Journey to IIM

To begin with:
I belong to the small town of Deoghar (Jharkhand), it can be called as a half urban town .
All this is necessary to say because many start chasing there dreams from a raw age of 10-12 yrs.
Well during my school days i was good enough; sincere towards my studies.
I studied in the best school of the city (St. Francis)
the reputation was such that we were taught the difference between "take CAT n give CAT" which many 100 %ile holders of CAT don't know even after taking CAT(no offence intended)

Studying in such a school (although not too famous) was something to take pride of.
I could not carry my form of pre boards and got 87.3 % in 10th (i should have done better as per my school records).
My parents were not happy enough but consoled there is always a next time.
However my 10th level knowlede was pretty strong.
This was the time when I had to decide between IIT or medical.
I chose IIT preparation and hence had to take quality coaching in that.
Meanwhile one of my cousins who was planning to take CAT that year asked me to solve some questions which i did easily
so the CAT bug had bit me by the time i did not even pass 10th.

After 10th I moved to DPS , RANCHI
chasing my dreams of an urban life , girlfriends , IIT and of course IIM

Being from a small town and extremely introvert in nature I struggled for the 2 yrs .
I failed in Maths and somehow managed to pass other subjects during my 1st terms at DPS Ranchi.
how could i show my face to my family members who considered me as a bright student.
they thought that there innocent son had become a spoilt brat.

Back in ranchi the school environment was not the best to study.
Most of the localites were sons and daughters of rich class, so there life style was pretty different and surprising to me.
I was happy riding a new ranger cycle in my 1st day @ DPS Ranchi only to discover that 10th n 9th class kids drove there own cars n bikes

I could hardly find a friend there. struggled to catch up with the sudden pressure of 10+ 2 n IIT.
visited my native every 20-25 days(8 hrs frm ranchi)
Life was hell for me.
Somehow after pushing a bit i passed my final term and moved to 12th.
Here i was not as pathetic as 11th. Finally after my preboards took board with ease n secure a not so bad 77.2 considering the situation I had lived in the past 2 yrs
