my seniors first,
searched on the
internet about ways
to manage my

Managing Change
It is hard to leave
your place and settle
somewhere else. I
understood my
problems and most of
them were just
because I was afraid
of leaving my friends
from childhood. Then
I realized the better
education at a better

Managing Change
In both situations, I worked well with analyzing my needs and acted accordingly. My
situation dealt with accepting the change that has affected my present and is likely to have an
impact on my future. As you age, you mature by your mind and attitude. Age enhances your

not to complain about the situation but to find a solution and accept my fault.
