If I can do it, You can too!
To begin, I am no born genius. When I did my graduation from IIT Roorkee, I was not an extraordinary student there. And truth be told, I was a below-average on various parameters.
Back in June 2018, when I chose IIM Rohtak for my postgraduate (MBA), I promised myself, I would not let this happen to me, ever again, will not let anyone tell me that I am not capable of doing this. That I am not worthy enough. I vowed, no matter what it takes, I will not take only an MBA degree but will carry a Gold medal along with me.
Yes, It was not an easy journey, it demanded a lot of dedication and discipline. To save my time and to cut back on any kind of possible disturbance, I spent my nights in the library. I forced myself through a stricter and somewhat unhealthy routine so that I do not get distracted away from my vow. I told my entire batch that "I will win the gold medal" so that it would create a constant pressure on me to behave and perform. As I already told you, I was not an accomplished scholar in my undergraduate, and following this strict regime was new for me as well.
I followed this routine religiously for the entire duration of my MBA course and it did cost me a lot. I missed spending more time with my friends at IIM, missed many parties, missed going on many weekend trips, midnight chit-chat, but I knew this is the price I have to pay for dreaming something which was way out of my league.
And today (27 July 2020), It was confirmed that I am being awarded Gold Medal for All round performance.
Now, Why Am I Telling You This?
To tell you the truth — if I can do it, you can too! The only thing needed is that you have to have the utmost trust in yourself, believe in yourself, and be prepared to pay the price which dreams like this demand.
I am delighted to share that I've been awarded "Gold medal" for the best all-round performance in the MBA program 2018-20, from IIM Rohtak. This has been a long arduous journey for me. A journey of discipline, dedication, and complete devotion to this dream. I dreamt of this from the very first day, I entered into IIM Rohtak. All my efforts were aligned to achieve this dream.
Therefore it gives me immense pleasure to share this news with you all. In the end, I would like to thank my parents, teachers, and all my batchmates at IIM Rohtak, for their constant faith and support for me on this journey.
