Throughout my life I have been an up above
the average student; I had scored decently in my tenth and twelfth board exams.
My decent marks in the twelfth board helped me in an acquiring a seat in a good
engineering college. I was happy to see the jovial face of my parents—finally there
desire was being fulfilled—I was happy that I am going to do it for them and I was
more than happy that four years from now and I will have a job; but seldom
things work out according to you. My education faced a down strike, engineering
started getting to my mind—in a negative way—I was feeling lonely and more than
that I was suffocating. Too much of formulas and hell lot of classes was making
me succumb to the depression.
I was a devastated soul, I discussed this
with my parents and they grow resentful with me, they were worried about my
career and future—right at their place—but if I continued engineering, I would
have committed suicide for sure.
It was this depressing moment when my love
for off the course books grew, I started bunking minimal number of classes for
reading books. I stopped by every room to seek new and old novels, I liked
reading, and I carried classics by Ruskin Bond to classrooms and read them
there. I was still not doing well at engineering but my focus was shifted and I
was feeling better at my anatomy level. This affected me a lot, I was a happy
person. The thing about reading well written book is that it inspires you to
take a pen and write. The best thing after reading a good book you can do is
write one.
I started micromanaging my time and started
writing whenever I could find time for doing my. I was seen writing in
libraries and during lectures as well. My friends were really impressed with my
writing skills and this was the moment when one of my friends told me about
freelance writing thing.
The words “freelance writing” got to my
heart, I searched the net and found substantial information about the same and
this was the moment when I told myself to #StartANewLife.
I channelized all my energy and passion to
freelancing. I bunked classes, party and football session to concentrate on my
work. I was doing really well until one day I found a US based client who
offered me a job of 1500 US Dollars—this was it—I decided to get rid of my
degree first and then I pursued my career with all the might.
Today I happen to be among top 2% freelance writers
from the world. I have abundance of work and money. My parents now believe in
my capabilities and they roam around telling their friends to let their
children choose their career on their own.
