A Girl who never gave up on her dreams, so her dreams never gave up on her too

It isn't easy to be a small-town girl in this big world. The cities always fascinated me, and something about them called me to come and live in a city. A girl from a small town in Himachal Pradesh, I was determined to get admission to a college in Delhi once I was done with my schooling.

My very influential classmates bullied me. They teased me for my accent, my dressing style, and the way I looked. The girls were mean and made my life hell. I dreaded going to college and wanted to go back to my parents. But doing so wasn't possible as my parents did so much to finance my studies and fulfill my dream.

I was helpless and hopeless. In a city where I had no friends and nobody I could call my own, I was all alone and trapped in the floods of negative thoughts. There was only one thing I could do: stop attending college.

"While I thought I was saving myself and my family from all the mental pain, I was making everything worst for all of us."

My first semester exams were approaching, and I wasn't prepared for them. I flunked in my first semester, and my bullies got another reason to bully and torture me. That's when I took a step back and reflected on my actions and how they affected my life. While I thought I was saving myself and my family from all the mental pain, I was making everything worst for all of us.

It took me around 2-3 days to understand what I had done and gain the courage to undo it. I finally decided to attend my college classes, but this time with courage and determination to face them all. After weeks, I returned to that class, and it gave me a vibe that I did not belong there. I shut all such negative thoughts in my mind and thought only about my parents.

A girl came towards me and asked me if I was okay. I said yes, and she told me how those people bullied her too. She was scared and emotional, just like I was, but now I was angry. Who gave them the right to make other people feel low? Are they worthy of being called superior if all they do is make other people feel inferior?

After lunch and we returned to class, I couldn't stop myself from shouting at them. In a very high tone, I shouted at them with anger and asked them if that is what they call manners and being superior, which includes bullying and harassing other people. Many others supported me, and the bullies were all alone and sidelined.

I became the hero of my class, and everyone applauded me for my courage. I completed my studies and graduated with good marks from college. Today, 5 years after the incident, I am shifting to Delhi with my family. Thepackersmovers.com executed our shifting, and looking at their services, I realized not everyone in the world is cruel. There are good people too, who genuinely want to help you.

I smiled while arranging my new home with all my parents brought from Himachal. I smiled, remembering when I wanted to run away from this city. If I had let my bullies win that day, I would not have been here today, making this city my permanent home, doing a reputed job, and giving my parents the life they deserve. I thank Thepackersmovers.com for safely bringing my parents' stuff from Himachal to Delhi. They were so scared of the shifting, but you handled everything intelligently.
