Can you tell us about a time when you have overcome significant odds to achieve something for yourself or for others, and how you managed it?
Answers
I was in my 6th grade. I had pocket money of Rs 100 per week. Once I wished and decided to save the money sacrificing other stuff and buy a beautiful bicycle to ride to school every day. After I collected Rs 2000, I was checking on the cycle I wanted to buy. One of my friends named Sameera comes from an economically poor background. She was to pay her an examination fee of Rs 1500. She couldn’t pay the fee within the deadline. She was feeling so sad that she cannot attend the exam. I paid her fee Rs 1500 from my saved money.
I couldn’t buy a bicycle by the time I wanted to. It got a few more weeks late. I managed to come to school by other means of transport until I got one bicycle. Even though it was a bit difficult, I was glad that I helped my friend to write her exam.
Everyone in his/her life has faced odds and has overcome that in a way.
- One famous personality that has overcome his odds and is at peak of his success is Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

- While he was goalkeeping for his football team he was selected as a wicketkeeper by his school sports teacher for an inter-school competition.
- He was not selected for the Indian team for the first time after working over on his skills, so he took the job of ticket collector to support his family.
- His interest was in cricket and he left his job and again brushed up his skills and now everybody knows him.
- M.SD is now inspiring millions of youth and has achieved a lot in his life.
