My Experience With Education

From some days I was planing to write blog but due to my laziness and exam kind of stuffs I couldn't make it.
But,now 7th semester exam is over and I am almost free from any kind of project etc. So today I am going to write my a blog.Through this blog I want to share my experience from the environment from which I started the very initial phase of my current life.

My Village (Malgaon) :Ground of My Inception

Well I belong to a middle class family from this village in the state of Rajasthan.My family background is agricultural and this has been the main source of earning for my family.I have three siblings and I am youngest among them.Like all other my friends I started helping my family in fields before the starting of my education.
Around at the age of 6-7 years I was admitted in the school of my village.After the admission a typical day in my life was like this:-

First I was to attend the school and when it was over I used to go to fields to help my parents or grazing animals or protecting fields from animals likewise.
After sunset I used to return back home with my parents.During early days, due to fatigue just after taking dinner I used to go to sleep like others.But I was scolded and sometimes beaten by teachers due to non-completion of my home-work.So I started to study after the dinner just to finish that home work.

This kind of routine life continued till I was in class 8th.One day it was a holiday and I was sitting alone under a tree and protecting fields from animals.Then I don't how but I got stuck in some questions in mind like:- "what am I doing ? Am I going to live like this whole of my life ? Will my life be just limited to these fields and village ?".It's not like I used to hate my life or my village.I used to love my family and my village.My familiy was providing me education.In village I was having good time with my friends. But on that day I thought of going beyond that life.I was having only one answer to these questions and that was:-"I am just following the same path that others use to do.One day I will become a good farmer.Then my children will start from where I started and they will go on this same path and so on".Now you see this answer was itself a question for me and that was:- "How to change this path?". I thought about answer to this and as you might have guessed, my answer was "Education". I thought that I will get good education and I will earn good money and then there won't be any problem at all.

So that day I will say was the day that changed my life.From that day I started studying for more hours and instead of just limiting myself to competition of my home-work I started studying to get good marks in exam.For that I left no-stone unturned.Some days when I used to be with my brother in fields during nights,I used to carry the book and read using lamp.Due to my intense desire I got 91% marks in 8th class and topped my block.Impressed by that Head Master of the school helped me in filling a form for scholarship exam called "Gramin Pratibha Khoj Pareeksha".I got 2nd rank in my district as well as an amount of Rs 10,000/- as scholarship.Initially my parents were planing that now you are done with education and just concentrate in agriculture. But that result helped me in convincing my parents to go for more studies.There is small city close to my village.I took admission in one school.I passed my class 10th with 87%marks.Likewise I used to get support from my parents, I kept my studies going and now I am in 4th year of BTech course in Computer science &engineering.

This is how I have carried my educational life.
