Overcoming Adversity: The Journey of Arunthathi Rajesh
Arunthathi Rajesh, daughter of Rajesh, a hardworking coolie worker, hails from a modest family in the Panachikkad gram panchayat of Kottayam district. Despite the financial hardships that plagued her family, Arunthathi nurtured big dreams. An average student in her academic pursuits, she faced the challenge of continuing her education beyond higher secondary due to limited financial resources.
However, a ray of hope appeared through a casual conversation with friends who introduced her to the DDU-GKY project implemented by Eduspark International Pvt. Ltd at Pantheerankavu. Determined to change her fate, Arunthathi decided to enroll in a five-month web development course offered by Eduspark International Pvt. Ltd., even though she had little prior knowledge in the field.
The initial days were a struggle. The world of coding and web development was alien to her, and she often found herself on the verge of quitting. Yet, she refused to give up. With the unwavering support and guidance of her trainer, Mr. Abhilal, an experienced web developer, Arunthathi began to grasp the intricacies of web development. Through perseverance and sheer determination, she completed the course with flying colors.
Armed with her new skills and a certificate in web development, Arunthathi set her sights on Dubai, a city brimming with opportunities. The journey was not easy; finding a job proved to be a daunting task. The lack of experience was a significant barrier, and rejections became a common occurrence. Yet, Arunthathi’s resolve remained unshaken. She continued her job hunt with unrelenting determination.
Finally, her efforts bore fruit. Arunthathi secured a position as a back-end developer at Web Smart IT Solutions in Dubai with a monthly salary of 70000/- INR. This job marked the beginning of a new chapter in her life, one that was built on hard work , resilience, and an unyielding spirit.
Arunthathi Rajesh’s story is a testament to the power of perseverance and determination. It underscores the belief that no matter how humble one’s beginnings, with hard work and the right guidance, one can achieve extraordinary success. Her journey from a small village in Kottayam to the bustling city of Dubai serves as an inspiration to countless others facing similar challenges.
“Never quit, work hard, and believe in yourself. Thanks a lot to Eduspark and the team”-Arunthathi.
