How I overcame challenges and obstacles in life to finally be part of IIM Bodh Gaya legacy:
Coming from a middle class family, I too have faced my fair share of challenges and impediments while moving towards my aspirations. But with time, realization came to me that these challenges were in fact carving a path for me to advance towards my goals.
Being a learning process throughout, challenges have helped me to be aware of my weaknesses and work upon them, and also sharpen my strengths. I believe the reason I was able to overcome the challenges life threw at me was mainly because of my trait of never letting myself down by failures and never giving up. Also, I believe my sense of empathy towards other’s and realizing other’s hardships by being able to put myself in their shoes, helping them and creating meaningful and everlasting relationships with people have also contributed towards me overcoming my challenges. I never had to be in a situation where I was face-to-face with a nerve-wrecking problem or challenge all alone. It was because of these precious relationships that there was always someone who held out his helping hand during my tough times. Also living in different environments and situations since our family moved around a lot, honed my ability to adapt, which also contributed hugely in facing my challenges, because to do that we must be able to come out of our comfort zones and adapt to any condition life has in store for us.
Life is a journey and challenges instead of being obstacles have been lessons instead, that have helped me grow and achieve my ambitions.
