My childhood has witnessed few remarkable incidences which taught me to take challenges positively because as I was right told that these challenges are the actual tests of my potential and will help me see different shades of my own self. One of the most significant challenge was to stay without my father for seven years of my childhood and teenage. My father had gone abroad due to his work and this situation changed my entire outlook toward life at a young age. Today I feel that this incidence was a manageable affair, but for a 10 year old girl, to might not be so. Few years into it, I realized that cribbing about it would not have helped any of my parents and it was the time to become a source of support for them rather than just stay in denial. Being a single child, I could have been a strength to my mother, and this realization helped me grow into a different person that I ever thought I would be.
Today, as I am about to complete my second year of MBA, I can better adapt to the incidence and now understand the importance of work and the efforts which have to be put into making one’s career.My life was hugely impacted because of the distance I had with my father. But now, at the age of 23, I have made peace with this past of my life, and as I ready to enter the corporate world, I completely agree that his decision was right.
