Once upon a time there lived a girl, her name was Shanaya Kapoor. She just gave the exams of class X. In India, we students are forced to choose subjects for our senior secondary classes before the results of class X. Though Shanaya was a intelligent student. She was good at mathematics and she has a very good control over English language. She was confused about choosing the subjects in class XI and XII as these subjects can only decide her career.
Being unaware about the courses of Science and Commerce, she opted Science because her dad and mom were from Science background. It is expected that a son of doctor will become doctor. Why ? Why can't he be a pop singer. Why ?
Getting back to the story, Initially Shanaya gave her 100%. She worked so much hard. She started studying even on nights. She scored a good aggregate in her half yearlies. Everyone, her parents, relatives and teachers were happy with her result. She continued to study with the same speed. But in the end something happened that she could not make it up to everyone's expectations. Actually, Shanaya was not at fault. There is a fault in Indian Education System which treats us like kids till class X and at the same time, it assumes us super expert adults who can manage each and every type of work.
Without getting demoralized Shanaya continued her studies. But she was a student who can excel in commerce. Newton, kirchoff, Markonikov , Hoffmann were out of her reach. But still she tried to cope up with there popular guys.She started giving more time to Physics and chemistry instead of Mathematics which was an asset of her.
With time, came XII class, last year of schooling. As Shanaya was not only girl child of Kapoors, she had a scholar brother who got AIR 152 in Jee Advance and was studying in IIT, Mumbai.Her Dad was such type of a person who loves to make comparison between his own children ( sick people, I know). At the beginning of class XII, he just handed Shanaya a long list of his expectations which demoralized her. Shanaya was a bright student. She had the potential of standing upon the expectations of everyone and she tried, but her grades were declining. Unfortunately, She scored only 52 % in her board exams. Can u believe it ? Everyone made fun of her including her friends, relatives, neighbors. Even his own dad gave her a long depressing speech having harsh sentences like " You are just a waste in our Family. Now, because of you Shanaya PEOPLE will laugh on us. " I mean what ! The parents who should console her, are behaving this much immature and kiddish. Huhh !
Shanaya was also feeling low as she couldn't make it up to her family's hope. She started taking anti-depressent pills. But it didn't work. She became more sad when the duffer students of her class got better college.
Being in feeling of depression, one day she decided to commit suicide. And she left his cruel world. Hoping that She could make people of this world realize that marks are not everything they are just numbers. For some it is 59 and for some it is 95.
Parents and teachers are the only people who can cease their ward reaching this situation.
Children should also do a decent research on the subjects,they are going to opt in senior most classes. Also, It will take less time as they spent it on Whatsapp and Facebook.
All the best guys. It's your life, you will not get it again. Make your decisions wisely.
