“What doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger”. This is the saying which has helped me get
through the most difficult phases of my life.
I have been a very sincere student throughout my life. I have been good in academics,
known what to do, how to execute and was the only one placed during my campus
placements in graduation college. So, in a nutshell, life had been pretty sorted for me.
But during my first year at work, I realized the learning curve had started declining and
pretty soon, I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do next. Though, MBA was always on the cards,
it was the execution part I wasn’t sure of. Working hours and the long commutes made it
difficult to prepare along with the job. But this was the part which was still manageable, it
was the pressure of performing well and meeting the expectations while working in a job
which didn’t excite me anymore. This just made me anxious and eventually I decided to quit
my job and focus my full attention to prepare for entrances.
This phase too was not easy and was full of hurdles. Fear of missing out, mock tests, mock
GDs, mock interviews, not performing well, trying again, all this was exhausting. But this is
what got me here. It made me realize that best doesn’t come without failures or challenges.
The whole journey, now in retrospect, seems like the most fruitful one. It made me
emotionally and mentally strong and got me where I wanted to be. I guess, in the end that’s
the only thing that matters.
