My Father Had a Stroke - Studying – Working and Achieving Your Goals
by Shwetha
My name is Shwetha and this is my personal story.
During my first year of studying for my MBA my father got paralysis through a stroke and was not able to work anymore. It’s from here that our family started facing financial problems which also affected my studies.
That was the time when I started thinking about taking on a part time job. Eventually I decided to teach in evenings, took on some students and worked hard to provide a good service and improve their education.
Also during the weekends I started helping with projects for BBM students. This really helped me in my studies and I also earned a good amount of money.
For my MBA project I was awarded best project which motivated me to help my friends and juniors further. For every job I did, I stated charging a small amount of money which really helped alleviate some of our family’s financial problems.
With my efficiency and hard work in teaching, students started to get good marks and I started getting new students. My home tuition and handling BBM projects both worked fairly well. At the same time even my father started to recover from his stroke and started to work a little. Slowly our family began to recover from previous financial problems.
I struggled very hard to balance my work and studies and used to study late nights and early mornings. My only intention was to finish my MBA successfully. By Gods grace and through immense support from my parents I was able to reach my goal. I stood second in my college by getting 91%.
I am now married with a two year old baby and settled in my life; my father is fully recovered from his stroke and has started working again.
I now do some freelancing work, whilst learning online web designing in my free time. I just shared my knowledge to overcome my problems with no investment. With going through this experience
I can say, believe in yourself and do your work sincerely. It’s all about your attitude and how you are going to accept life. Always have a positive attitude and be optimistic in life.
