Aditya Birla Group: A beacon to Every Individual - Repakula Mounika, IIM - Vishakapatnam

How I overcame challenges to achieve my ambitions in life so far?

In every individual life, there comes the point where they have to take a critical decision that challenges their future life. I am a B.Tech undergraduate of electronics and communication engineering. I am one of the two persons who got selected for the long term internship at my college. I used to love my work as it gave me a lot of opportunities to learn new things and also get to know the new way of doing things too. Everything is going the way it has planned. But at a point in time, I felt like this is not what I am aiming at, and I have got a lot more to do than what I am currently doing. The critical decision I have to make is to either continue the work as a regular employee with good pay being a fresher or pursue post-graduation, which helps me drive through my dreams. I finally decided to do an MBA, thereby not to regret later. But the big task is that I have to convince my parents to choose the path I want to go, which is a big task as already a few personal and financial problems going on. With support from my cousins and siblings, they agreed on this decision. So I left the PPO offer and started preparing for the CAT. After a year, I am here at IIM Vishakapatnam to pursue my dreams, learn and to face challenges in life furthermore as they are part of it.
