~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
During my schooling I was very weak at Drawing and
Mathematics. Because of this I gave up after Matriculation and could not go for
Engineering or Medical career. Nevertheless I was keen for Engineering so I
passed my Electrician’s and Electrical Supervisor’s certificate courses
administered by the Government of Rajasthan and took up the jobs. While I was
working, I saw one of my colleagues pursuing for his Part-time Diploma in
Electrical Engineering. This motivated me to join this course. I started
studying for my Diploma in Electrical Engineering. I was regularly attending
evening classes after my day’s job. This was all very tiring; above all the
duration was four years. However every semester up to third year I cleared. In
the Fourth and Final Year both semesters I studied very hard. I use to solve
ten sets of past examinations daily. In a way preparation became so good that I
could write the Final Year Examinations easily. I passed the examination with
First Class and First Rank. I scored the highest marks in the batch and
experienced a success. Although it was very difficult to attend classes daily
after the day’s job and also to cope with subjects of Engineering Drawing and
Mathematics and pass this course which I overcame with my strong will and hard
work.
