There is a moment in everybody’s life when you have to
take a bold step to fulfill your dreams. To take that bold step you might face
some problems, but you carry on with your decision because you know that you
have to take this step to achieve your goal in life. There was a moment in my
life in which I had to take a bold step to achieve my goal in life.
When I finished my school, my father wanted me to join our
family business of cosmetics manufacturing. I wanted to be an engineer so I
said no to my father and told him that I don’t want to join the family business.
My family members were also against my decision. I had to convince everyone in
my family for my engineering. I told them that I have a very good future after
doing engineering. At first, everyone
was against it and then finally I managed to convince them for my engineering. As
soon as I got the green signal for my engineering, I started filling up the
forms of various universities. I gave
the entrance tests got admission in Indraprastha University, Delhi.
I was called for counseling and was given Information
Technology (IT) as my branch. I had the option of staying at home but I opted
for the college hostel because I didn’t wanted and disturbance in my studies. I studied very hard throughout my engineering
because I knew it was my decision to do engineering and I had to show to my
father that I took a good decision for myself. I scored an aggregate of 75
percentile in my engineering.
Companies started coming for on-campus placements, I gave
the interviews of two companies and was not selected. I got tensed as I was
unable to get a placement. One day, I came to know that IBM is coming tomorrow
for campus drive. I started preparing for it as working with IBM would be a
dream come true. I gave the written test and was shortlisted for GD and then
interview. They were impressed by me and my skills and I was selected for IBM.
I told my parents about my selection in IBM and they were very happy.
After two year of my
job, I gave the Common Admission Test (CAT) and scored 99.4 percentile. I did
my Master of Business Administration (MBA) in marketing and currently I am
working with Coca Cola as a business consultant. I took the bold step and said
no to my father when he told me to join the family business to fulfill my
dreams. Today, I and my family think that I took a good decision at that time.
