PART 2
It is an immense pleasure for me to share my experiences and story of my life so far. My ambition in life is to live an independent and successful life. I choose MBA as a platform for achieving my objective. Being from a conservative family it was very difficult for me to convince my parents to let me pursue my education and career outside my city. After rigorous efforts and my parents believing my dedication , I finally convinced them to support me to fulfill my dreams.
So it was finally time when I started my preparations for upcoming competitive exams. As i knew that it was my only chance, I started giving my 100% towards my which studies. But the biggest mistake which I committed in this phase was that I isolated myself from every other thing which includes spending time with my parents, siblings and friends. I restricted myself to my room for studying and it impacted my mental health in the worst way possible. After few months I was diagnosed with depression because of which I was advised complete rest by my doctor. The biggest problem for me at that time was not my health but the upcoming exams which were just 1 month away.
I was dishearten at first. But being a sedulous person, I never gave up and instead came up even stronger. Within few days I was able to control my problem to a great extent without any medication. This made me even more dedicated towards my goals ans I scored well in my exams. Clearing all my interviews was another milestone for me and today I am sitting in one of the topmost college of our country, sharing my experience.
The biggest lesson which i learnt from this incidence was that a person should maintain a balance between each and every thing they do and also that whatever the situation is, one should never give up.
