    Q. How did your family support you in this endeavour?

    They always had my back. I always went to my father for practical guidance. Especially whenever I got low scores in the practice tests. My mother has been my emotional backbone throughout the journey.

    While there was pressure at times, I turned it into motivation. I remained focused on my goal and maintained my confidence.
