Male Female

Well, in my life, I have accomplished many tasks that made me feel proud, but here I would like to talk about a special moment when I did one of the toughest tasks. It was quite common in my nation for colleges to arrange entrance exams for those they want to grant admissions to. After completing my primary education, I also wanted to take admission in college, but the problem was that the college fees were too high. My parents couldn't afford such high fees because I belong to a middle-class family. That's why I decided to take the entrance exam. I vividly remember that I studied hard for almost 3 months, and I was not able to sleep properly for those 3 months. On the day of the exam, my exam center was quite far from my home, and I got stuck in traffic. That's why I was 50 minutes late. Being late was a disaster for me, and the college was reluctant to let me take the exam. But after explaining everything, they let me take it. However, I was shocked because most of the questions were out of the syllabus, but I tried my best and took the exam. I was able to complete my graduation. At that time, my parents felt really proud of me when I got admission in that college through a scholarship. So this is one of the moments when I feel proud.
