5. Standing on My Ground
I completed my 10th standard with a 10 CGPA in the year 2017. Ever since I was introduced to Social Science as a subject, I fell in love with it!
History never bored me. Political Science left me wanting for more, and thus, I was firm to opt for Humanities in Class 11th.
But, like any other Indian household, my relatives were less enthusiastic and supportive of this decision and wanted me to pursue either Science/Commerce, as they have more โscopeโ!

I can safely say it was indeed one of the best decisions of my life to opt for Humanities in Class 11th. Scoring decently in the papers was not a problem as I loved the subject. I passed Class 12th in 2019 and was able to secure a seat in my dream university- โDelhi Universityโ!ย

But, I was blessed to have my family and teachers who believed in me. When I didnโt, they encouraged me to apply for a re-evaluation.

The process of re-evaluation was certainly not an easy one. It was about month-long, and due to extreme uncertainty, whether or not my marks would improve in the end, I was extremely stressed for over a month.
