How I overcame challenges in life to achieve my ambitions
The first significant challenge I faced was to leave my home and go to a residential school. This happened when I was just 11 years of age. I got into one of the most prestigious schools in Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya. I felt lonely and homesick after I joined the school. Slowly as time passed by I got used to the new environment. The school, in turn, played a crucial role in building my personality holistically by introducing me to the competitive world at a young age. During my school days, I have participated in a lot of sports events which inculcated a sense of competition in me and also helped me deal with success and failure with a positive spirit
The other challenge I faced was during the Infosys training when I was introduced to programming languages and IT technologies. The programming languages are quite new to me and learning them used to be a great challenge to me. Instead of budging under pressure, I concentrated on my learnings in my training period and worked hard. This effort has reaped me rewards and got awarded with a certificate of appreciation for immense contribution during the project.
In both situations, I found out that being adaptable is useful in dealing with tough situations. Usually, I like to follow the mantra which is inspiration from Darwin theory that "it is not the strongest or the wisest of the species that survives but the most adaptable". I would like to face any kind of challenges in my life by applying this mantra
