Overcoming challenges and getting a tough job done is a lot more satisfying than a job done easily. Like most others, challenges have been an integral part of my life right since childhood. Because of my father’s transferrable job, the fact that I had to change schools almost every two years from a very young age and adjust to the new settings with everything and everyone unknown including new classmates and teachers presented a tough situation every now and then. However, the fact that I was exposed to such situations and was able to overcome them successfully from such an early age made me adaptable and made me confident to tackle such hurdles in future as well. This was followed by my college life where I was away from home for the first time and had to take care of not only my academics but also my day to day activities for the first time. Also, there were several specific competitions during that time in which I participated to challenge myself even after being aware that there are others who have much better relevant skill-set than I possess for that event. The next big challenge in my life was to work in a core engineering/construction company after my graduation where I had to interact with so many different kinds of people at remote project sites. The task of supervising the sub-contractors and their workers to complete the work done within the tight customer deadlines made me nervous initially. However, after sometime, I overcame the challenge and started enjoying the sense of responsibility. Finally, after 3 years of work experience, the decision of leaving my job with good growth prospects both in the short and long run and deciding to pursue my dream of doing an MBA was not easy. The process of transforming from a company employee to a student once again was another challenge which I could overcome successfully to get the opportunity to pursue my MBA from a reputed B-School.
