Part B
Some of the toughest moments of my life have taught me the best lessons. Nobody promised it would be easy. Overcoming challenges and giving it all we’ve got is all one can do. As a student, I have undertaken plenty of academic challenges in life, right from securing a berth in a prestigious college to cracking competitive examinations. The lessons all the struggle and hard work have taught me is to never give up, no matter how tough the going gets. Not succumbing to moments of weakness and fatigue, not crumbling under pressure, and to try till the very end – these are some of the lessons I have inculcated. During my preparations for the Common Admissions Test, I suffered a severe loss of confidence in my capabilities and found the pressure too much to handle. It was during this time that I fought back and reminded myself to not lose hope. It is extremely important to remain committed and driven, despite the obstacles. No hurdle is too big to get past. It is necessary that we seize every opportunity and remain bold in the face of every adversity. As a student, this is my greatest learning from the rigors of academia and exam pressure. My competitive examination experience was one of the most trying times of my life but now, I think of it as the biggest stepping stone to where I am and where I wish to go. So far, this has been my story of overcoming challenges.
