1 | P a g e
Learning experience is any kind of interaction or a course or any kind of learning, people had
in their entire lives due to any activity occurred in their school life, personal life and
professional life (Edelman et al., 2010). I was very inspired by my learning experiences
which I had experienced in my school life. As a student I was given an assignment in my
school to write about myself and my family in detail. This leads me to know about my
learning abilities and this had also leads me to increase interaction from my family as well.
During that interaction my parents told me so much about my strengths and weakness. This
includes many aspects like career advices, how can I develop an ability to manage my time
and how can I become a good learner. During the passage of time these weakness had
become one of my biggest strengths, this made a very good counsellor in giving career
advices to new students who are very confused about their career choices.
My journey about my life had just started by making a choice of subject in the school life.
That was the first time I had faced a difficulty about a career. There are so many people
belong to so many fields giving many kinds of opinions about the career. This made me
confused about the career choices. After getting so many advices from the different people I
had come to know about the right choice which had not proven a good career choice for me. I
was very good in studies so my family, friends, and teachers also suggested me to take
science as a subject. I was not interested in that field at all. So, I researched about the place
where I can get all the answers to my questions about the career choice, but at that time there
is no such institution which can guide me about this (Topîrceanu and Grosseck, 2017). So,
other people think that science is the best choice for me at that time. I opted for science as a
subject.
This choice only helped me in making myself more habitual of study. This happened because
I had struggled a lot in understanding the subject. At first I was not even getting any idea of
how I am going to study. I used to love learning new things in life. This problem made me
research about how I should study. In order to do that at first I had taken help of my parents,
my father had told me that the process of learning is not limited to school or teachers. He is
the one who had introduced me to the self-learning as a concept. Self- learning means that the
person can teach himself in their own without taking any guidance from any other teacher.
This had leaded me to deeply understand the meaning of science as a subject matter (Foley
and O' Connor, 2013).
I was good in studies so I qualified with a good grade from the high school. Then, the next
problem was in front of me which am that I want to know about a good career choice after
the High school. As per my parent’s lessons, I had researched about the career choices in
order to find the best one for me. I came to know about so much during that time. This had
leaded me to find and explore about many career choices. During the process I get the brief
idea about the major career choices available at that time, the most opted choice and most
demanded career choices in the market (Simmons, Wiklund and Levie, 2014). All this time,
parents had supported me a lot. So, after all the research I decided to do Bachelors in science
field because I was very much aware and known to that field. During my graduation time, I
had observed that career choice is a major problem for all the students. I had analysed this
during the time of my batchers. So, I decided to solve this problem. After my bachelors I
