"When I was young, specifically when I was only 16 year old and in class 10, I was preparing for my SEE examinations. At that time, I had a crush on a boy named Sahil. I spent all my time with my friends. We had so much fun. Most of the time we used to ditch our classes just to hang out in the playground and in library room. We would go to a cafe together, eating and gossiping. Even thought I was having fun I still care about my studies. I had always been a good student who scored high marks and "that's how I became overconfident" I felt like the exam where nothing that I could balance the competition, my friends and my crush all at once.
But when I enter the exam hall, I give my 100% on most of the paper. But math had always been my weakness, and because I was so caught up in the mood of love at first site and having fun, I didn't focus. I chose my friends and my crush over my preparation.
Later, when I saw my report card, I went completely silent. I had failed math. As a good student. I didn't know how to handle that kind of failure. It was heart-breaking. I felt so low that I even thought about "ending my life" I didn't know how to face my parents, teacher and my friends. At that time I thought I am all alone. But thankfully, my old school Friend stay by my side. He convinced me that one setback wasn't the end. He told me, 'please don't give up on your self just because of one exam. 'That motivation changed everything. I decided to choose a new path."
