The most challenging task for me was to crack the entrance of CEE 2011 to get admission in state engineering college. It was not that the exam is very tough, it was the condition I was preparing for it. My father was recovering from a major neurological illness since 2008. And as his health was poor, he could not travel to bank to withdraw his pension. We have not taken ATM facility till then. Financially we were deprived. Running late in our bills. Due to Father’s sickness, I had to carry all the major work of home and I used to work in a DTP counter of a computer shop to support my family. It was a really tough time as I used to get tired out of the day schedule. I had no option of opting for private college for engineering as we could not even think of affording it. I had no interest in pursuing graduation as I know I will not be happy as it was never my interest. I used to study at night and compromised on sleep. Also I used to study in spare time in shop and kept myself collected all the time, not breaking down. My efforts bore fruits and I cracked the exam and got my desired branch of Mechanical engineering in one of the best and oldest college of Assam. So, lessons learnt were is perseverance and never to give up. Also, your real tests are when situations are not in your favor. They will bring out the best in you.
