I would like to talk about a difficult task that I did as a part of my studies. The thing I’m referring to is my practical lab examinations. It was actually very difficult for me to do my final examinations. And I still remember each and, uh, every questions and even each and de everyee problems that I had to face during my examinations. And uh, I had a good knowledge about my practical examinations because I never missed any of my practical classes. And if at all I get a free period, I would rush to the lab and I would just do the practical experience because I knew that the. To do a practical experiment, we needed practice. So I would actually. And I really enjoyed and doing all this and but towards the end when time. When it came the time to do my examination, uh, it was actually I was not really feeling well. And I was admitted in the hospital for one week since because of healthavy body pain and fever. So just the day before it was just the day before my examination, I got, um, back from the hospital to my home. And I still remember that I would learn in the hospital while I am in my room and while the trip was going on and while the glucose is injected into my body or while the injections or medications are being given to me. I would read or study my subjects. And all the doctors would ask me, uh, do you have an exam or something? So I still remember, um, all my doctors who helped me at that time because they won’t usually disturb me while I study. So it was actually very difficult for me. And as you al know, it would be very difficult to study in, uh, in such an environment. So. But I really tried and I studied hard and and not only because of my hard work, because I also studied a bit earlier. So with that knowledge, I was able to write my examinations very well. And I scored, uh, 36 out of 40, which was actually a really good mark in the case of practical examinations. So it is one of the difficult, uh, tasks that I faced or uh, did as a part of my studies.

I would like to talk about a difficult task I faced during my studies: my practical lab examinations. It was incredibly challenging, and I still remember every question and problem I encountered. I had a strong foundation in practical knowledge because I never missed a class. Whenever I had a free period, I'd rush to the lab and practice, knowing that hands-on experience was crucial. I truly enjoyed these sessions. However, as the exam approached, I fell ill. I was hospitalized for a week due to severe body pain and fever. I was discharged just the day before my exam. I vividly recall studying in my hospital room, even while undergoing treatment. I would read and study while the IV drip was running, and even while receiving injections. The doctors would ask me if I had an exam coming up. I'm grateful to them for being understanding and not interrupting my studies. It was incredibly difficult to study in such an environment, but I persevered. I studied hard, and because I had started preparing early, I was able to perform well on the exam. I scored 36 out of 40, which was an excellent mark for a practical exam. This experience stands out as one of the most challenging tasks I faced during my studies.
