How I overcame challenges to achieve my ambitions in life so far?
If you have a dream, don’t just sit there. Gather courage to believe that you can succeed and leave no stone unturned to make it a reality.” ― Roopleen
Back in 2012, I took my JEE exam, but I couldn’t clear it that year. Negative thoughts lingered on my mind & getting into an IIT, seemed to be an unachievable dream for me. My parents insisted me to join any college. Growing up in the small town of Dausa, I had always had big dreams for myself and this failure didn’t fit in the story. So, I decided that I would not give up because I wanted much more and I knew that my perseverance would make me deserve it as well. I persuaded my parents & started preparing for the next year. After relentless hard work came my admission letter for IIT Roorkee, but along with it also came the confidence of achievement after a failure. That one year gave me an opportunity to develop myself not only as a student but as an individual. Patience & confidence that I showed in those hard times helped me overcome that challenge. Everyone faces multiple challenges in life and you can’t go further and achieve something if you don’t have challenges to overcome. One of the other challenges that I faced was while I was preparing for CAT, I was very weak in Verbal ability and reading comprehension section. I got 50%ile in varc year before and it was very challenging to clear the cutoff (85%ile) this time. It took a lot of hard work, patience, analysis and positive mindset to not only achieve the target but to go beyond that and prove myself.
