My Autobiography - Chapter 5 (My Academics,Grade 10th & hence)

Then I fell into SSC one of the niche years of our life. No classes, no extra hand-books & not to forget, no efforts either. I was not studious at all but whatever was taught within the four walls of a classroom was sincerely absorbed by me. I had become a spontaneous answerer in class except for the subject of Algebra & Geometry which I was a beggar in. I managed to reach the passing line in this subject in my boards & I was happy with my 58’s .
Preparations started for higher education. School teachers alarmed me whilst collecting the results that I have to grow up now & become more strong as I’ll be facing the world. I can’t stay timid & in kid-skin then. I tossed their words within & I grew wings to take a leap. I filled forms of different colleges in town for Arts faculty & I was shortlisted for Wilson College. My joy knew no bounds as I had earned the college without any reference, any moral support or any effort of standing in queue for collecting & submitting form. I had no friends in my school life as I was considered as the ugly duckling. But nonetheless I was proud because I was a self made boy & I’d be alone in college too.
College was about to start in august & I realized that I was running famine with good clothes. Jeans weren’t fitting me & Shirts would throw buttons out if I wear them because I had put on some pounds in the vacations.
I withdrew some cash went to the market & purchased 2 cut-pieces (beige & navy blue) respectively to stitch pants & mind you, my pants were largely 4 plaited. I headed towards Fashion Street & bought 2 T-shirts (maroon & navy blue) with an embroidered Reebok on my left tit. Way back, a sling bag caught my view & I purchased that too. A known man was selling off his cell phone that time & nothing like it to be bought. I handed him a 1000 rupees initially & owned the Panasonic GD90 mobile promising him to pay the rest 1000 in installments. I quickly applied for a sim card & got it too within a span of 2 days. I still remember my 1st cell-phone number which was 9869336511. Now, I was all ready to feel on the red carpet the very first day of college.
