“I took 3 years off to be with my kids to be close to them, and that is something that I do not want to miss out especially in their early childhood. I want them to grow up knowing their mother. Those 3 years was also a good way to clear the mind off from all the work. Even my husband felt the same thing when he took a year off to do his MBA, it was a refreshing time, especially for those who have been working professionally for a long time. Did you know I was a sports person when I was younger? I know its hard to tell it from me now, but I was a really active sports person. I’ve been wanting to do sports again, now that my kids are older.The challenge is to be a good wife, mom and employee. And I’m glad that so far, I’m doing alright.”
