My journey in life has been a roller coaster ride which has seen many ups and an equal number if not more of lows which were really hard to deal with and today I am glad that I’ve been through them and I am thankful for all the lessons that life has taught me till now.
I have been a bright student throughout my entire school life with high CGPA in 10th and 12th which everybody in India expects and aspires to get and I joined engineering post that because of the family tradition. (My father and brother both are engineers too). It did not excite me much and being an 18 year old person out of home living on my own the first time, I kind of lost track of where I eventually wanted to be. As a result, I passed my engineering with a 5.7 pointer which was quite low given that I had been a scholar student my entire life. I went on to work with some top brands post my engineering in the sales division and I finally found something which I was good at. I was successful in my career of 2.5 years and hence I eyed a managerial position since I believed I had the skill set to become one. I started preparing for my MBA and went through the procedures and in the meanwhile, I quit my job even when the results were not out yet partially because of my over confidence. As a matter of fact, I could not convert any college in my first attempt and that gave me a seat back in my journey. I had hit rock bottom with being unemployed for about 6 months with no path ahead. I did not give up on my dreams and I again joined another organization and started from scratch and attempted the exams for the second time and my marks flourished and I came to be a part of one of the most established institutes in India.
I now await what this journey has in store for me and I look forward to embrace the challenges and come out to be a much better and a stronger individual with incremental improvements and learnings at the end of it all.
