I went into college thinking that it would be a smooth ride. But I was dumbfounded by how tough it actually was. That greatly lowered my confidence. Me not performing up to my expectations lowered my self-esteem. I didn't have a purpose to work harder. I didn't know why I needed to change and why I had to perform better in my studies. Then in the Dashain vacation, I went home. I missed home a lot. There, I saw how genuinely happy my mother was that I was back home. I realized that if I kept on doing what I was doing, that smile, which is very dear to me, would fade away. I didn't want that to happen. I wanted my parents to be proud of me and I didn't want the sacrifice they made for me go to waste. I found my purpose. I had to change. And, I did. I just focused on my goal of getting my name in the Top 30 in the IOE Entrance Exam and studied as hard as I could. I pushed myself to the limits and at the end, I achieved the goal.
What I learned from the journey is that we all have the potential to achieve anything we want. It just takes purpose and consistent grind to get there.

My initial plan was to make a video with my photos from college, with me narrating the story. Turns out I even have 5 photos of me from college. 😆
