At the core of the ABGLP program are people who drive to make an impact, irrespective of what challenges they face.
.Life without challenges is monotonous. You need some motivation to wake up from your bed every day, right? I want to describe one of my significant challenges that I have been facing since I started speaking to the world that is when I was 4-5 years old. I have a problem with speaking and I use to stammer a lot until my B.Tech. Mockery was a routine in my life since I got used to friends making fun of it and the embarrassment when I start addressing even a bunch of people from stage. Because of which, I was called an introvert and I hardly made any friends out of my class room.I had the constant urge to develop myself and work on my communication skills. The only solution is to speak more and more. But it needs to move out from my comfort zone and start interacting with people. Knowing the importance of communication and networking, I decided to put all my fears, inhibitions in the back seat and just face the situations with confidence. I use to read newspapers loudly, speak to myself in front of mirrors and many other ways to overcome stuttering. I knew that I have the confidence and content to speak but was waiting for an opportunity to break the ice. Started to participate in college MUN’s, gave presentations, organizing fests and lot more which gave me a chance to just speak to people. Initially I failed, couldn’t speak properly for more than 2 mins, faced embarrassments but that didn’t stop me from reaching my ambition. Gradually, I picked up and now I can speak without much problem.And now, I am about to pursue my dream of doing MBA and become a successful manager which requires good communication skills and the ability to attract people with your words. I feel immensely proud to reach where I’m today and still have a long way to go. There were many inspiring personalities who just made my problem look insignificant from theirs and proved that nothing can stop when you have the will to achieve. My long-term wish is to become a motivational speaker and help many others who need it.
