<p>Hey, it's my first post. I'm from India. I'm not good at English.
Please read my essay!
Prompt-Tell us about the most significant challenge you've faced or something important that didn't go according to plan. How did you manage the situation?(*) (200-250 words) </p>
<p>"I want to be an IITian" I shrieked with full alacrity as
I celebrated. My final exams were over. I packed my bags
as I prepared to go to Kota to take up a rigorous IIT-JEE
preparatory course. The competition was on. I cried as I
waved a goodbye to my parents. I was the first one in my
family to do something so big. This was the most significant
challenge in my life. </p>
<p>I struggled alot in the first few months. It was so easy to
loose hope. Everything seemed so impossible. But then I saw
people who had low expectations from life, destroying themselves.
That left me in shock. I realized I had to think big to do big.
That was a turning point. I met the most talented people across
India who told me to never give up. I could finally speak up for
myself. Kota gave me hope. It taught me to be myself and enjoy
life. The most important thing was I learned. It was the first
time in my life I felt free.</p>
<p>Two years passed. I was not the best student one could be but
it was a beautiful beginning. I needed an experience. I got one.</p>
<p>PLEASE help me. Correct any spellings, grammar mistakes or sentences. Thanks!!!</p>
