Enthusiastically on the breakfast table I said to my dad," Dad I got my results today and I got 91%, toping not only in the school but also in the district. Now I can easily get into KC junior college in Mumbai!"
My father gave me a pat on the back and said,"Manan, but you are too young to go in a city like Mumbai. I know that you have many friends there and we also have many relatives there, but.."
Sadly I interrupted,"But Dad you had assured me that if I get at least 90% you would allow me to go to Mumbai, then why have you changed your mind. Dad, I can do so much over there, I will be able to live independently, and they also have many good classes for the entrance for IIT's entrance test. Going to Mumbai will be the best bet in my career."
Suddenly my Mom jumps in the discussion," Manan these two years are the last few years when you could stay with us. You can go to Mumbai or anywhere you want after 12th grade."
This went on for about couple of hours and finally I had to give in due to my Mom's emotional feelings.
Prior to this conversation of the day of my 10th grade result I had different plans: going to Mumbai for 11th & 12th then going to Indian Institute of Technology. I was sad because I thought I will not be able to follow my dreams anymore. It was very difficult for me to settle in a whole new environment. I used to look for holidays to escape to Mumbai.
After a couple of months I found that slowly my sadness was evaporating, I started getting engaged in extra-curriculum activities. I joined environmental club, I joined the teen club at local library, I also started volunteering at nearby temple and my grades also started going up. Finally I realized that going to a metropolitan city is not necessary to achieve one's dreams. By the end of the year when I was settled in this new environment I had to replan my life- I was destined to move to US by the end of the summer.
