The Memoir of 6 Golden Years
This is the story of a child who went to his maternal grandmother's house after taking his Annual Exams in Class V. He was enjoying his holidays when a thunderclap of news came his father was coming to pick him up because his results were out. The boy was well aware that he was considered below average by his teachers, who often passed out of grace. They used to complain that he was a "dumb boy" who came to school, carried his bag, and left without making any meaningful impact.
His father had decided to transfer him to a new school, which came as a shock to the boy. He knew he would lose all the friends he had worked so hard to make and leave behind the world he had slowly built for himself—a particularly challenging reality for an introverted child like him.
The boy accompanied his father to the new school for admission, and soon after, the first day of this new chapter arrived. He was overwhelmed with nervousness and underconfidence, wondering how he would make new friends or adapt to this unfamiliar environment. As he entered his new classroom, surrounded by unfamiliar faces, he felt lost and alone amidst hundreds of students.
Day by day, he tried to adjust to his new world. Then came the announcement of the first inter-house debate of the year. His teachers insisted that he participate, unaware that he had never been on stage. With guidance from his teachers and the help of Google, he prepared a speech. Writing wasn’t the hardest part—speaking was.
The day of the debate arrived, and it was his turn to speak. Terrified and shivering, he approached the podium, clutching his speech paper. Fear gripped him what if someone laughed at him? Mustering all his courage, he turned on the mic and began in a hesitant voice: “Good mor… morning… one.” It was incredibly difficult, but somehow, he completed his speech.
At that point, the boy was someone who struggled to read and write properly. He couldn’t even do basic calculations, and as his teachers described him, he was a "dumb child." But with time, effort, and determination, he began to improve.
Fast-forward to Class 10—the board exams, a societal taboo often used to compare and judge young minds. The boy worked incredibly hard and scored an impressive 83%. Despite this, he was still compared to others, and no one truly appreciated the journey he had taken—from barely passing to excelling. But the boy didn’t mind; he was proud of himself.
Although Mathematics remained his weakest subject, he chose Science with Mathematics in Class XI and worked even harder. When nominations for the position of Assistant School Captain were announced, he decided to nominate himself—and he won. No one understood how he managed to achieve this, but someone above, watching his efforts, was surely appreciating his hard work.
The boy’s greatest strength was his ability to dream big. He believed in himself when no one else did. Everything happening to him felt like a dream, but he knew he was living his own dream.
Then came Class 12 his final year of school. It was a flood of emotions and heartbreak, knowing he would soon have to say goodbye to the place that had transformed him. His journey was never easy; it was filled with highs, lows, and taunts. But it was this journey—this ongoing effort—that shaped him into the person he is today.
Looking back, he believes miracles do happen, especially at Fabindia, his school, which made him capable enough to write this article. Every teacher in his life acted as a sculptor, shaping him. He now understands that the ultimate goal of education is not just about marks but about building character and creating a successful future.
This journey was only possible because of his family—his parents, his sister, and his principal, Ms. Rajshree Shihag. To all his teachers, and to Fabindia, he owes immense gratitude. It is heartbreaking for him to bid farewell in two months, but his heart is full of appreciation.
Thank you, everyone, for leading me to where I am today.
