What is invisible but essential about YOU? or ESADE? or Barcelona?
The one thing that is invisible but essential in me is my family.
I am the fruit of my parents’ values, and the bloom of their selfless love. Ever since I was young, my parents were the type who stood from a step away, close enough to protect and guide me, but far enough to let me grow on my own. Their values of respect and freedom taught me a strong moral compass and perspective on what life has to offer. I guess that’s what makes the person I am now.
It goes back to when I was 6 years old, when we moved to Bangkok, Thailand. I still remember so vividly, it feels like it was the fairytale chapter of my life, and every memory is nothing but joy and laughter. Adjusting to a new environment, not knowing the language, was not the easiest for a 6-year-old. I didn’t even know ‘hello’ in English, let alone in Thai! But despite the challenges, my parents were there at every corner to support me, never controlling or demanding, even with academics. They gave me the freedom to explore, learn, and grow on my own terms.
The world seemed to be my playground where I was free to follow my heart. I played all sorts of sports – from tennis and basketball to ballet. I was also very much into art, passionate enough to take summer courses at universities, spend hours crafting my own pieces, and sell them at fun fairs. My parents always encouraged me and supported me in any way they could. This particular time in my childhood when I had no limits to take on challenges and explore the variables within my world, is what allows me to take chances and fear no challenges today.
So, I decided to face the biggest challenge I could face. Choosing Esade, moving halfway across the globe. Wasn’t it one for all of us? Leaving certain things behind – either professional or personal – we all took the chances and bet all-in for this journey. At least I did. But I wasn’t afraid, because I knew my family would be with me, by my side through thick and thin, even beyond the ‘happily ever after’. When I decided to pursue an MBA, my brother was the greatest mentor that I had. He did his MBA years ago, (because he is old) and was far into his career (again, he is old) with the experience and learnings he brought back from it. So he was the mentor, the supporter, the critic, the rationale, the logic that led me toward making a decision for myself.
As this journey embarks to an end and turns the chapter of challenge to the next, I can proudly say I’ve grown stronger with the waves I faced, and storms that I overcame throughout. It was possible because with every wave and every storm, my family was just one phone call away and always close to my heart. I couldn’t have done what I have and wouldn’t be the person I am if it weren’t for my family and their support.
I dedicate this to my family, with all my love and gratitude.
