During my school days, I suffered from Maths anxiety. Even though I studied hard and was up to date with the syllabus, during exams I got nervous and that impacted my score. This started taking a toll on my self-confidence. The financial position of my family was not that good at that time that they could afford a private tutor for me. I realized that It was only me who could take charge of the situation and change it. I toiled hard, took help from my friends and slowly I could see an improvement in my situation. I was able to control my anxiety during exams and my scores improved. Later on, I took Science in Std XII and pursued engineering which seemed impossible earlier. During engineering, I had to take tuition to support my expenses as my family was not in a good financial condition to be able to do that. During my college days, I was pretty sure that I wanted to pursue my post-graduation but I needed to take up a job as my father had already retired and I needed to step up and provide monetary support for my family. I had got 5 job offers on campus and I chose to join a leading IT firm. Although I was working, I started studying simultaneously so that I could clear the competitive exams and get admitted to a leading B-school. It was not easy; the stress and workload were getting to me. It was difficult to continue with the job as well as studies but still, I persevered. Finally, after 2 years of slogging, I could clear the interview with one of the leading B-School in India. The path was not easy but it was worth it at the end.
