My grandparents, parents and sibling have been an inspiration for me my entire life. They have always inspired me to dream big and I have always felt an urge to make them proud and be a step closer to achieving all my dreams. Getting to be a part of a great institution felt like a stepping stone to this as I wanted to be closer to the bright minds of the country and exposed to the huge gamut of knowledge. With this started my journey of preparation for competitive exams of engineering for entry to these colleges. I wanted to be an alumnus of the prestigious institutes of the country like IIT’s and NIT’s. I put in a lot of hard work and yet due to the enormous talent and competition in the country I was unable to secure a seat at one of the college of my choice in that particular year. It was very evident from the results that I had two options, either to give up on my dream or drop and wait back for another year to accomplish the same task. I decided to open up the third option for myself, I decided that in order to achieve my dream all I needed was a little diversion along the way. I decided to diverge and enroll for a bachelors program in chemistry instead at one of the well known institution and start all over again. Towards the end of my bachelors, I started with my journey to crack the competitive exam for entry to IIT for a master’s course. This time I was much better prepared to handle the pressure and competition. It took one year of extreme hard work and dedication and there I was in 2015 with an offer letter in my hand for admission to IIT Gandhinagar. After all this time I realized all it took was a little patience and dedication to be where I wanted to be all along.
