The Big Day!

When you read the title, everyone thinks about different days in their life that changed them as a person, or that changed their life in some way. 

But here because this is a blog related to medical aspirants and future medicos, I'll be describing the one common day we all have, the day for which we have been preparing for months, ignored meetups, forgot our hobbies, and for which we fought through all odds, the day of our final NEET UG exam, post which everything changes.

Here I'll be describing my personal experience in brief about my NEET UG 2022 exam, and giving a general idea about the exam day.

On the exam day,

July 17, 2022, was the day of my NEET UG exam. For many people, this was a normal day with no major events, but for me, it was the day on which my career, and future depended.

It was a positive start, having had a proper amount of sleep, I was ready to leave for my center and perform my best. I freshened up, and my parents, family, and friends wished me luck.

The exam begins at 2 pm and goes on until 5:20pm, but we are expected to be there a few hours prior, the time is mentioned in our admit cards, and there is a particular dress code that should be followed under any circumstances.

My exam center was quite far from my house, so my parents and I decided to leave early, and take lunch with us. I reached the venue much before my reporting time.

I had carried a few mind maps, and my NCERT biology textbook with me, thinking I'll just glance through the important topics before entering the hall, but I didn't do the glancing work as I thought it'll give unnecessary stress that won't help me in any way.

After having lunch, they started allowing all the students to enter the hall as it was reporting time, I too entered, they had put our room numbers on a board, but before that, we must go through security checks like frisking, get our documents checked, etc.

My seat was on the last bench, and my bench mate was another guy, for whom this was his first attempt, we had a small conversation, and later I decided to recall physics formulas and organic chemistry reactions.

They gave us our question booklets which contained our omr sheets, after verifying the serial numbers on both, we proceeded to answer our paper.

It was a brilliant paper, I put my heart and soul into the paper, and ended up giving my best. Just like that 3hrs 20mins were over, I submitted my omr sheet and headed out of the room filled with joy.

I was one of the first people to come out of the building, as soon as the watchman opened the gates, all the parents started clapping and cheering for us as though we emerged victorious in a war!!

My father was waiting for me, I looked into his eyes and told him I was victorious that day, the happy look in his eyes was the best thing I saw the whole day!!

This day became one of the best days in my life, and will remain so forever!

Main highlights of the day,

The claps we received after coming out, the sigh of relief on my parents' and my face, the personal satisfaction I had, and the happiness our all of us that day! 

 

One major lesson I learned that day, was that it is never impossible to achieve what we want if we put our heart and soul into it!
