Vijay Narayan

“What matters is not how much we fail, but how we respond to those failures.”
My name is Vijay Narayan. I am a freshman studying finance at the Kelley School of Business. I embody those words everyday in my life. One example of this was at my local DECA chapter at Munster High School. My freshman year, I didn’t qualify to be a finalist at the state competition. I was disappointed in this because of the effort that I put in, but was optimistic because of the amount of effort I knew I would put in. I remained committed to the organization and to myself. With determination dedication, and resilience I qualified for the International Competition in my sophomore, junior, and senior year. I will continue to exemplify these values moving forward in my life.
