I am here to tell you there are no dead ends and we all get a second chance to turn their life around. Whether you prosper in that chance or fail that is all up to you. I have a small life-turning story to share.<br \/>\nAfter completing my 12th Science, I had a huge decision to face &#8211; whether to go for engineering due to parental pressure or defy all odds and do BMS. After long heated arguments and my own will, I took admission in BMS. After a fun-filled three years, I completed my BMS in 2013 with my best friend. I always got an &#8216;O&#8217; grade while she was happy with &#8216;A&#8217; or &#8216;B; grade. After talking to a few people and doing some research, the idea of being an investment banker intrigued me, and I started dreaming of <a href=\"https:\/\/imarticus.org\/certified-investment-banking-operations-program\/\"><strong>becoming an investment banker<\/strong><\/a>. Then my friend called me after the final result got declared and said:&#8221; I&#8217;m going to take admission in Imarticus for an Investment Banking course and I will get a job in big investment banks&#8221;. I was simply amazed by this.<br \/>\nI spoke to my parents about the course and they disagreed. I had to take admission in MMS. Later, after a few months she called me and said she got a job as an Analyst at Morgan Stanley through Imarticus Learning. I just stood there shocked! My response was \u201cHey, it&#8217;s my first day of college. \u201c<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Later, after a few months my friend called me and said she got a job as an Analyst at Morgan Stanley through Imarticus Learning. I just stood there shocked! My response was \u201cHey, it&#8217;s my first day of college.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Well after two years, I am an MBA with few months of work experience and the burning desire to be an investment banker, whilst my friend is working with Morgan Stanley and doing her part time MBA. I tried giving interviews but I got rejected. I realized I was lacking knowledge about Finance and Banking.<br \/>\nI convinced my parents to let me study Investment Banking at <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/imarticus.org\/\">Imarticus Learning<\/a><\/strong>. They reluctantly agreed and I\u2019m so glad I did this course.<br \/>\nI believe it&#8217;s never too late to achieve your dream. I am glad that I have an MBA degree, which makes me more strong and positive from the rest of the crowd. This small incident gave me a lifetime experience. I learned the 3 C&#8217;s of life: Choices, Chances, and Changes. You must take a chance and choose or your life will never change.<br \/>\n<strong>-Priyanka Pawar<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>Student,<\/em>\u00a0<em>Imarticus Learning<\/em><br \/>\nFor more details on our courses please visit our website imarticus.org.
