Identify at least 3 problems, frustrations, or unmet needs that you have encountered in your personal life, through a work experience or in school. For each problem you identify, answer the following questions. Describe the problem, frustration, or unmet need. Why is the solution to this problem important to you? Do other people have this problem? How are they currently solving the problem? How might you offer a better solution?
Following ae the 3 problems, frustrations, or unmet needs that I have encountered in my personal life:
1. Financial problem: it played a major role in frustration in my personal life when I had no sufficient money to study abroad or in any good city in my home country. This situation becomes more drastic when I had to sit off spending money on essential commodities as well.
2. Educational issues: This problem was the next level of frustration when I was trying to pass the national level examination in my field and it didn't clear in two consecutive attempts. That situation was frustrating because I have invested my all-time, efforts, and money in getting knowledge and training but all went in vain.
3. Parent's expectations: Another situation that was frustrating was the conflict of interest between what parents want and what I wanted to do. this situation led to a cold war every time I get back home.
The solution was important for me because:
1. bad financial condition acted as a barrier to my growth in life.
2. educational issues and uncleared attempts left me depressed for a longer time and because of that, I distanced myself from everyone. a solution to that frustration was very important at that time.
3. solution to the conflict was important because otherwise parents would have lost faith in my and my struggles and never supported me.
Yes, one of the good friends is facing the problem of conflict with the parents as far as a career option is concerned. They are currently struggling with the problem as all the solutions are not effective at all. Whether they try to talk to the parents, parents are not listening to him and keep on forcing what they actually want for their chile rather than understanding what their chile actually wants.
I would offer a better solution by suggesting him to talk straight with the parents. An open conversation is the solution to all problems.
