Everybody’s life will be having someer ups and downs in their life. And even though, um, I’m 25 years right now, even I face lot of struggles in my life. There were a lot of ups and downs and drawbacks in my life after my schooling, like middle school, after completing my 7th st. I have to shift from, uh, Kerala to Banguru, uh, because of my father work. And till that time, I was a person who doesn’t know much about the outer world and the cultural difference which I was facacing totally different. And, um, the main struggle I faced in the terms of english, I was getting, uh, teasing from my friends. And not, um, only friends, others also. And they used to, uh, make. Make me talk in english because, uh, they want to laugh, they want to create fun with me. And, uh, at last I understood that if I do the same thing like this, I won’t be able to achieve something in my life. I have to change. I have to understand what I want in my life. So the first thing which I want to do is, uh, improve my English. I know right now also, it is very, um, is not so good. My English is not so good. But, uh, in order to improve, I feel that there are a lot of steps. So right now I am the middle of it. I need to improve a lot now also. But then I always feel that there is a chance for everything. And the people who are laughing at me right now, they always tells me that, okay, now your English has improved, not like before, and we are so happy for it. So I, uh, personally believe that if you consistently or persistently do something means you will be able to achieve what you want in your life. Likewise, the English was very tough for me and it was very hard for me at that moment. But when I tried to, uh, learn n new things in English, then I understood that English also can crack everything in my life. So that’s all about me. That is the most important achievement that I felt in my life.

Everyone's life has its ups and downs. Even though I'm 25 now, I've faced many challenges in my life. There were a lot of ups and downs and setbacks after I finished middle school. I had to move from Kerala to Bangalore because of my father's work. Up until that point, I was someone who didn't know much about the outside world and the cultural differences I was facing were completely new. One of the biggest struggles I faced was with English. I was teased by my friends, and not just them, but others too. They would make me speak English just to laugh at me and make fun of me. Eventually, I realized that if I continued like this, I wouldn't be able to achieve anything in life. I needed to change. I needed to understand what I wanted in my life. So, the first thing I wanted to do was improve my English. I know it's still not perfect, but I'm working on it. I feel there are many steps involved in improving, and I'm in the middle of that process. I still need to improve a lot, but I always believe that there's a chance for everything. The people who used to laugh at me now tell me that my English has improved and they're happy for me. I personally believe that if you consistently and persistently work towards something, you'll be able to achieve what you want in life. English was very difficult for me, and it was a tough time. But when I tried to learn new things in English, I realized that it could help me overcome any challenge in my life. That's my story. That's the most important achievement I feel I've made in my life.
