Two strikes in school and I was almost out. My third failure gave me a wake-up call that finally cracked my stubborn mediocrity. As a student, I was academically poor. I loved playing sports like cricket and running marathons, but the equations of mathematics went over my head. Theories bored me. The result - I almost failed twice in my 6th and 7th standard. The story repeated in my 8th standard, but my headmaster has had enough. He told my father that either I repeat the year or leave the school. My father thought it wouldn't be wise to repeat, so he sent me to boarding school. It turned my life around 360 degrees. Being away from my parents made me realize that I needed to get serious about life. Three things I owe to my boarding school: [1] Self-discipline - Life there was disciplined from waking hours to meals. I had to get up at 6 am every day. Food was limited and something I wasn't used to before. It helped me to become more organized and responsible. [2] Competitiveness - I found students at my level or a step ahead. It gave me the drive to push my limits and compete with them. [3] Self-confidence - I moved from a CBSE school to an SSC board where the syllabus was less difficult. I went from being a below average-student to a rank holder. This transformation to success instilled confidence in me. The boarding school experience got me back on track academically and personally. The self-confidence, work ethic and never-say-die spirit I gained there have helped me immensely ever since. Although tough, I am grateful for that turning point in my student life. P.S.- Can you spot me in this pic? #entrepreneurspirit #entrepreneurlife
I'm in the same position in school right now. But taking ranks 10s out of 100 but still hits me hard like Back in the time I was taking top 3 ranks, Now I'm in 11th but it's ok. I think I can pull it off on 12th boards.
