Urvish Mehta

My name is Urvish, Urvish Mehta.I am an Electrical Engineer.I did my graduation from Gujarat University in the year of 2011.I completed my B.E with 74% of aggregate and Top Rank (Always first) in 5 semester from total of 7 semesters. My intention for writing this is not to boast. The reason to include the above sentence is to let you know that I believed in my self when it was most needed. Let me tell you this. I only scored 68% in my 12th grade. And as we all know that to get into a good Engineering Institute ,the least you can score is 85 or 90% (% are not everything..but believe me guys it is also nothing..) So due to my fiasco in my 12th I ended up in a quite ordinary Engineering school. Now it was disappointing. I was disheartened, but not dissatisfied. Because somewhere in my heart I knew that I had not given my 100%,I wasn't up to the mark. SO I did not blame my result on educational system or circumstances .(As many of my mates were doing-easiest thing to do..) There was only one person to blame for ,My self. Firstly and most importantly I accepted that, I accepted that there is no one to blame than Me. Now that helped me allot. I understood that I can NOT change the adverse conditions by just criticizing the system or teachers or the educational board. And took the responsibility on myself. The attitude of people around me was unbearable, I could see the look in their eyes. it was the look of pettiness, abashment . Soon I observed that , I also was being avoided by some so called "scholar students".Now as long as I was a bright student , i was their cool dude. But when I was on the fall, no one was there for me. My family and some closed friends supported me ,kept my moral high. Even some of them mocked and ridiculed me(because they thought i was potential less) . But i did not respond to any of this. It wasnt meant that I dint care. But during my that hard time i had decided that I will bonce back. To show every one that i can do anything. only Percentage does not matter. Some things are greater than stupid percentage. It is important to be a good person.So i did not respond to any of that by talking (waste of time..) .I used that humiliation to do hard work .In fact all those things reminded me that I dont belong here(At the base). And used it as a source of inspiration. It was not easy at first , but eventually fit in . I work really really hard to achieve something (respect)in my bachelors . And I was rewarded,Didn't I?????
