Challenges are a part of life and overcoming them make us who we are today. As the saying goes, without the dark, there is o meaning of light, and that’s what challenges prepare us for, the better days. Challenges can be of many kinds, it can be school, to work, to personal life, and it can come at anytime so overcoming them with dignity and strength is what makes me stand strong today. Being in my early 20’s and not yet being exposed to the real world, my challenges might seem very trivial as of now but that’s all I had to face so far and hence I am going to mention those. The major challenge I faced till now was not related to education but its about fitting into a new environment when I moved into a new city for my higher education. Throughout my early years I was knows as someone who is very extroverted and bubbly, I could make friends really fast and had a long list of them, but everything changed when I moved. For the first time in my life I was scared of making friends and fitting in and my fear turned into a reality and I started feeling distant. I started getting to be known as an introvert which two years back, nobody would believe is true. But after spending a few weeks, I started making a few friends and through interacting with them I got to know something that really changed my perception. I got to know that the reason I was not making friends was because of the fear and the belief that I had that I couldn’t make friends which gave off a very wrong vibe on my part. After this, the fear was gone and I went back to being my old self which was difficult initially but really relieving snd now again, the list is still growing!
