Mystory@Manjeet Verma: How I chose my stream after class X
Mystory@Manjeet Verma
I had always been an average student and found text books boring and uninteresting, but at the back of my mind I also knew that I had to develop an interest in them in order to secure good grades in class X. To help me accomplish this, my teachers too put in all their efforts, and as they say hard work never fails, I turned out to become a bright student.
Class X is crucial for every student as this is when you need to decide the stream that you want to opt for. I was in a dilemma and everyone including my relatives suggested me to opt for commerce stream, but, I had some other plans. I always wanted to be an engineer, and this was the time to give wings to my dreams.
I secured decent marks in class X. On seeing the same and my passion for becoming an engineer, my mother too supported me in the decision of opting for science stream. This certainly was a life changing decision for me. I had chosen the stream, but in no time I found myself a little demotivated as the stream was a little tough. Nevertheless, since I had made the decision, I knew that I had to work really hard to achieve my goals. This journey was full of problems and disappointments, but finally I emerged as a winner.
My father was an Electronic and communication Engineer in BSNL and my mother took over his post after his sudden death. By this time I knew that I too wanted to be an EC engineer. I always wanted to do what my father could not, and that made me choose EC engineering.
