The Story Of My Life

The Grand Exit from School

I had to mechanize myself for scoring well in every subjects in the final board exam. I started studying hard. I had to reward my mother with a good result and give a big reply to many people in school and my neighbourhood. Yes indeed many people would be happy for my success. My results had variety of marks till selection. 44 in history while 99 in maths and chemistry. Others in between.

But it was life's biggest exam. My mother put all her best efforts. It was my dream to be a six pointer, score above 90 in every subject. My school expected me to get 100 in maths but not much for this.

I had never competed with anyone, but I had to compete with myself.

I always studied not for very big job, but cause I loved to. I knew if I studied well, naturally I would become established.

I did not focus much about marks while putting effort. I believed, best should be given, results to be left on God.

Exams came, I got excited. Single minute was precious then. First paper went ordinary felt bad. Then geared up. I knew one thing, 6 points was secondary but primarily I should get above 90 percent. One by one paper got over.

The day came, when results were announced. Net stopped working. I ran to cyber cafe, very nervous, saw the result. Could not believe it, I became 6 pointer. I knew maths, I would not make a 100, but at least something is better than nothing.

I sat crying for two days after maths paper, when I realized I would not make a century in it.

The entry was worth, cause there was a grand exit.

It was necessary.

I rewarded my mother with something which she deserved. I made my school, my teachers, my true friends and some well wishers very proud. It was all God's grace. I never possessed ego, but I possessed attitude.

That day, I felt, long term sacrifice, had got it's fruits.
