Assalamualaikum everyone.
Today, I will tell you about the different struggles of life since childhood.
Hi!
I am Abrar, doing BBA from Islamia College.
Life since childhood was very tough from my point of view, as it had different stages of struggles.
I have experienced that everyone has challenges in life, no matter whether small or big.
Page 2
Now, I will tell you about my challenges in life and struggles in my life.
Most of the time, I was alone at my home when my parents went to work in my childhood days.
This is the reason I am physically weak.
Page 3
One thing I want to tell you is that I got love and support from everyone, and I have a very strong bond with my family and friends (brothers and sisters).
I have faced challenges, especially in the stage (childhood to my 10th class).
After my 10th class, my life changed, not because there were challenges; my friend circle separation was the main reason for changing my life after my 10th class.
Page 4
I studied in Minto Circle School, and I have made many memories that will stay forever.
I remember the day when Khooru Sir (very strict teacher at Minto Circle School) slapped me because I was unable to solve questions of maths in 10th class.
Page 5
In my 10th class, I joined SN Das Gupta College (Tuition) for preparing subjects like Maths, Science, and English.
My best friends, Sabiq, Kamil, and Anees, also studied in SN Das Gupta College.
I enjoyed a lot because my brothers (best friends) supported and helped me always.
Page 6
During that time, we all friends had to give CBSE board exams.
My biggest weakness was maths, a very tough and confusing subject for me.
I miss those days in Minto Circle School and SN Das Gupta College (Tuition). Whenever I walk into the streets of my old tuition, I remember the memorable, sweet, and fresh old days of that time.
Page 7
One day, we all got to know that the final examination datesheet had been released, and now all students had to prepare more because CBSE papers are more difficult than JKBOSE papers.
Then admit cards were released, and our centre was DPS Atwajan School.
Page 8
Our first paper was Urdu, a very easy subject for me.
On the very first day of examination, I thought that I would pass all the subjects easily.
But I knew maths was a very difficult subject, confusing and difficult to understand.
I was very happy and relaxed during my last paper (SST).
After giving the last paper, I went to my maternal home, and on the very next day, lockdown was imposed for 21 days because of Covid-19 (Corona).
Page 9
I opted for basic maths, but I didn’t know that I would fail in maths.
On the day of result, I got to know that I had passed all subjects except maths. I was in a situation of do or die.
Then the real story began.
Page 10
The next day, I applied for revaluation. I thought that I would get 5 grace marks, but nothing happened. Out of 5 marks, I got 3 marks.
Then I understood that I had to give the compartment exam of maths.
As you know, maths was a very difficult subject for me. You could understand how much burden was on me at that time and how much under pressure I was during the preparation of this subject.
Page 11
I remember the day when I had to fill the examination form, but I was at my maternal home. This situation could target my whole career because going to school that day was the biggest challenge.
My grandmother and I went to home facing many challenges, and my father, elder brother, and I went to school from home on a bike.
After filling the examination form, I was thinking that if I failed again, what would happen then.
Page 12
On the day of examination, I was thinking that I would do only those questions which were in my zone, i.e., I would attempt only easy questions.
My examination centre was again DPS Atwajan School, but I was not alone. Along with me were some school friends who also had to give the maths compartment exam.
After giving the examination, I was very confident that I would pass the subject easily. Then the next day, I went to my maternal home.
Page 13
But after some days, my grandfather died. We all were shocked, and the entire family cried.
This situation was not acceptable, but this was the reality.
As time passed, everything was getting normal.
Page 14
One day, I was at my maternal home, and I got to know that today was the result day.
After I checked my compartment result, I could not believe that today was the day when I cleared my compartment subject.
I passed all the subjects by clearing my maths.
Page 15
I was very happy and excited to opt for a stream that fits me and aligns me towards my future.
I shifted from CBSE to JKBOSE, and I went to SP Higher Secondary School.
The stream I opted for was commerce.
Page 16
In 11th class, accountancy was the subject I was scared of because it was a numerical subject.
Page 17
In my 11th class, I did not go to school as our classes were online.
I did not enjoy my 11th class very much as I did not interact with my teachers, and attending online classes was a major challenge at that time.
At the time of final examination, I was not confident about the accountancy paper.
Page 18
But this time, I gave the paper without fear and stress, and I scored very good marks in all subjects (including accountancy).
My examination centre was in my own school, and the strictness level was very easy and lenient.
On the day of result, I was alone at my home, and my friend told me that the result had been declared.
I checked the result, and I cried after I passed all subjects with good grades.
Then came the class that would be very crucial for me.
In 12th class, I enjoyed a lot as the HOD of the commerce department was Khalid Sir (my best friend).
Page 19
I have to share a very important thing with you.
Khalid Sir taught us accountancy, and he made my base very strong and easy.
Page 20
He taught me alone sometimes, and I enjoyed it when he taught me alone in class.
I went to the staffroom not only to study but to meet teachers and to interact with all my favourite teachers.
Then, after spending some time with teachers in school, I felt relaxed and fresh.
Page 21
My new friends also studied in SP Higher Secondary School.
In 12th class, we had a very great time. I joined Umer Sir’s tuition class, which was in Dalgate.
Page 22
In the morning was our tuition time, and then after coming from tuition, we went to school.
Those days, I could not understand the importance of school days, but now after going to college, I realize that school days are the best days ever.
I told you earlier that Khalid Sir was my best friend, and he used to teach me alone when possible.
Page 23
I remember the day when I went to the staffroom and told the ma’am who taught us entrepreneurship that I was unable to make a timetable and focus on my studies.
Not only ma’am, but all teachers who taught us helped me in different ways.
Every teacher supported, motivated, and loved me always.
Page 24
I was a special student to all the teachers.
Now I will tell you about Khalid Sir’s biggest help. I had to make an assignment in accountancy, and Khalid Sir guided me personally. This was the reason I was successful in completing all my projects and assignments on time.
Page 25
The support of all teachers helped me to fight every challenge with confidence and courage.
When the datesheet was released, I was not mentally prepared as the datesheet was released at night.
Now the real countdown began.
The day I went to school was the day to receive the admit card.
Page 26
My examination centre was Jawahar nagar School.
Our first paper was Business Studies, and I did all papers easily.
On the day of the last paper, I was very happy because after that there were no exams.
The next day, after completing all my exams with confidence, I went to my maternal home, and I enjoyed and played with my cousins.
Page 27
Then came the day of do or die, i.e., the day of result.
JKBOSE told that they would declare the result tomorrow, but they declared the result that evening. I was confused, and the website was also crashed.
Then after some time, I checked my result, and I passed 12th standard. I was satisfied and happy with my result.
Page 28
As I was at my maternal home, my whole family was happy and surprised.
Everyone congratulated me, and finally, I was good enough to enter a new life, i.e., college life.
I was very excited and confident to improve my skills, knowledge, and potential.
Page 29
Life is an adventure. Don’t take stress about anything in life.
Be confident even if you don’t know anything.
Show people your talent in the field you have and shock them with your skills and potential.
I will tell you one thing: in my 10th class, maths was a very difficult subject for me, and I was not confident, and I failed.
Page 30
The same case happened in my 12th class, i.e., accountancy was a subject that was very difficult, but I was confident and passed the subject on the first attempt.
Confidence gives you strength.
So be confident and do whatever you want to do in life.

Part 2 will be published soon.
