A Hilarious Odyssey of Academic

I completed my school days at Arya Central from LKG TO 12th. For a natural introvert person like me, it was not at all a bright path to become active. The school boasted a high-caliber student body, thanks to its excellent academic environment, rigorous standards, and top-notch education. My time there significantly enhanced my communication skills, which I consider the most valuable benefit I gained from the experience.

Uncertain about which stream to choose for 11th grade, I opted for bio math, as it was considered the most prestigious course at the time. Despite achieving reasonably good marks in 10th grade, which gave me confidence, I had an inkling that bio math might not be my forte. As time passed, I began to regret this decision, worrying about its impact on my future. Despite putting in great effort into my studies, I found myself exhausted at the end of each day, drained by classwork and late tuitions. I questioned the purpose of spending so much money on these extra classes, unsure of their benefit.

I often think back to Rani ma'am, my chemistry teacher from Arya. She was an exceptional educator, deeply committed to helping her students learn. Though I wasn't her favorite pupil - or anyone's, for that matter - she remained dedicated to everyone's academic progress. Despite her efforts, I still wonder how I fail for most of the class tests, which puzzles me to this day. I also recall my math teacher, who possessed a magical ability to make students hate the subject with a passion.

UG

After a series of unsuccessful academic choices, pursuing a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) turned out to be one of my best decisions, even though I initially chose it simply because the name sounded sophisticated to me. I completed my undergraduate studies at Marian College of Arts and Science. While the institution excelled in teaching, it lacked extracurricular and co-curricular activities, resulting in a highly studious atmosphere. However, my friends Angel, Muhsina, and Mekha (beautiful creatures) transformed my experience there into something truly wonderful .

CAT

Once again, I found myself making a poor decision. I invested a significant amount of time and money in CAT exam preparation course at TIME. As someone who had never lived in a hostel, my primary goal was to get into one of India's top colleges far from home ( purely for the experience rather than any dislike of home). However, I gradually realized that a person like me, who was both lazy and sigma to mathematics, would struggle to succeed in a competitive exam like CAT. Nevertheless, I continued to travel a considerable distance daily, spending entire days there without truly understanding what was happening.

There, I met a teacher named Ashiq who was exceptionally skilled in mathematics and the only friendly face I encountered there. He was like a mathematical wizard or a robotic genius. Yet, even his remarkable talent couldn't overcome my deep-seated aversion to mathematics, a legacy left by my former math teacher who had instilled in me an intense dislike for the subject.

KMAT

That was an actual turning point. Initially, I took the KMAT primarily as an excuse to travel with my friends. Surprisingly, I performed well on the exam. However, focused on my CAT preparations, I didn't give much thought to my KMAT results and neglected to register for any colleges. As the CAT exam date approached, panic set in. I ultimately decided to abandon the CAT altogether, not even attempting the exam despite having registered for it.

DUK

Without researching the MBA specializations or other program details, I enrolled solely based on my attraction to the university's infrastructure, academic culture, and the environment it offered to students.

MBA

I joined the class nearly three weeks late. Surprisingly, from the very first day, I made friends with the entire class. Both the students and teachers were wonderful. The college offers numerous opportunities for students to excel in various domains, and I'm still striving to make the most of these. Despite the spontaneous nature of my decision, I believe I won't regret choosing this path.

JOURNEY CONTINUES

I'm grateful to my parents for never forcing me to make choices they wanted. All decisions were entirely my own. It's perfectly normal to feel confused and lack a clear vision of your future. However, early preparation can certainly be beneficial in the long run.

So, don't rush .Its okay to feel blank and lost .You will defiantly figure a way out soon.
