I repeated class 11 commerce....Passed class XII with 67%.
when I was in B.Com Part I i met with an accident 6 months before exam. for 3 months i was bed ridden and next 2 months I walked with scratch.....I gave exam...I secured 91% in Accounts. It comforted my overall % for rest 2 years as more struggle were waiting for me.
In B.Com Part II my aunt ( Papa's elder sister) visited us to stay with us. She wasdiabetic & widow and had lost her daughter at early age. No one was there for her except her. Our life & my studies were at chaos. I was in B.Com Part II.
when I was in B.Com Part III completion, aunt expired and we were amidst chaos again. She had no heir so I performed mukhaagni to her. I performed all rituals and my parents supported me in that.
then the biggest storm arrived in my life. i started mission CA. For a chap who failed in Class XI commerce, mission CA was a storm.
I failed 7 times in CA PEE II examination. in 8th Attempt I prepared Grp 2 for 6 months and gave group 1 the blind shot, i had decided if I dont clear it I will leave CA.
the group which i didnt touch for 6 months dragged me to CA Final. I secured 165/300 in that and 144 in group 2 i heartily prepared.
the day I got positive result of clearing CA PEE II and entry to CA Final, Papa hugged me with teary eyes. that was last time he hugged me.
I completed articleship in 2010 and in 2011 papa expired. Just Mom and me. It took a toll of 3 years to regularise family pension. I took break from studying as domestic duties piled up before me.
I dont do Job. No one is there to look after my mom if i go for job.
when struggle tests Us it makes us of steel nerves no one can break.
my mission CA is on. I cant afford expensive tutions so I check out Youtube videos by CAs and regularly visit our Parent Site ICAI. I take notes from material provided on the site on laptop gifted by papa when i cleared CA PEE II, Its in abysmal state, but still a great help.
WHEN GOING GETS TOUGH
TOUGH GETS GOING
Dont feel Low. Dont get frustrated by knowing others becoming CA earlier than you. Once you clear CA and opt for practice or satisfy conditions by ICAI you will be FCA - Fellow member of ICAI, Once a FCA, FCA for ever. so there is nothing to lose for you
In case you opt for Job or service sector, All CAs are same being member of ICAI. no room for frustration
Age is no factor. All one has to focus is to aim at living the dream, be at any age. I am 37. I don't do job. I live a simple life. looking after my mother and my missionCA. I am going for CA Final exam in May 2018.
Wish you all success in life and your mission CA.
don't lose hope & focus. aim sharp & hit hard.
When Fate whispers in your ears - " You can't handle the storm,
reply back - " I AM THE STORM".
stay blessed.
