I hope all of you are doing fine. It's been a long time since I have been actively posting on this forum.
Actually I was supposed to write this post on the very early hours of 25th December but unfortunately I didn't get time, actually now I hardly have any time to spend on online forums with the exception of a little lurking here and there on DFB. I tried to search up DFI a few days back but for some reason I am not able to operate the site anymore, don't know if it's some issue with my browser or something else but irrespective of that, DFB is now where it is.
Incase anyone is wondering what I am pursuing currently, then for those people:
- I am currently pursuing a B.Sc, I am in Sem-II with Zoology as my major and Geology as my minor.
- I am preparing for NEET simultaneously alongside my B.Sc. I just started preparing for it recently. I am trying my best to clear the cut-off for general category for an MBBS seat at Goa Medical College.
- My Final Goal is like this: Prepare for NEET Fully, give it my best next year, if Goa Medical College cut-off is cleared, then I will go for it.
- If I am not able to crack NEET, I will not be feel disheartened rather I will go ahead and continue with B.Sc and work very hard there, do M.Sc and even Ph.D, either I will opt for Zoology or Geology. If I am able to pursue a Ph.D, then I will be one of the first or actually the very first in my family lineage or bloodline to pursue a Ph.D in any field.
- I will make sure to cultivate all the necessary skills during college which will be needed by me to survive in this world because my mother always reminds me that competition is very high in today's world and it's very difficult to get a job, as there is competition on each & every turn of life and I need to be prepared for the worst both mentally and physically.
- Regardless of graduation, I will answer UPSC to try for an IAS position or get into real estate position.
So how is life going on for me?
All I can say is that I am going through the ups and downs of life. I learnt so many valuable lessons in this year that I couldn't ask for more. Today I realise that I am so privileged to be blessed with so many things. If it weren't for my mother, and several of my family members, I would have been a clueless youth who wouldn't have even want to finish schooling let alone even think of pursuing a Ph.D in anything. Also I am very happy to know that I will never get into bad habits like smoking or drinking, courtesy my very strict upbringing by my parents.
Just to share an incident: A few days back a relative of mine had expired in an accident. Coincidentally the very same night he passed away, we met him in the evening at Panjim city on 24th of December, he passed away the same night. He was drunk while riding, and now he is no more. He has a kid who is 3 years old and a wife, I can't imagine how the kid is going to feel growing up without a father. This was just one of the few lessons that I have taken up from my life, which will make me think at least ten times before I even think of taking a sip of alcohol, with the exception of fenni (like very very rarely), I don't drink alcohol.
Life has been very hard for me lately, lot of family disputes are happening and I am trying my best to get over something that happened last in 2023, won't disclose it right now but maybe in the near future I will narrate the story. Since my great aunt passed away in January of this year, just a month before I turned 18, so many things are happening, to the point of even thinking of doing something very stupid, if you understood by what I mean. But I understand that these moments will make me stronger, and there is no excuse. I am going through them because it's my destiny and God wants me to come out stronger. Remember this: God only gives us enough that we can bear, not more.
I am 18 Y/Os old and soon going to be 19, and I have two more years of teenage years left in me and I do not wish to waste them living in a digital world, these days of youth will never come again, I still feel like a kid and not an adult for the most part.
Regardless of what I become in life, I hope I do each and everything possible for the better of this country as a patriot, and be a good human being and contribute to the betterment of society, this is all I want.
