My 1st blog.....
well, im must start out in a pessimistic manner,tht not everyone is capable of scoring 100/100 in THE most vital subject "Mathematics".Quite a tough task,i must say,though being a student of St.josephs college.
As a child i used to see my brothers and sisters struggling to make a mark,the 100 mark!!!!.
I used to do my part of work,but used to stay at the 3rd postion in my class.In india,as everyone knows,children are the race horses and parents being the riders.I had a pressure on myself whn my aunt used to hit hit nd hit me to come first in class,my parents were away.its not the age to take up pressure,i felt for myself.Indeed i lost my interests in studies,a drastic downfall from 94% to 64% in an academic year.
Phonecalls nd msgs flew across the continent to let know my downfall to my parents.I wasnt moved with all what was goin on.i was grounded,had a feelin of a german DEATH CAMP for a jew.Liberty was at stake,i had to deal with it.I had a conversation with my mother,and she said tht i could choose any life i wanted,after all its the life i would be living with.
Well now, a feeling to make a mark came into existance.I did not start studying,neither stop playin,but tried to grow in confidence and will power.I made a small chk survey and all i could hear about was this subject maths.It really was demanding,is demanding and will reamain demanding.i felt i should focus on this subject more than the others,not that i was bad at the subject,but needed to make a mark.
Olympiads used to cm and go,and participation certificates used to just come.I wondered how a winner of these olympiads would look like :).
well the year was ending and no change in my academic performance.thr came an oplympiad with only maths as th subject.well it was not bad to giv it a try nd so did i.
I did well i must say.100 questions,90 minutes.a serious test,one who scores 100 gets a gold medal.more than all of the above it was to liberate my liberty,prove myself worthiness and above all i still EXIST.
My academic results came out,and they had noo much to deliver.History repeated bac at home but sm wr i felt a hope arising that thr was smthing coming,and smthing huge.well it was the 100 mark!!!! and it came with a bang.I dint know how did it feel thn,but now i stand with the second time wining such a moment topping my college in the same very subject.
100 may be just seen as a 3 digit number,but here in our land it does make a difference,I know it and i m sharin it.it changed my life,it could changes urs too.....good luck
