How you overcame challenges to achieve your ambitions in life so far
In my growing up years, I was overweight and one of the heaviest students in my class, due to which, I was constantly made fun of which in turn affected my confidence levels. I was not allowed to participate in any of the extra-curricular activities, in spite of being good at it. My physical training teacher disqualified me from the school's badminton team as I was deemed unfit to participate in a tournament of that stature. It was a depressing phase in my life; it started to affect my academics too.
After months of going through a low phase, I decided to let go of the past and started to put efforts into getting into shape. I started to follow my own diet and got myself enrolled in badminton and swimming clubs. Eight months of rigorous discipline and training enabled me to lose 13kgs; this not only made me feel confident but also made people take notice of my sporting abilities.
My moment of redemption came in the 4th year of my B.Tech when I was able to win the badminton tournament for my department. It was a great moment of joy and it was that moment when I realized that "It is the journey, and NOT the destination, which matters".
