I strongly feel that one will value success only if he is aware of the sweat, time and energy he has spent on the same.…

The events that I never expected to happen and the unforgettable moments that have brought me to this place, where I am standing right now. I have already experienced many challenges, trials and triumph. I have received satisfying recognition and tough criticism through out all of my efforts that I have exerted. I have seen painful losses in my family, in my friends, in my close community and in my loved ones’ lives, which are really hurtful. I have also seen genuine happiness from the people around me who have risen up and have fought back from their troubles and problems in life. I have witnessed the same happiness from the people who have incredible fighting spirit whom I draw inspiration from. I have felt disappointment from the things that i have worked so hard for but just have failed them in the end. i have felt fulfillment in the many significant lessons that I have learned and from the important achievements that I have gained because of my continuous effort.
