LIFE IS A TEST!!! WHY I GET BAD MARKS???

Giving exams at 30 with the same emotions as when I was at 13 or even worse.

 The best part of the PG here is the monthly tests and the reports being sent to parents. Luckily no progress report day and parents teachers meeting. Well I shouldn’t be giving ideas who knows….

Having normal parents who never freaked out inspite of being  tired signing the failure progress cards till 10^th grade is priceless.

In tenth even they changed, I like all my classmates thought I was born to get distinction in 10^th grade exams. And somehow made it after all the struggle, and feeling as if won the presidential election for US, only to know 2 years later that it the distinction in 12^th grade is all that mattered in a persons life, and not making it means the only two professions most Indians know engineer or doctor you cannot become.

Just after scoring more than 75% in 12^th you realize it was the entrance exams that you should have cleared.

After entering medical college it all changed exams and along with it failure had become a part of daily life. Writing exams had become like going out, eating food and before you know you had failed in one you had the opportunity to do it again.

So after giving the umpteen exams including more than 10 internals, 4 university finals and becoming a doctor and thinking yes its all over there it is the next entrances. AIIMS,PGI,CMC,COMEDK,ALL INDIA,KERALA,AMRITA,AFMC,UPSC, ST JOHNS, FATHER MULLERS are some of the entrances that I failed to clear over the 2 years.

Finally making it at manipal I knew 1 more exam at the end of the course and its done. 

Hope against hope it got worse. Every month a test, a test discussion, seminar, classes and the worse your marks send to parents at the age of 30. If you have spouse it will be send to them and you can have a laugh over it. Worse if you have children and they have email it will be send to them and then they will compete with you and probably score more marks than you.

After all this the fear of test is lost…….

There is a saying a college is a place where pebbles are polished and diamonds dimmed. That’s the problem of being diamond.
