Rome wasnt built in a day, so how can a career be? Here is a look at how to make an informed decision when choosing a stream in school to steer towards the right career
Aditi (name changed) had developed anxiety disorder when her teachers stepped in to tell her parents, both IIT alumni, that she is a person of languages, not of science. Talking about her case, Upasana Kinra, Behavioural and Career Counsellor at DPS International Saket and a Consultant at British Council, says, “She was an excellent student, sensitive, sensible and a good scorer in all the subjects. Taking a cue from her parents, this Agra girl always thought she wanted to do science, but teachers who knew her personally knew better. She took science and was doing very well until she suffered an anxiety attack and fell ill. She was on psychiatric medication and couldn’t attend school for three months. It was then she realized she didn’t want to do science. But, she completed class 11th and passed with good marks. Eventually, we talked to the parents and took her for psychometric evaluation which suggested her to go for humanities and she repeated class 11 in humanities. I can never forget the day when in class 12th she emerged as the topper of CBSE board in Agra.”
