mother and I told her about how nervous I was feeling, then she told me one thing. “Perseverance is the key to success. What you do in these pressure situations is what will define you and your destiny.” This gave me the confidence to take on the challenge and I performed really well in the competition. I realized that everybody goes through difficult times but what someone does in that time makes them different. There can be 1,000 people who must have tried and failed but the world only knows Elon Musk. People who don’t give up during the difficult times make them the champion. A diamond is carved under pressure. We do not remember normal situations. However, we remember situations where we had to face any difficulty and how we managed to come out of it. The completion made me realize that no job is too difficult to achieve if you put your heart into it. If you are well trained before, the job will be easy. Facing the adverse situation made me who I am today and I am glad that I had to go through it.
