Rejections

In the grand tapestry of life, rejections are the threads that often weave the most beautiful stories. As I step into my second year of engineering, I reflect on a journey riddled with rejections, failures, and a relentless thirst for knowledge.

It all began when I eagerly sought internships to gain practical experience in my field. Two companies turned me away, and it felt like a heavy blow. I couldn't help but question my abilities and whether I belonged in the competitive world of engineering. The fear of not being "good enough" loomed large, but little did I know that these rejections were just the start.

I faced 5 rejections back to back in 10 days.

My pursuit of knowledge led me to hackathons, where the rejection saga continued. Some told me our ideas weren't worth it, and others hesitated to include me on their teams due to my perceived lack of experience.

IT HURTS....

I believe that to learn, you must participate. Every expert was once a beginner, and this thought became my guiding light. It's in the trenches of uncertainty that we unearth the diamonds of knowledge and experience.

I still remember the day clearly, my first rejection, I remember clearly how that night went with sobs hiding in the pillow.Maybe I was too scared-scared to show my weakness even to my friends.

I had always been the tough one-apathetic creature that's what people call, but I call it a silence-silence of failure, silence of guilt, silence of self doubt-silence that I got when I needed people to be by my side when I needed them.

It took me a whole week to gain the courage and write about it.

I know it's not the end-its just the start-there's gonna be a lot of rejection in the path that I choose- I have to be strong enough to prove that I am worth the destination.

Dear reader, I share this journey not to seek sympathy but to inspire. Rejections and failures are not roadblocks but signposts on the path to self-discovery. They challenge you to rise, to evolve, and to believe in yourself when others doubt you.

YOU JUST HAVE TO BE STRONG....

In the end, it's not the rejections that define us but our unwavering spirit and our commitment to the pursuit of knowledge and self-improvement. Keep learning, keep growing, and one day, you'll look back at these moments of rejection as the catalysts that ignited your greatest successes.

Until then don't stop....even I won't...I promised to my future self...

When you encounter any such bumps in life that shake you to the core...don't...just hold tight...

pause... take a break and restart....

and believe me you gonna be proud of yourself.... ONEDAY....
