What is invisible but essential about YOU? or ESADE? or Barcelona?
I remember sitting down after my father’s funeral in March 2019, wondering what would become of me without him and how I’d navigate the rest of my life. I can almost remember the moment clearly. Fast forward to exactly 5 years later in March 2024, graduated from uni, passed law school and staring at my admission letter from Esade, dare I say it was a full circle moment. It took me a while to learn that grief does not erase possibility, and growth can bloom in unexpected soil.
Beyond KPI’s and degrees, there is so much that is invisible but essential about me, Resilience. Not in the flamboyant way that people make it to be, but in the quiet promise I made to myself to keep on going till I get what I want out of life.
In 2010, when I was 12 and in high school, I was kidnapped for a week. I found myself in the back of a car I didn’t recognise, with people I never knew. I knew I couldn’t control what was happening, but I could control my reaction to the situation and my will to survive. I escaped eventually. To me, it was about taking just the next step, even though my legs were shaking, even when the path ahead seemed very unclear. I walked away from the experience not just relieved but changed.
And fast forward to 2025, one year down in my second year of the MBA at Esade, living in Barcelona, the longest stretch I have ever been away from home. Every class, project, and interaction has pushed me further than I thought possible, made me question why I made such a big leap, but I am starting to see the bigger picture, as opaque as it may seem right now.
Resilience has been the invisible thread that has carried me all through, and I am hoping it will carry me forward, whatever comes next. I have absolutely no regrets.
