Overcoming challenges in Life:

My father was in a transferable job and we used to move to a new city, every three to four years. Usually these cities were not very developed, and the quality of education was not good. So, when I passed my eight standard my mother took a tough decision of moving to Lucknow with me and my younger sister. There I was admitted into Delhi Public School. On first day of school I was very nervous as I was not well versed with the school environment in big cities. The academic curriculum here was also very different as my previous schools were affiliated with ICSE board while my new school was a CBSE board school. Just before I was starting from home, my mother gave me a hug and told me to believe in myself and never let any situation overpower my confidence. Strong headed as I always was, I decided not to be afraid of the challenges on my way and face them with determination. I made great friends on the first day itself and the journey ahead was what they say, “The best days of my life”.
