How I overcame challenges to achieve a dream in life?
It was November'16 when I had my Chartered Accountancy Intermediate exams and Just 10 days before my exam my grandfather expired. I was very close to my grandfather and I was in deep sorrow, but I had to keep my calm since my family needed my support. Amidst all these, I also had to prepare for my exams. Some of the rituals were scheduled to be done on dates when I also had my exam and in a Hindu family, a grandson must be present in most of the rituals. My father seeing the trouble I was going through asked me to skip the exams and try to take the exam in the next attempt and that option seemed most practical at that point of time but since I had worked very hard for my exams, I was determined enough to take the exams. It became very difficult for me to manage the exams and my responsibilities at the same time. I went on to take my exams but when the results were out, I found that I had failed, and all my friends were able to clear it. This is when life taught me a lesson, it taught me that not everything is in one's own hand but the way we accept the situation is something that defines us as an individual. Despite, failing in that attempt I didn't lose hope and worked even harder for the next attempt and it was truly a moment of eternal bliss when the results came out and I was successful in clearing my exam.
