The exams are over._

_The results are out._
The celebrations are done and everyone is living happily ever after.
At least till the twelfth standard boards of course :)
When one looks back on it, this journey hasn't been an overnight one.

CBSE 10th Standard Board Examinations._
The first major large scale exam that most students of our nation prepare for. And the
preparation in itself is a long road.
So now that we're done and through with it, let's take a moment to remember
everything that happened till we went with our hall tickets, transparent pouches and
writing pads to the centres and gave our _boards_.

All the countless periods, lessons, extra classes and doubt sessions conducted by our
teachers made sure to load and save all the data and subject matter in our ever-
exhausted brains. All the handouts, support documents, practice sheets and notes
given to us helped us stay in sync and on track with our preparation and revision.

Then the workshops conducted by our school helped us wake up from any state of
slumber or doubt we were in and motivated us to do our best and forget the rest.

The self study and revision we did helped us emboss the unending formulae,
trigonometric identities, chemical reactions, biological terms, laws, dates, events and
even computer codes into our brains.

And after much anticipation and preparation, after putting our blood, sweat and tears
into it all, we wrote our exams and flew out of the centres full speed with flying colours.

_We did it._

Being the first batch of our school we had a lot of weight on our shoulders and a lot of
expectations riding above our heads.
But we did it.

Thanks to our Principal ma'am and her constant guidance, our dedicated Vice Principal
ma'am and the coordinators, our super efficient teachers and their efforts, our loving
parents and of course, our own hard work and sincerity.

Then being blessed with outstanding results made up the happy ending of our tenth
standard story.
I am very thankful to everyone at Podar for their unending efforts and amazing
guidance that helped me score 98%.
This has been a beautiful journey and I'm sure everyone will miss it as much as I do.

Proud to be a Podarite!~
