Continuous learning is extremely important in today's world, and especially after taking a career break. The technological world is advancing rapidly. Read further to learn about Akanksha Mishra's journey with Great Learning's PGP Data Science and Business Analytics Course<\/a> in her own words. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My name is Akanksha Mishra. I am an MBA healthcare graduate with B-Pharm as my bachelor's degree. I have experience working in administration for a renowned hospital in Hyderabad. I loved and enjoyed my work as it was something I was very good at, then due to my personal commitments I had to quit the job and start another inning of my life as a homemaker. I continued my association with an NGO and devoted my time to some social cause. I believe in continuous learning, keeping myself busy, and giving my best in everything that I do. This attitude helped me set my priorities clear.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Living in a Nuclear family and raising a child was a huge challenge for me. I wanted to spend my time with my child seeing him grow. I indulged myself in other activities and hobbies that I was quite active in my younger days. With my child growing up, I got to relive my childhood. Although I was very happy, I still was missing something in life. As my child grew older, I wanted to work more on myself and devote my time to excelling in my career again. I wanted to do something for self-growth and this pandemic played a very important role in making me realize that. I took it as an opportunity to start over. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I began looking for the right opportunities available. I realized it was high time to upgrade myself since being away from the industry for a span of ten years gave a long gap which I needed to recover. Data science being the top skill in demand by the industry made me believe that I can overcome the biggest challenge of the huge professional gap. I don\u2019t come from a computer science background, not even engineering. Now the biggest hurdle was to decide the start. I needed appropriate guidance so I started looking for programs available and came across the Great learning PGP-DSBA program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My journey in Data Science started with Great Learning. The initial two months were very tough for me, I was not satisfied with my performance in the weekly test which depressed me, and I would frequently call my Program Manager-Prabhjot and share my thoughts with her. She encouraged me a lot and was very supportive throughout my journey. Gradually I picked up the pace and started understanding. I would read twice, thrice, and watch the videos multiple times to get clarifications. The most important of all was the Mentoring sessions, those 2-3 hours proved to be a game-changer for me to understand the concepts. <\/em><\/strong>The complete journey was a roller-coaster ride for me, but the most challenging thing was to cope up with the class speed and completing the target on time. Especially the pressure of submission every weekend. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am very happy that I took the challenge and completed this journey successfully. I have learned a lot in this course and the learning continues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
