Some people fail to overcome this, while other learn from these challenges and use those lessons to achieve success. Setbacks teaches us patience, builds our confidence and prepare us to face future difficulties. In the end, our mistake helps us to achieve true success.
I passed to class 10 with great distinction and securing the third position in the class 9 annual examination despite having a roll number 33. Which was a remarkable achievement and a proud moment for me. Everyone praised me for my achievement, and my teachers expectations increased significantly for me. Which made me over confident. At that time I thought that I could do everything. I did not study my lessons with proper understanding, instead I only depended on memorization. I also did not read the questions carefully during exams. When I find any type of similar line on question, I wrote the memorized answer. For this reason, my SSC result was not good . I made many mistake in the board exam, especially in math and other group subjects. Everyone was disappointed in me, I was also disappoint with my result , for a while I felt frustrated. I realized that my careless attitude and lack of preparation were the main reasons behind my failure.
However, this failure became a turning point in my life. It made me realize that success comes through hard work and regular practice. I realize that just memorization is not enough. Knowledge gained through understand and learning is what stays with us for a lifetime. So, I changed my study method. I started studying with proper understanding and began practicing regularly. But, fate had a cruel twist in store for me. After a few months, the covid-19 pandemic began to spread rapidly. Although online classes were held, but life was still filled with fear due to the widespread pandemic and increasing deaths around us. At that time I had completely lost focus on my studies. After a few months, the situation gradually started to improve, and I decided that I could no longer waste time. I become serious again about my studies and started preparation with full concentration. But then there was a very little time left for the HSC exam. Still I did not lose hope, I started studying according to a proper routine and tried to cover the syllabus as quickly as possible. I tried to study with understanding instead of memorization. Finally I sat for the exam and give my best effort. When the result published , I was satisfied to see that I had achieved GPA 4.25 in my exam.
This journey teaches me that setback are a natural part of life. It taught me the importance of hard work, consistency and proper understanding. Finally, I learned that success comes with effort and hard work.
