I am in the same boat

I learnt that a fellow student left her job in a reputed organisation, painstakingly withdrew 2 lakh rupees which she had saved after workin for two years. She requested her dad to shell out another 2 lakh rupees for an MBA course to shape her career. She obtained 4 lakh rupees more from a bank and came to Bangalore to pursue her MBA dream. With every passing month, hostel room rents and food coupon rates kept going up. She always believed that she would get placed before dissertation (last term). But having sat for only 3 interviews, in which twice she got rejected in the group discussion round (in case of the third interview, she got rejected in the self introduction round itself), her self confidence is down in the dumps. Sudddenly, the loan burden on her shoulders felt heavier, her future became blurred and the past resurfaced haunting.
I am just a non-profit, passive onlooker in the same boat. I ll tell you what - you would atleast have a story to tell your children and grandchildren about your determination and sacrifices.
Good luck. (Sherlock Holmes at Alliance)
