In Porkalaivani's reflective speech, she shares her journey of confronting imposter syndrome and self-doubt. As an overachieving student who excelled academically and socially, she faced a crisis when repeated failures in her CA Inter Examination undermined her confidence and identity. Despite outward success, she struggled with feelings of inadequacy and a fear of being exposed as a fraud. Her self-doubt led to procrastination and over-preparation, particularly evident during a series of postponed presentations. Through this experience, she realized that her self-perception, rather than her abilities, was holding her back. Embracing this insight, she commits to reshaping her self-view and acknowledges the importance of recognizing one's true worth.
