Studying journey is not as easy as some people think. In my experience there were different challenging situation that may even result in abscondment from the school. But good news is that I managed to overcome everything and continue succeeding. I was good in science since day one joining the primary studies, I always find myself performing well in mathematics and social studies along the lower primary journey. As I grew up and advancing in higher educational levels I continued having the outstanding performance till now.
