How did you grow or are you growing during each stage of your student life?

General

Every stage teaches us something.

Period of Undergraduation: discovering who we are, exploring interests, failing and learning
Period of Postgraduation: specializing, buidling networks, and refining goals/aspirations
Transition to work life: applying the acquired knowledge, adapting, unlearning a few things and starting over in a new manner

Growth never happens just like that and it always carries a true intention alongwith.

  1. What helped you grow or is helping you grow in each phase?
  2. What kind of growth are you seeking now and what are you doing to move towards it?

Let’s share our stories, as the insights may help someone else who is navigating his/her own journey.

For me, under graduation taught resilience I learned to embrace failures as stepping stones. I’m excited to see what post graduation holds for me. Right now, I’m focusing on personal and professional growth by improving my communication skills, networking, exploring new knowledge areas, and stepping out of my comfort zone.

Every phase of life is confusing but the biggest clarity you could receive comes from people. Confusions are diminished by the company you keep. Supportive friends and family members are the ones that help me move forward in every phase. Right now I seek intellectual and emotional growth, both of which I work on through the like-minded people around me.

@caryn Loved the approach. A mixture of emotional and intellectual growth is crucial.

During my UG period i went through a lot like homesick, lack of self confidence, depend on someone. But after a certain phase I developed a self confidence which made me brave in all decisions i make. And after that i am independent now and making my decisions without discussing with others.

@Priyadharshini That’s beautiful to hear. Taking decisions by the self is very important as that doesn’t look influenced and at the end, we hold ourselves responsible for it without any regret and that helps in the development of self-resilience, an important attribute to have in life.
