What are some of the biggest challenges you have faced?

[MenInG]

Life is a challenge and God knows how many of these we go through in a day but is there one that stands out in your life so far?

For me the biggest challenge was to adjust to life in university after a life of luxury at home!

Supporting myself through college in a strange land, working two jobs to pay rent and maintaining good grades at the same time, while playing league cricket on the weekends.

There have been plenty of challenges, but each new one seems bigger than the last.


Biggest challenge in the foreseeable future: balancing marriage, full-time work and Masters.

Marks were a pretty big issue for me in high school until twelfth. I was fairly smart compared to the others around me but I just never tried. Didn't have the motivation to.

Piece of cake. Try raising a kid, wife studying medicine and then doing masters. Easy compared to what I had to go through during the undergrad years.

I used to work 7-3 mon- fri, attend classes in the evenings, then go to my weekend job, Friday night 9pm to Saturday 9am. Then again from sat night 9pm to Sunday mornIng 9am.. used to have my kit in the car so right after work would drive to the field. Play a 40 over game. Come home around 6-7 pm. Shower, eat, study a bit and sleep,

Repeat the next week. Did this for nearly 6 years. Life was nothing but work, study, cricket. It was good though because it kept me away from a lot of the bad stuff.

Toughest phase of my life but I was fit as a fiddle though

Every single thing is the same for me except the good grades.
