I think my hard decision was in the ninth grade when I had to pass an exam to get into the tenth grade. I didn't have the knowledge to pass the exam, and I had to study hard. It was very challenging, but we had time to prepare for the exam. I failed it, and I had to choose another school. I had to go to the private school on the left side. It was a very good option, but I had a second option. I could go for remote study, and I was a really private person. I chose the second one. I went for remote study, and for me, it was the greatest decision I have ever made. In the school, I couldn't focus on my studies because of the people. When I went for remote study, I started to focus, and my grades improved. I felt really ecstatic and thankful to my parents because they supported my decision.
