When I was 10, I observed blood coming out of my urine. I was diagnosed with kidney failure and was advised to get it removed before the infection spreads to other organs. My economically weak parents who had big dreams for their kids now had an even bigger mountain to scale whilst I was completely oblivious to the seriousness of the situation. A lot happened in the two years to follow with several unsuccessful attempts made to cure my situation. The entire family stuck with each other, working hard each day to fulfill the additional expense and helped me recuperate from my situation. This period in my life helped me build deep respect for my family, one which I still hold close to my heart.
Life slowly but steadily took a turn for good. Due to a deep respect for education that has been inculcated in me by my father, I excelled academically. During the same period, the family's economic condition improved. I got a professional opportunity with one of the largest conglomerates in India where I received significant success. Later with the motivation from my family and superiors, I decided to obtain a management degree which led me to one of the most respected management institutions in India.
My story is a work in progress but if asked to be summarized it is a story of hard work, deep family values and an ongoing pursuit for knowledge.
