Today, the CBSE declared the Class XII exam results.
Raksha Gopal topped the Boards with 99.6 percent marks. I heard some people say that she scored that high only because she studied Humanities. Some began to make fun of her choice of stream.
This is what irritates me the most about Indians. They demotivate students. I respect every stream. For me, all streams are equal. It saddens me to say that some Indians need to change their mindset. They need to learn and appreciate others.
I want to congratulate each and every student. Best of luck to each one of you. Always remember, your boards results do not define you. Keep learning and stay blessed. Follow your interest and chase your dreams.
