"there was never a doubt in my mind that you would get through it. I know you are going to ace the next round and get in! And i know you will do a good job so that you can have a choice of where to study! I always knew it and believed it. You will do it ma! I know it!!" said A. Her statements after i told her for the nth time that i had cleared the first hurdle of my entrance exam!
It didn't hit me till much later that they way she said it, with the total honest and unwavering straightforwardness made me realize that i can and i will!! The simplicity of her words coupled with her blind trust in what she said helped make me stronger. I believe that i needed to hear those words, those exact same words from someone who couldn't even think anything other than that is even possible made me believe it too!
Not to say that all of my friends didn't believe it, or for that matter said it..........but what she said, the way she said, when she said it, how she said it all made a big difference! Everyone was happy for my absolute joy, but A's acknowledgement of the success at the same time, looking into the future and still having the faith in me to know that it will all turn out for the best helped my nerves! No wonder i call her "my common sense"!
