It happened when I was in school.
I’d never experienced a failure this big before.
I was depressed and broken.
It was an important exam to leave school and enter the college life.
The last two years of school were one of the worst years of my life.
For two years, I couldn't pass that major exam, leading to a deep depression.
All my dreams were shattered.
I questioned myself what I could do if I couldn't even get through that exam.
All my hope and confidence were completely gone.
But I'm extremely fortunate that this happened to me.
It taught me that it was all my fault.
I wasn't working hard enough.
I'm a slow learner, and I have to work 10x harder than others.
This ultimately contributed to my growth.
It made me more ambitious, work harder, and more determined.
I passed that exam in the third year and left my hometown for Delhi.
Then, started working at night and going to college during the day.
It was a challenging, long, snowy winter of my life, yet my love for art and design kept me crawling.
I was studying art and design.
