WINNING OVER SELF

Everyone in this world has a personality which defines him/her. It all falls down to a person’s personality that will decide whether the person would be liked or disdain. As a teenager growing up from a small town, I was a very reserved and introvert person. I could even count the number of people I talked to during my high school and higher secondary days. Being from a lower middle class family, we faced many challenges but the biggest challenge for me was not my studies nor my family’s financial status or any other reasons. It was within myself. It was my introvert personality. Days, weeks, months, years passed by but i didn't change. I was comfort within my small circle with just handful of friends. 

But three years back, as I was doing my engineering, I realized that I needed to grow as a person  and I can’t live my life the way I was living. And for that I had to come out of my comfort zone. So I decided to engage myself in various events and be a part of it. Although it was nerve breaking at the beginning but as i continued to socialize with people, my nervousness and uncomfortability with others started to diminished and i was getting accustomed to it. I started speaking to strangers and made new friends and my contact-circle started to expand. After 2 years of my resolution i.e last year, I started preparing for the CAT exam as i thought the only way to transform me would be by joining a good b-school. I had this thought that by getting into a good B-school, it will mould me and push me to my limit and help me come out of my comfort zone due to its rigorous and peer to peer learning pedagogy. Fast forward to the present, with only a few days spent here in my new b-school, its already grooming me and polishing me. Though I’m still on the transition phase as I’m still learning and getting new experiences, I believe that by the time i pass out from this prestigious institute, a better version of me will be born. But I still got 2 years to go and until then, I’ll be learning one day at a time.
