Staying motivated during exams is a challenge, but I do some things to keep myself focused. When I study continuously and feel stressed, I take a break and listen to songs, especially English songs like Unstoppable and Believer. Sometimes I listen to bhajans, which also inspire me. At times I just think about my father and mother, how they sacrifice their dreams for me. I get motivated to work hard for my family so I can fulfill all their needs.

There are times when I compare my marks with my friends, and it motivates me to improve. Whenever I feel down, I talk to my mother. I am very close to her. She motivates me to study and also tells me how she did not get the opportunity to study. Once hearing about my mother’s struggles, I hid myself in the bathroom and I cried. That day I decided to work hard to achieve my dreams. I remind myself that I am capable and strong. I tell myself, I am confident, and I can do it! The key to staying motivated is believing in yourself. I know that with dedication and a positive thinking, I can overcome any obstacle and succeed in my exams.
