Reading List by Rochelle Dsouza - Year 2022 May 1st 2022

Hello everyone! 

I apologize for my absence . I have been spending time mentoring students for their final selection to MBA colleges and now that all the calls are over and we await results, let’s get back to the journey we started. 

So, the purpose of this initiative is to get you to READ REGULARLY. My mission is not achieved by just getting you to read if you don’t read regularly. And like all good habits, reading needs to be cultivated. 

Reading is important and you should challenge yourself to read everyday. Through this reading list you can encourage and track your reading habit. 

Let me challenge you read 500 articles before you take the CAT this year. Are you ready to take up this challenge? Are you ready to better yourself? 

Let’s assume the CAT will be conducted on 27th November this year i.e there are a little more than 200 days left and  say your goal is to read about 500 articles. For this you will need to read about 2 to 3  articles everyday. Through this reading list, I will provide you a set of articles - say about 20 to 30 in a week.

Keep a track of the number of articles you read and celebrate your 

• first 25 articles

• First 50 articles 

• First 100 articles

• 200 articles 

• 250 articles 

• 300 articles 

• 400 articles 

• 500 articles. 

Reward yourself when you cross these milestones. 

You can share your feedback, comments, suggestionshttps://www.philanthropy.com/article/book-bans-threaten-students-nationwide-heres-how-philanthropy-can-fight-back. Reach out to me on rochelle@quoinacademy.com. Let’s set sail!
