Some Old Memories...

I joined my school late... In the month of July... After, the board results were out...

As my scores weren’t able to fulfill the criteria required for the admissions for my further schooling,I couldn’t attend my school during the months of April and May... And, with a huge loss, I was able to join after the end of the vacation period... With this, I too missed my class tests...

As I wasn’t ever a good scorer; just an average one, my parents also worried about how would I be able to continue for future studies...

My father, a government employee, and we were a middle-class family, I could never ask my father to admit me to some other school... And hence, I had to continue with the same school; obviously with heavy loss of my academics.

For every single child around, it was a vacation break; but, I was the one busy thinking of how could I improve and become a good scorer...

A lone thought which pondered over my head was; Will I ever be able to make my parents proud of me??

And then suddenly, just answering the same question for myself the tears rolled over my cheeks...

I would then find my mother and my sister around me asking for, why was I so upset..

Truly speaking, those vacations were the most heartbreaking months for me...

Those swollen eyes, those unwanted thoughts, those fierce dreams, and unquestionably those extreme negativities, which could easily bring a person down to his limits and leave him with a thought of being some worthless creature on this planet...

But somewhere on the other hands, I stood to count all those positivities, which were lost in themselves but were the only reason why I just kept smiling under such mental depression...

A smile counts a million tears... This was something which corresponded exactly to the situation.

Days went on, tears rolled off, smiles came upon and yet, I was rewarded with a piece of news; so called as one of the good ones... I was admitted to the school after such a long tenure.

It was a moment to celebrate. I got up, threw those tears away from my cheeks, and led towards what was good.

I was quite happy that I was given a seat in the school. I suddenly called my friend and announced all of it to them.

The vacations were towards an end..I was fully prepared for attending the school now... I packed up all my pieces of stuff into my school bag; more like a small kid, that striking positivism gave innumerable new hopes to me. I was unquestionably mesmerized.

Having a tinge of patience in such tough times was all about this entire story. A calm and a patient mind have infinitesimal courage to push out all the downfalls which come into the path.

I definitely learned a lot, and yet I want each individual out there, to have slight courage in oneself. And yet, everything else is already taken.
