Today, the challenge I would like to talk about is university entrance exam. The university entrance exam is really competitive in our country as so many students participate to this exam. So I thought the, uh, challenge was difficult because I needed to get good marks to get into a good university. My days were full of studying and I met a study plan and stick to it. I stud all the day and uh, I found physics and math especially tough. That’s why I admitted to a coaching institution to get some, um, strategies and techniques from them. I also took frequent practice test which made my preparation more stronger. I also took more extra classes on these subjects to improve my level. After a few days, I prepared myself very well though I thought that if I could make it possible or not. But I was hopeful that I can make a good effort in my examination. And uh, finally the exams came and knocking at the door, I got my result and I admitted into my dream university with flying colors. I got received lot of compliments from my friends and family member. So looking back, I always feel a sense of achievement about my hard work, dedication and confidence. So.
