I want to use this anecdote of my hazing experience in an essay asking for an experience that influenced my career goals.
"After the slap no. 35 missed my cheek and landed on my nose , I felt the trickle of blood down my nose . No one had ever done that to me before. I couldn't mentally handle that and broke down in tears. I was ready to give up. But counsel of my friends made me realize "What doesn't kill me makes me stronger ". I resolved that night to never let anything traumatic, get the better of me."
From the hazing experience I spent time to read more about tech industry in library as weren't allowed to browse internet , watch movies and TV etc to Besides the epiphany I had during the anecdote, helped me to motivate fellow pledges to not feel victimized like how I had felt. I was able to rally them and we finished our 4 month ritual w/o any one dropping out. I understood that being a leader goes beyond just leading a team.
The point of using the anecdote was not show that ""what doesn't kill me makes me stronger". I was just using it as a intro. This point is only explained in the first para.
I wanted to use this background to show the intensity of the hazing that I had to face daily for 4 months straight. I wanted to show the impact it had on creating a direction of my career.
Impact:
1.The ban of internet and other recreation made me read tech news on library internet as only source of recreation . That let me find passion for tech industry as I read more and more .
2. I tried to protect the brotherhood among the pledges and motivated the pledges and allayed their emotional concerns. I want this to show that I have what it takes to be a good manager who can understand his team and motivate them to reach the end goal.
I hope I was able to make you understand the message I want to convey.
Do you think this is an apt way to convey how I got the interest to pursue this career plan ? Thanks in advance.
