I Played Chess

I had scored 96.4% in Class 12 examination conducted by MPBSE and was the state topper in the commerce stream. My father is a peon and my mother is a housewife.

I chose commerce stream as it offers a much wider scope. I studied for six hours every day. I am not on social media. To relieve stress, I used to listen to music, play chess and chat with my friends. .

Talked To Teachers, Friends

My father is a farmer and my mother is a housewife. I belong to Rajgarh district but have been living in Bhopal for past three years. I had decided to become a CA when I was in Class 10.

I studied for about six months, devoting about four hours every day to studies. I had scored 93% in Class 12. Even if I am unable to become a CA, there is enough scope. As for social media, I was only on WhatsApp. When felt stressed, I used to talk to my teachers and friends.
