Pimpri Chinchwad College of Engineering Campus Experience

I was selected in GFGxStudentChapter2.0 in GGGxPCCOER as a member of the PR/OR team. But before getting selected I gave many interviews with different clubs but failed, even though I had a bad interview for another team in GFG itself.

But failure wasn’t new to me, I am a guy who had a slightly different schooling than others. As we go on picturing a normal schoolboy in a class was never meant for me. I was always a bit different. And that’s what made me be where I stand today.

At the start, that is my class 10, I passed out from a school wherein I was in the first batch of school and we were just 13 students in a class with no other subdivision. And when you don’t have a competition set at such levels in life you happen to take competition for granted. This affected my progress somewhere, but this also made me a guy who has his set goals, and who never gives up on his dreams, thoughts, and principles.

Later on, when I passed my 10 with those other 12 we faced a situation of lockdown due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Everything was suddenly stopped and we were pushed to an online mode of education. That is not that disturbing but it is. A sudden shift in education patterns made it hard to be accepted by kids of my age at that time.

And me being different was keen that if anything happened I would take science and wouldn’t be dropping either maths or biology in my further years until I reached my undergrad. So with both group and online mode, I was flying in the world of games and movies on my phone. It was when my 12 came up suddenly, giving me a wake-up call, I started focusing on my studies.

But I don’t know was enough or not but it wasn’t easy for sure. I had to complete the entire 11th,12th maths and biology portions in just a time of 10 to 12 weeks.

And then there came my 12th boards following a series of entrance exams that lasted for almost 3 months. With a span of less than 15 days between 2 exams I had to shift between subjects that is between biology and maths.

After failing in approximately 7 entrances I finally did good in one and got a direct seat in engineering in my college. Looks to be too easy when we read the above four lines but the period between my first failure and success was no less than a shower of fire.

You have many people in your life who affect you the most because they care about you and you care for them too. Your parents, your teacher and even your relatives and friends are one of those. But after a time you start losing all hope start to get reduced, and confidence starts demolishing. You start losing self-confidence, belief, and hope but still cannot do anything other than try.

I was in the same scenario and had nothing more than a chance to try always giving my best then restarting from the start and again trying to be the best. And that’s what life is all about. Possibly I lost hope but still tried, I wasn’t the one but still tried, possible I was not meant but still tried.

After the success everyone knew me, I was a guy to had proven myself, but before that, I was nothing more than a trial of a picture. Not always meant to be the one.

Whatever the hardship was not losing hope and trying for that last chance keeps you going on. Problems come again and again in life but still keep trying on.

I am in a good space, in a great institute, with great people, but this would nothing be if I hadn’t tried. Whatever the past was, however, the start was, just taking good out of it makes a larger difference in today.

Everything I have from my thinking to my attitude, from my behaviour to my skills, everything is because of my past. Yes, there may still be some flaws but that will keep getting out as even his would be my past and the future where I would live, will try to make it a good present.

Hardships come and go, failure comes and goes but your present never comes back, this time won’t come back and your life won’t come back. We must work hard while living life not neglecting life and working that what the major thing I learnt from my journey till today.

Once a great person told me “You must be hoping for the best, but also prepare for the worst” This is what my motto is and will be always and I won’t be making the same mistakes I made earlier.

And yes I will continue to be facing my failure, hardship and out of all that I will continue to be different.
