My High School Years
Chapter 1
Season 1 (Year 1994)
My board exams of 1994 are done and the results are out. My overall score is 98%, as a result of the hard work all the year round. I was qualified enough to study and pursue my career with science. I quickly took up science as my mainstream subject and of course, except Mathematics, I like to study about Physics, Chemistry and Biology.

Our 11th Standard was the first year of our high school, that is Metropolitan High. We loved to go to school in spite of the friendship and rivalries. My years were passing smoothly and steadily, until I was yet to be prepared for another big setback.
