And..
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
I was constantly staring into the ground
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

“All of these students are great from an academic point of view. They have always scored 90%+ during their school days, some have even scored 9.6 CGPA and above during their 10th boards.”
