I DID IT
For the past few months, I genuinely started believing that maybe I was just average.
My JEE result wasn’t what I had hoped for — only 89 percentile. Then came private college entrance exams, and even those felt mid. Slowly, disappointment became normal. My parents had stopped expecting much from me too. Today, when they heard the board results were out, I overheard them saying,
“Marks toh 70s mein aayenge… ab kya hi kar sakte hain.”
That hurt.
My sister opened the result first. She’s in 10th, so she thought internal marks were out of 20. She started reading my scores — all in the 80s. Maths was 94.
I smiled a little, but deep inside I still felt disappointed. “Average again,” I thought.
Then I took the phone from her and realised she forgot to add the extra 30 marks in Physics, Chemistry, and CS.
I checked again.
Maths — 94 (highest in school)
Chemistry — 93
Physics — 91
For a few seconds, I was completely blank.
After months of self-doubt, criticism, failure, comparisons, and feeling like I wasn’t enough… I finally saw my parents smile proudly because of me.
That feeling is indescribable.
Thank you, God. ❤️
