When I joined the first year of college I found everything to be new . The new course was difficult and difficult to comprehend. Keeping pace with the theory classes and practical’s was a very difficult task. If I worked hard on my theory classes I found no time left to complete the practical classes notes. Attempting to complete the practical notes I found it to be very difficult to revise my theory notes. Though I had faced and overcome academic challenges in my life before but these college studies were different. I had never experienced such tough times. I found myself surrounded by thick hard bound books and before I could finish reading one another one was staring at me waiting for its turn to be read. It was like a relay race and I was getting slower and the fatigue was taking its toll. I started feeling low and did not know how I would pass my term exams. Even my confidence took a dip. Now a days when I looked at myself in the mirror. I found a stooping ,burdened with load girl staring at me. Was it really me I wondered if I could do anything to improve my performance. However what ever I did it did not improve my performance. I was losing my concentration and my attention span was diminishing. Then one day when I reached home I found my elder cousin sister waiting for me in my room . She reciprocated my greetings and hugged me lovingly. She was surprised and worried at my condition. She tried to cheer me up but with little success. Then she thought of a plan to help me overcome my situation. She introduced me to a friend of hers who had passed out of the same course as me just a year ago . This friend of hers called Sudha had a very pleasant and cheerful disposition. She told me that when she had joined the course then even she had felt the course to be very difficult due to its vast syllabus. Hearing these words from her came as a pleasant surprise for me as she was the gold medalist in the college in the very course that I was undertaking. I found her talk very riveting. She was so helpful that she even agreed to help me in my studies. The best part is that she had a unique skill to pep you up and fill you with hope and optimism. Along with these positive feelings she also passed on her notes that made my understanding of the subjects very easy. I found that when I was at the lowest point of my life in terms of confidence and esteem. Sudha didi came to me like an angel who not only gave me the tools to help me in my studies and academics but the hope and optimism that she brought in my life came as a life and career saving blessing from god.
