DSCE.. Just a normal student.. Bellow average I thought I was.. not so brilliant marks.. Even lesser motivation.. Suddenly we lose a graph theory teacher and another one shows up.. Big deal right? WRONG!..
Now this guy shows up in class, looks just like one of us and starts the most terrible lecture ever! and all hell breaks loose in class.. For the first five minutes that is.. Sir then spoke like a teacher I never had.. The passion, the charisma.. For the first time since 10th boards, I smiled in a classroom..
We learnt the subject by actually doing it, actually got inspired in it, I've always been interested in CSE but for once I actually transformed into an engineer.. A scientist.. I was actually getting off my lazy behind and doing something for a change.. and it feels oh so good..
Sir's arrival changed my life, suddenly people are recognizing me and im hungry for even more! Problems stay in my head all day and night.. A solution must be found! I was actually learning something for the first time in my education and being appreciated for it.. Code starts flowing soo much more easily from my hands.. I discover technologies i never knew existed.. Suddenly I need apps on my phone to recap the days events and tell me what ideas I thought off.. me! Who was always considered a bad student because of my marks..
My main point: To tell people that marks aren't everything.. You have the potential in you, regardless of who you are, as a human, to achieve milestones in your field of interest. You just need the motivation.. Are you a student scoring bad marks? Are you a student acing your exams but still feel you are not in your area of interest? Are you extremely low on confidence? Not sure what you are doing? All these things don't mean that you are useless, or not good enough.. It just means you havent been motivated yet.. I found my motivation in a certain Sudarshan Iyengar.. You just haven't found your Sudarshan yet.. :p
