It's not about what's an outside, it's about what's an inside!

You are excited when your college life begins, because it is that stage when your observe a big change in life after school life. Everything is new for you including teachers and that one teacher whom you can never forget.

We were all afraid of this teacher as he was strict and rude, much like his subject "Math."

I clearly remember that day when the whole class was so quiet and everyone was confused in word problems but it was me who dared to ask a question from him. On asking a question he scolded me, and suggested me to improve my English rather than asking about math problems. After that day, he used to point me in every class.

One day when I was absent so didn't do home work I just copied my friend's home work. Unfortunately, I was sitting on the first seat when the teacher came to check my home work.

He muttered all of the attempts are wrong.

I was the best student of maths in school, but this time I failed as I didn't know how to solve these problems. If I were not absent that day, maybe I would have escaped the teacher's wrath. He scolded me very badly and started to call me "loser". I buttoned my lips and listened to him without justifying myself. Only the tears came out of my eyes when he said me "Loser."

He told me that I would never achieve anything in my life. When the class was over I cried my heart out. I cried out and burst into tears, but I was convinced that I was not worthless person because no one on this planet is doomed from the start.

Within a month, it was his birthday, and our class decided to suprise him with an unexpected gift celebration.

My friends encouraged me to draw the teacher's sketch as they all knew that my drawing skills was brilliant. As they continuously insisted me so finally I agreed to make my teacher's portrait. I made the portrait and gifted him on his birthday.

The moment I handed the picture to the teacher, he was, his eyes widened as he was completely taken aback. He hesitantly asked, "Did you make it"? I replied yes. But he did not seem convinced and repeated the same question. He was still deeply skeptical.

Finally, he extended his heart to pay respect towards me. He said that in case if you have made then I will give you pictures of my children and will you be able to portray them too?

Actually, he was testing me on whether I should portray the picture of his children too or not. It was unbelievable to him. I answered him ye, and after a few days, I brought the portrait of his children.

He started to call me an artist and appreciated me with his whole heart. His point of view about me was totally changed, and now he used to say that I have got a bright future and art is a gift from God to me . He also introduced me to his sister, who told me alot about art.

According to me, the worst situation is when life puts you in a circumstance where you can't prove yourself right even though you are not wrong.

If someone judges you on on how they see you, believe me, it doesn't matter.

What matters is how you see yourself. This bravery towards you will prove them one day they were wrong about you.

Every person may not be brilliant, but there is brilliance in every person. Every person may not be genius, but there is smartness in every person. Find out what makes you special. Hone what? It makes you shine.!
