When I was done with the 12th standard, I was very curious about my future goals. I decided to continue my studies in graduation, but there was some criteria to follow. I had to prepare for my college entrance exam. It was quite difficult. For that, I need to take a coaching and I have to move to another city. First, I thought I cannot do it at any cost because it needs a lot of money, time and focus. But my father really encouraged me. He asked me, I have to do it at any cost because it is very good for my future. It has more benefits rather than moving to another country. There, I can feel home sickness and it was also quite out of budget from my father. Then he encouraged me to complete that exam and pass. I followed my parents’ advice and went to the city and started preparation for the entrance exam. When I came to know about the result, it was really unimaginable. I passed my exam. I took the admission in a college. I could study in a well-known university which turned my future and the present excellent. It was the best advice ever. I could not do it if my father did not encourage me. So, I thank my father. He did it. He paid my all the fees.
