I was raised in a middle-class family where the father is the head of the family. He’s the only person as a source of income who look after the whole family. My family always wanted me to join a boarding school as they didn’t get a chance to read at their age. As the first child of our family, they had a high expectations of me. I was an average student at my school. One day on a result publishing day, I went with my father and met a teacher but the teacher refused to give me my result card as one monthly payment was due. My father took me to the principal room and beg him for the result card keeping the words of paying next month. The day was very embarrassing to me as I saw my dad begging for my result card as our economic condition was very low. And then I had a determination of studying harder and getting a scholarship in my school so that my dad shouldn’t pay my monthly fee. And then I started to work hard on my studies and boost up my creativity. The result was a success to a scholarship where my Dad's head held up high. My Dad is my inspiration and has played a vital role in my success.
