The novel anticipation is building.

With the result of Matriculation Examinations, the new glitter can be easily noticed among number of eyes around me. Girls, riding on moped at once became somewhat proud about the unknown excitement. Guys are riding little rapidity with musical horns to celebrate the success. All this magic is due to the anticipation of Novel College Life. The proud girls, celebrating guys and college campus full of new colors remembered me my entry in college. The year passed was my last year in college, so the emotions gathered with more intensity. Well, my start of college-life was not so exciting and charming as compared to these guys and gals.

I passed my matriculation with seventy percent of marks and was planning to join Arts stream for my higher secondary exam. But, many of my family members and teachers insisted for the science stream. The discussion cum debate was very long and finally, we decided to choose science field for my 12th class. It was nothing wrong with me, because I was interested in science field too. The only enemy of mine was the ‘Algebra.’ I was very much weak in the numerical problems and equations. My maternal uncle’s friend was well known mathematics teacher in the town who assured me that he will manage my Algebra problems and I can easily get rid of this ghost. He gave me the list of well-known tuition teachers for other subjects like Biology and Physics; and finally I was ready to be a science student. But this process took a long time and the form submission date for science stream was gone off. This was really shocking for me, as I was mentally prepared for Science now. The efforts for my admission began when science stream Junior colleges were ready to hold the classes. I was very much late, but with the help of my uncle and his friends, finally got one seat in Anglo-Hindi Junior College. The final obstacle was overcome by my father who paid two thousand rupees as donation. I was the one unfortunate guy who scored seventy percent, still admitted by submitting the donation. This was really a pain for me and this process; all these actions gave birth to the anti-science stream mind in me. Finally though I was in the science stream, I was not at all happy with my uncle and his friend because they were those who insisted for the science stream and because of them, my father have to pay the donation amount. So, I rejected to join my uncle’s friend’s tuition and never went to the list of teachers provided by him, which was my next adverse action. All these actions result in many ill-fated results in future; which I will share some other day. But today, it’s about my entry in Junior college, which was not that much exciting and promising.

Anyways, my young friends are entering in the new life and I wish them all the best and hope every success for them.
