I love the quote “ Make your life a masterpiece; imagine no limitations on what you can be, have or do”

During my school days, I was the school topper and all my beloved faculty cared for me a lot and that was my biggest motivation. When I was in high school, I got 3rd place at the school level with a very high score and secured district level marks in my native language exam, i.e., “Tamil”.

This delightful success in my career brought much more happiness to me and my family. Usually, it's quite natural for a person to feel happy and proud after seeing our photo in the newspaper. I cherished those moments and that happened in 2011.

After that, I was supposed to continue my higher school education in the same school and all my teachers had kept more belief in me that I would achieve state rank and bring fame to my institution. But all went upside down and that was the turning point in my career. I didn't score that much as expected by my teachers and I worried about it for months.

During my school days, I used to talk with my friends that after completing college have to settle myself in a renowned IT firm and have to look after my parents, likewise, I had more dreams. But as my results didn't meet the expected cut-off, I was supposed to join an Arts & Science College located near to my home.

At first, I don't even like to go to college as my short term goal is to study in an Engineering College. After some days, everything started to change and I adapted myself to the environment and I studied hard and I was the college topper of my department. I actively participate in all the events and activities and I started to build my career. Proudly I could say that I got placed in the top 5 IT firms.

Coming to my college life, though I got placed, my thirst for getting a degree from a renowned institution didn't fade away. I prepared myself with more courage and after clearing all my entrance exams I got into my next degree.

Yes! My dream came true and I got admitted to Kumaraguru College of Technology for pursuing my MCA degree, I would say that this is such a renowned Institution and I explored myself in a different way here. This is the platform which ignites Research idea in my mind and I diverted my path to the field of Research.

Now I’m here as a research scholar and intended to do my Doctoral degree, Ph.D. in Big Data Analytics and I have more interest to deal with data to figure out interesting trends and patterns. This stage made me do multiple tasks and it brings out a lot more hidden talents I have. Juz a few months ago, I came to know about medium and I started to write articles here..!

As of now, I’m happy and I’m the only girl who is doing Doctoral Research among all my batch mates from my school till my professional degree. I could say that this success was the medicine for all the wounds I faced till now. And I won’t stop myself from learning, I loved to keep myself as busy as possible.!

I should definitely tell this that my parents are the backbone who supported me, motivated me, encouraged me in all my hard times. They never let me feel about the struggles I experienced in my life. Such a loving mom and dad I have and my love for them will never vanish.

!!.Thank you all for patiently listening to my life story.!!

Before ending, I would like to share a few things with you people.,

1.First thing, whatever may be the hurdle that restricts your growth, just you throw it away or you move away from it..!

2. Have a plan, keep a strategy, focus on your work till it gets done.

3. Plan a timeline for every work you undergo, Maintain a To-Do-List, and have a look at it every day which will boost your energy.

4. Always have in your mind, people will come to you only if you are in the position to say I made it.

5. Never keep negative thinkers by your side, they will gradually ruin your time and growth.

Finally, the most important thing which we can’t get back is “!TIME!”, once gone, it’s gone. So wisely utilize the present to lead a delightful life in the future.

I strongly believe the Quote :

“Action speaks more than words” — So don't speak until you make others to speak about your success…!
