Did you ever have a turning point in your life?
In our lives sometimes some incident happens or we start learning something new or we get a novel idea or anything of that nature which changes our lives - a turning point. When I was studying in class IX then I was very weak in English like many other students in my class. The reason was that at that time we did not have English as a subject till we passed class V. This may look unbelievable today but it was like that in those remote schools at that point of time.My father was in a government job and knew good English as he had to work in English but he did not have time to coach me. I was feeling much uncomfortable with my poor English as everywhere in the society we found that English speaking was a thing that everyone looked with respect and praise.
One day my father told me that if I had a strong will and ready to work hard then learning English was not a difficult thing. He brought one grammar book and one dictionary for me and told me to go through them. In the beginning I was not getting much out of those two fat books but slowly I started to build up a vocabulary and understanding the small sentences that became the ground for my English learning and then I never looked back.
That was a turning point in my life which gave me a lot of confidence and feeling that I could learn English if I was serious about it.
Have you got any such experience of some incident or such thing which became a turning point in your life? Please share your memories.
