A challenge in my life that I overcame

Since childhood I wasn't good at studies. Being the elder sibling I was always assumed to set an example. We lived in a joint family where most of my cousins were of my age. So I had to constantly go through comparison with my cousins. No matter how hard I tried I just wasn't able to cope up with all of them. I had developed an inferiority complex within myself that may be I wasn't good enough. My performance began to deteriorate in all walks of life.

The life transforming moment of my life was talking to a teacher. A teacher cut through my inferiority complex and saw the inner potential in me. She made me realise of everything I can do and become.

In 11th classes I opted for commerce and had a new start with new subjects. I had learnt to put myself in uncomfortable positions to overcome my inferiority complex. And soon enough I was excelling at my academics. It was just due to realising self worth and persistent effort towards achieving my goals that I could finally feel confident towards achieving everything I want. The very people who gave me an inferiority complex, talked of me as an example.
