?I found it really difficult to survive at IIT in my initial days.??It was my first time staying away from home. Competitive environment, academic pressure and struggle to stay at a hostel thousands of km away from home made my life like hell. Wait, here I didn't mean IIT is a horrible place for a mediocre student like me. Actually, it was me who was extremely panicked. I was worried about my performance and never ready to leave my comfort zone. I remember the day before my endsem exam, I was crying for almost three hours in front of Hima Anaredy Ma'am. Yes, she was there listening to me for that three hours. She was there with me on my toughest days. She inspired me to fight against my own negativity. And that's it.? IIT became my second home. At the end of my IIT tenure, I have decent CPI, good placement abroad and the most important one -? 'my self confidence'. Thanks SWC for this magic :-).?
