A moment that defines your school life

I am writing about an incident from my school life, which occurred during the second week of the current Engagement Challenge. I was known to everyone as a weak student in my school life. My father was a renowned school teacher. Since I was a weak student, my father, a teacher, sometimes felt embarrassed for me. My younger brother was a very talented student. My father was very proud of my younger brother. My family was very worried about me because I was a weak student.

I took my son's school photo and added my reflection.

I had to sit at the study table most of the day. My memorization power was low. I used to skip my studies and go to play cricket. I used to get beaten and scolded a lot by my family for skipping my studies and going to play cricket. I went to college to take the entrance exam. Eighty students can get admission in the college in two branches. I studied a lot before taking the entrance exam. The results were declared two days after the entrance exam. I did not go to see the results. Two days after the results were declared, I came to know through my friend that my name was number one in the result list. I could not believe it. The next day, I went to the college to see the results secretly because I was afraid that the number one name in the result list would be someone else with the same name.

I was sure that I had secured the first position when I saw my father's name next to my name in the result list. Then I first informed my family about my results. My father came and got me admitted to the college and left me in the hostel to study. That day of my life was the best result of my student life. From then on, the story of my life changed. Today I am an electrical engineer, but none of my family or my relatives had bright hopes for me.


Describe how you felt as a student

My school life was very difficult. As I was a weak student, I found it difficult to get good results in every subject. I had to live by a certain family rule in my school life. I had to sit at the study table on time every day. I rarely hung out with friends outside. I was given a specific time of day to play sports. I always wanted to be free from the family's prison life.

During school life, I was focused on playing sports with my friends.

Once I submitted all the school exams with blank notebooks. I did not write anything in the notebook. When the exam results were announced, my father was called to the school to see my results. My father was a teacher, so he was very angry after seeing my results. My father came home and threw me out of the house. I spent one night on the street. My mother brought me home from the street the next day. My mother advised me to concentrate on my studies. I wanted to play cricket all day and get rid of the family's prison life.


A friend or teacher who mattered to you

I am sharing the story of a teacher. Since I was a very weak student, my father hired a teacher to teach me at home. When I passed from eighth grade to ninth grade, my teacher started teaching me after planning. Before the classes started in ninth grade, my math book was almost finished. When I went to class in ninth grade, I used to do math first. I liked doing math, so I was admitted to science. I liked reading higher math, physics, and general math books in school the most. I used to get the highest marks in math and science classes because my home teacher had already finished teaching me math and science books. My home teacher contributed the most to the improvement of my educational life. I still remember that contribution of that teacher from my childhood.


A mistake or lesson from school life

In my school life, I never cheated in exams or asked for help from other friends. I would write whatever I could in the question paper, submit the notebook, and leave the exam hall. I always read the entire book before entering the exam hall and prepared myself. I had a belief that if I read the entire book, I would be able to write the answers to all the questions in the exam notebook. The certificates I have earned in my life through education, I have done it from my own brain. I have not had the help of others in any of my exams. I have studied honestly throughout my educational life, which is my mental strength.


Reflect on how those school days shaped who you are now

When I was studying in college, I studied a lot. I tried to keep my results in the top three in every exam. I studied the most in the hostel life after leaving my family. Whenever I started studying competitively, my life's education turned around. At that time, no one in my family had to tell me about education. I studied a lot to be in the top three in the competition. My home teacher helped me a lot in math and science, which turned the corner in my life's education.

Greetings,

Thank you so much for participating in the contest.

Your post beautifully portrays your struggle as a student, your recovery from losing confidence. Despite having a respected teacher like your father, identifying yourself as a weak student and the pressure of family expectations, these things made me emotional too.

The incident of your college entrance exam was really amazing. Not going to see the results, getting the news of being first through a friend, and then secretly going to confirm these emotions were expressed very beautifully through writing. The moment of confirmation after seeing your father's name next to your name was really a happy and inspiring moment for you.

The incident of submitting a blank notebook and spending a night on the road, although very difficult, carries a cruel lesson in real life. This incident also creates feelings in the reader's heart.

The role of the home teacher was quite important. Teaching in a planned manner, completing the syllabus in advance and gradually developing interest in studies shows how a good teacher can change a student's life, it is truly inspiring. Never cheating in exams, the mentality of moving forward with one's own efforts reveals the strength of the writer's self-confident character.

The last part, the development of a competitive mindset in college and hostel life, creates a beautiful conclusion. The struggle of school life that has shaped an electrical engineer today is clearly evident. I found it to be an inspiring and struggle-based story of school life where the journey of transformation from weakness to strength leaves a mark on the reader's mind.
