I am Harshit Rastogi. I was born in khargupur a place many would not have heard of. It is in Uttar Pradesh near Gonda. So when I started my schooling there wasn't any english medium school in my locality so had to take admission in a Hindi medium school. At the age of 10 I decided to join an English medium boarding school in Nainital, gave there admission test and somehow got selected. As I was from a Hindi medium school I wasn't good at understanding or even speaking English. Initially I used to stay quiet and didn't interacted with any teachers and because of that I failed in an English exam. After that I told my problem to my English teacher and told my desire to learn English to him. He asked me to sacrifice my game time of 2 hours to learn from him and I did (for a week only, now I think he wanted to test my desperation of learning).
So that was how I faced a challenge of not able to understand and speak English (though I am still not perfect in it).
