Happy Sharma
Mahindra Pride School (MPS), Chandigarh, is currently employed at Landmark Group, Dubai.
I was a child of 2 years when I lost my father in an accident. I was supported and brought up by my mother and maternal uncle. Having lived a dependent life, I wanted to stand on my own feet after completing class 12. This goal was fuelled when my friend told me about Mahindra Pride Schools’ 90-day course to improve my job prospects. I joined the Hospitality Craft course and gained in-depth knowledge in Hospitality. The soft skills and computer literacy ensured that I sailed through the interviews and landed a job at Pizza Hut that paid me Rs. 11,000 per month.
I kept in touch with MPS even after I started working at Pizza Hut, this helped me gain an interview for a job abroad. I interviewed with the Landmark Group, over a Skype call and with my forthcoming attitude and strong aptitude, I was selected with a monthly salary of 2200 Dirhams (INR 40,000). My happiness truly knew no bounds and even today I feel indebted to Mahindra Pride School (MPS) for giving me the exposure, experience and opportunities. Today, I support my family. I realised early in my life that opportunity knocks the door of a dreamer who works hard and this belief has helped me defy fate and rise beyond the ordinary. Mahindra Pride School empowered me to look beyond my restraints and towards a world full of possibilities. It helped me gain not only the required skills, but the confidence I needed to stand on my feet and rise”. The journey to living a life of one’s dreams is not an easy one. But with our initiatives at KCMET, we strive every day to make it worth all the hard work and zeal. We believe in helping and guiding one another in our journeys. After all, alone we can get up, but together we can Rise.
