I was told that it is not easy for an immigrant non-scholar student to get into good public school and score straight As - I did it and walked up the stage to receive my graduation scroll.
Barclays sales assistant - no experience - no way. Not only did I score well in the interview, I excelled at my job. I know I did because my team still thinks of me. I earned the biggest credit, support of the people around me.
Tepper school of business - limited 2 yrs of experience - no way. I made it to one the worlds top MBA school. I know student at Tepper does not appreciate it but it is still the best place. I am glad I made it.
Next, my dream company Bain. I didn't know what Bain was till I met Mr. H. His passion for the job and his openness endeared me to this firm and I had decided that I will work for this firm. Then I discovered it is world's best consulting firm and also one of the most choosy. I might not be the right demographic for them but I am not giving up till I hear a no from them. If they would hire 1, I should be the one. I am going to test my luck to max.
All I know is that I have managed to come so far and I am not giving up. At age of 15 I had not dreamed that I would come so far yet I always wanted to give meaning to my life. As I discover my passion I want to keep going - as far as my dreams will take me. I am not taking no for an answer.
