Being the offspring of a farmer, I have been raised under a family with full of strength and willpower. My father always used to taught me about the importance of each and every resource which doesn't come easily. I feel how he is standing up when there are very tough situations like floods, soil degradation in agriculture which leads to economic struggles. I take him as inspiration for my journey in education to stand up and study whatever the financial barriers we may have, but still wanted to cross and move forward to overcome them. With limited financial resources, I had to completely depend on the scholarships first to continue my education. The scholarship which I got from Jagananna Vidhya Deevena by the State Government of Andhra Pradesh has been very helpful for my education and it decreased burden on my family. This scholarship made me so confident to pursue my academic aspirations without any constant worry of my educational expenses. Besides the scholarship, I also worked part-time in tutoring to fund some of my educational expenses and as well as to help my parents. I dedicated 21 hours per week in tutoring classes, where in the beginning it was very challenging for me to balance studies and work, but it taught me the value of time management which can help in the future. Additionally, I have also taken some student loans whenever the expenses aren't enough to the level of education I'm going through. These loans helped to enter into the higher education level where I can achieve my dreams but, I'm also mindful about my responsibility that comes with this debt. Notwithstanding the financial challenges, I always believe that "The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet". So whatever the circumstances may appear I have never stopped my process in my academic journey. So that I can create a better future for myself and also for my parents who are the backbone of my life. Studying at Andhra University proved to be a transformative experience for me. The diverse academic environment, dedicated faculty and supportive peers fostered a conducive learning atmosphere. So I seized every opportunity to immerse myself in my studies, extracurricular activities and research projects. Through hardwork, perseverance and determination, I not only excelled academically but also developed essential life skills such as adaptability, resilience and problem solving. My experience at Andhra University taught me to embrace challenges as opportunities for growth, to preserve in the face of adversity and to remain resilient in pursuit of my goals. Ultimately, while failing to qualify for IIT initially seemed like a setback, it paved the way for a journey filled with valuable lessons, personal growth and newfound opportunities. It taught me that success is not defined by the name of the institution but by one's ability to overcome obstacles and to thrive in any environment. To wrap up, my academic journey has been marked by endurance. The support which I got from scholarships, part-time work, and student loans helped me to overcome most of the financial barriers through out my journey. I am ever grateful for the support I've got from this organizations, and I will definitely make use of it in implementing my carrier.
