Sample answer 1

Introduction:

Anyone can achieve success by practicing the law of compounding in their lives. So, today I would like to talk about a time when I burnt the midnight oil to achieve spectacular results.

When did you do it?

I was in class 12 when I opted for medical stream. This required learning mandatory subjects like Chemistry, Physics and Biology which were really very tough for me.

How did you feel about it?

Since my childhood, my mother taught me that dreaming of success without doing any hard-work is a wishful thinking. Hence it is worthwhile to engage in all pursuits with determination, dedication, devotion and discipline. If we constantly and consistently work towards our goal, no one can stop us from achieving great heights. I use to feel low whenever I sat to study as the subjects were tough. However one fine day, I decided to turn the tables around.

What you did?

I studied rigorously for 6 months straight before i sat for my exams and burned the midnight oil to pursue my dream. I used to make notes of each and every chapter which helped me to understand all the concepts thoroughly. I always used to revise the concepts again and again.

Why did that achievement make you proud?

Finally, on the day of our result I got to know that I passed my exams with flying colors. I acquired second position and scored 89 percent. I was on cloud nine and my joy was unbounded. My parents appreciated me and my school principal blessed me on stage for bringing the accolades and laurels for their school.So this is the success that I am proud of.
