I had learnt my enter life in the blue classrooms surrounding the courtyard; I had grown up playing 'Langdi' near the dirty pond. I had the same friends since childhood, when used to run into the courtyard as soon as the recess bell rang. My teachers knew me; They praised my achievements and excused my shortcomings. In my mind, I was set!
So is that it? My instinct told me, "Noway! Something is missing. Life ain't about being "set"." The idea of making my OWN mark, and of paving my own road was alluring. As an Indian student, adventure ran in my veins; So I decided to move to a more credible institution after class 7.
"Change costs." My first term was X. Who wants to join an acne-clad mundane boy for lunch? At school, five people wished me on my thirteenth birthday. I regretted moving. However, the adrenaline never stopped. I read about how a socially awkward college drop-out changed the computer industry, about how a newspaper boy became the president. My parents and teachers remained my backbone. My "" evolved me.
Starting with a few answers in a class, I went on to launch the Math and Science club and eventually led the school's student body. The five people gre to fifty. I learned to face difficulties and overcome them. Ever since, I have thrived to make the most out of the opportunities I am presented, and even the ones I am not. As an engineering aspirant, I am on my way to beat the ten lac competitors and ace the competitive tests. Single digit state ranks are a start.
Today, my own achievements and failures, decisions and character matter much more to me than what I have been bestowed upon. I could never have dreamt of such an evolution in those blue classrooms.
I am still not "set"! Certainly college will pose as a fiercer challenge, but I will face it head-on and exceed expectations. Through my unrelenting passion and persistence, I will give the world a story to remember.
