Hello, guys today I want to share a small story of my life.
I belong to a middle-class family. I have one sister and a brother. I am the elder one. My parents are so supportive. They always try to encourage us for everything. So being from a middle-class family you are supposed to have responsibilities when you were small, responsibilities for many things like for siblings studies, for their mistakes and misbehavior (as per our parents everything they do are taught by the elders), for your and other siblings result.
So from the beginning, I love maths, I was nill in other subjects except for math. My only hope for passing any exam was maths only. Maths teacher was the only person who likes me, others are always so rude to me because of the discrimination by me toward their subjects :-). But I passed the 10th exam by 85% which was like 99.9% for me. My entire family, relatives, and even me also get shocked by my result. They start to think that I am good at studies :-|. And in middle-class families good at studies mean science. So, my family, mostly relatives advised me to take science +maths. At that time I also get the courage to take non_medical I don't know-how.
I was sent somewhere for studies so that I can study at good coaching. But I didn't get selected for my first attempt and the second attempt in the first year. I get depressed not for the selection but for the money of my parents, I have wasted. They sent me to Dehli for coaching, they were doing so much for me, I know about my family's financial situation and at that time I can't even say them that I am not interested in doing engineering. So I decided to do something for the entrance exam as it was my last chance and also don't want my parent's money to be wasted, I worked so hard for 2-3 months but the saddest thing was I only qualified for the jee mains as that was not enough to get admission in a good NIT. those days were so disturbing for me, but I was applicable for jee advance which was the last chance for me. So I worked so so hard I got good marks in it and I get my dream IIT. My family members are so proud and happy for me.
I think for a child seeing their parent proud of them is a big moment.
