Life is never simple. It comes with its own set of challenges and the joy of life is the satisfaction that you get once you overcome these challenges. Like everyone else, I also have faced several challenges in my life in the quest to achieve my ambitions. I have always dreamt to be an investment banker and had started working towards that goal since I was 18. One of the biggest challenges in fulfilling my ambition was to get into a business school which would provide me with both, the required skill set and opportunities and exposure in the related field. To fulfil my ambition of being an investment banker, I always knew that getting into a top business school of national repute was of paramount importance. I had my eyes set on which colleges I wished to go to and started working on my preparations. Preparing for the entrance exams was just a small part of the overall preparations. Being a fresher, I knew that to stand a chance of getting admission into some of the best institutes, I had to work on my profile and hence along with my graduation, started working to gain insights into how a business runs and also help widen my knowledge. This experience helped me in understand how to apply the theory learnt into the practical world. Also to gain insights into the markets, I started trading first on a virtual platform and then after some time started investing some money into the markets just to gain practical knowledge of investing, as experience is the best teacher. After burning the midnight oil, I finally got into IIM Raipur, which was a big step in fulfilling my ambition and it certainly is one of the best times that I have ever had. Now I do feel that my dream is certainly a lot closer than where it was last year.
