Life:
• My parents passed away by the time I was 10yrs old and I grew up with severe financial and social difficulties. I have worked since school. I bear the cost of my younger siblings’ hence I could not plan to pursue MBA earlier. I have always hustled and tried to do most of the opportunities I could get. I have now reached a comfortable phase in life which may have seemed impossible given the life journey I have had.
I have 316 GRE score (162 Q), I plan to retake it.
