The journey towards acing the board exams is no easy feat for India’s 10th – grade students. The arduous preparation process is laden with multiple obstacles. Students must grapple with a plethora of challenges, both academic & personal.
Pranit (T11), for example, openly acknowledges that he’d not thoroughly prepared for the first term & was disappointed with his grades. Nevertheless, he persisted & made up for lost time by working harder on the pre-boards & boards.
Niharika too struggled with a distinctive problem: time management. She found it extremely difficult to complete the extensive & varied syllabus on time. She’d to sacrifice extracurricular activities to devote more time to her academics.
On the other hand, Naman (T11) discovered that the sheer size of the curriculum, particularly in social studies, was a major hindrance to his academic progress. He persisted, though, putting in the necessary effort.
Naman believes that children shouldn’t be discouraged if they perform poorly on school examinations because it frequently inspires them to work harder, which leads to extraordinary outcomes.
Without a doubt, there are many obstacles on the way of achievement. Students who want to succeed must put in a lot of study time, sign up for coaching sessions, pay private tutors, & use a variety of internet tools.
The difficulties increase when extracurricular activities & academic commitments must be juggled while under pressure to succeed & under fear of failing. Despite the difficulties, the class 10 pupils persisted, diligently exerting themselves in the hopes of succeeding.
Their tenacity is proof of the human spirit’s resiliency!
