PART B
Achieving something in life makes one feel proud. After my 12th board examination, I prepared to get into IIT or NIT. I studied very hard and was very confident to crack the exam. However, I fell ill and got seriously demotivated and tensed about my selection. I couldn’t crack the examination. It was one of the most heartbreaking moments of my life. I was so frustrated with myself and God that I lost all hope and just wanted to join some private engineering college and get done with my degree. My parents were worried about me. I realized that I started blaming God for all the things that were not according to my plan. I realized that I was giving up easily. I promised myself to fight this situation out and not take the easy escape route. I dropped a year; I started my preparation again with greater zeal and ambition. This time too, I failed to get into IIT, but I managed to get into NIT. I handled this failure pretty well. For one, I got into NIT and second, because I started accepting the fact that things will not always go according to my plan. It was a big lesson in my life, and I am proud of myself taking that decision and not running away from it.
