Mystory@Mahesh K. Hebbale: How I chose my course and career path – Challenges and learnings
My journey of life has been very challenging and interesting, at the same time. I have completed my class XI and XII in science stream, from a local government school in Kerala. The school lacked its basic amenities and the teaching staff was a total waste. Inspite of all these facts, I had no other choice but to settle with those challenging conditions as our family was suffering from severe financial crisis.
Somehow I managed to clear the PUC and then decided to work at a nearby Bike Servicing Center. I was paid with an amount of Rs.20 per day. Witnessing the family’s financial condition, I had no other choice but to quit studies and earn money. With the qualification of just the PUC, no organization would have even bothered to take a look of my CV.
How I cracked college admissions
But, then my father somehow arranged the amount that was required to seek admission for higher studies. I still remember the moment when he handed me an amount of Rs.3000 and asked me pursue with higher studies. In no time, I got myself enrolled in S.B. College of Arts and opted for B.A in English, History and Psychology.
What I gained from my college years
My college years were spent in isolation and hard work. When every other student was busy bunking classes and making girlfriends, I was indulged in my course books. This was because I could understand the worth of every single penny that was spent to seek admission. After completing Graduation, I enrolled myself for the Post Graduation course in Gulbarga University. Just before a month of my final results, I got placed in a reputed degree college as a Lecturer of English Language. Today, I am earning a handsome salary and leading a peaceful life.
