A challenge turns into an opportunity
The children in India have one word in their mind when it comes to ambition. Cricket! One of those people, I wanted to be a cricketer too. I wanted to step in the middle and make a difference for my country. With studies it always became a problem and convincing Indian parents is a task at hand because the the general population in India when it comes to the middle age group, they are extremely risk averse. People hate loses more than they like gains. As a result not everybody gets a chance to pursue their passion. I was given various compliments by my coaches which motivated me even more to play the game for my country. I was definitely good at it because this is something I liked doing the most. I needed a year break to prove I could make a difference. After trying very hard to convince my parents, I was handed over the responsibility to myself and asked to leave the home for a year. Against my heart but with a strong will and determination and a strong mindset I decided to leave and make a difference. It was the hard work of a year, with a lot of temperament and patience I had got call from Australian Premier League, one of the premier leagues getting selected into which was very difficult and only few people from the state could make it. With tears in the eye, I showed the selection mail to my family which restored the trust and I was welcomed back with a huge celebration.
