Q5. Describe an incident in your life that has motivated/inspired you to do better
When i was in class 8th , i worked very hard throughout the year and i was expecting some rank in class so the i would be able to get prize on annual day in front of my parents, but that year despite that i couldn't get in top 3 and finished 4th. That thing made me very sad but also motivated to do much better and i continued working hard in class 9th and became overall academic topper of the school which was one of the high moment for me in life. so i think i realized that if something doesn't go well despite your best efforts then there must be something better written for us.
