Goals

I have been always been an ambitious person when it comes to planning my goals for the future. For I believe that working without a goal or direction can never lead one to achieve something that they believe they can. So for me planning has always been useful when it comes to achieve something. When I introspect, where do I see myself in a year, I see myself completing my Master’s programme and getting employed in a health policy think tank, where I can learn new skills and incorporate what I learnt during my Masters programme specialization, so that I can gather experience and skills for my further step in life. And I also see myself having developed the qualities of persistence and patience, being financially independent and overall development of my skills in my career and also improvement of my overall personality. And in next three years, I see myself as being more experienced and being enrolled for Phd in Public policy in the desired university I want, and being the same person who is now more enthusiastic to learn new and also is being able to make a major impact in the lives of people through my work, I also see myself being a better person from before. But no doubt we can always face uncertainties sometimes, we can think of the situation right now of the pandemic it has changed many plans which each other and I think even in the face of uncertainty, there’s always an opportunity to learn from it and keep updating and improvising our plans for the future.

Testimonial

During the covid-19 pandemic, initially when there were no virtual opportunities of internship for students, FHTS provided us with that opportunity. Overall, the internship was a good learning experience for me, I learnt about the public health systems of different countries and also came into terms with the COVID-19 situation in different countries and states. It also improved my communication as well as presentation skills. This internship will definitely help me in my future profession when I work as a public health professional.
