Mangalore, May 9: Ravikiran, who secured 548 marks in PUC examination by attending evening college and working during the day at a petrol bunk in Falnir, is the epitome of success through hard work.
Ravikiran, who hails from Harekala Pavoor, discontinued his education at Sri Ramakrishna School after his SSLC. Due to the poor economic condition of his family, he could not complete his higher education. So, he joined the petrol bunk. Although he discontinued his education, a year later he decided to go ahead with his studies at St Aloysius Evening PU College.
Proud of his hard work, Ravikiran says, “Anything can be achieved through hard work and confidence.” He has been working at the petrol bunk for the past three years from 9 am to 4:30 pm. At 5.00 pm, he would attend the evening college for his PU classes. Till 8.30 pm, he would be at the College striving to achieve his goals.
Ravikiran also said that he would not get time to study for his exams and hence, took one week’s leave to prepare for it. Usually, after class, when he returned home, it would be too late to study. But, his determination to reach his goal was firm.
He also dreams of completing his MBA in a similar manner by attending evening college. Let us wish Ravikiran all success.
