I'MPOSSIBLE

During my childhood, I used to get good scores in the class. I was good in academics and extra-curricular activities. My favorite subject was Mathematics. The reason why I liked Mathematics was because of my friends didn't like it and they used to see that as a big burden. I liked mathematics because I wanted to be inimitable in my own way.

After my 9th Class, I got very lazy and my marks were going down like share market from 80s to 50s. My Parents were confident that I’ll get a good score in my board exams even though I got 50s during my exams. It was 2003 January I got my half yearly marks. I was so scared to go home on that day because I barely passed in science subject.  My father got worried for the first time on how I was going to perform in my board exams. He scolded me a lot. But that didn’t hurt me because my heart said that I deserved to get all those scolding.

Board exams date was announced, my father expected only average scores from me. I told him that I’ll get good scores in all subjects. He didn’t have faith in my words and challenged me to get 90 marks at least in one subject even if it was languages. I got upset by his words but accepted the challenge. I asked him to buy set of 10 dresses for me if I accomplished it.

I took a vow to myself that I should get 90 marks at least in 2 subjects and both subjects shouldn’t be languages. I had only 3 months before the board exams, I worked so hard and spent lot of time . I completed all exams with my best effort.

Finally the day arrived, my father went out with less hope to know about my score. I was praying god that at least in one subject I should get 90. Do you know what happened? I got more than 90 in 2 subjects, in Mathematics (97) and science (95). My father was so happy ad felt proud about his daughter. My father apologized for his words, but that day I thanked him for his words. For the first time in my life, I believed in one quote "Hard work never fails". I'M POSSIBLE :)
