Hello Everyone,
I, Yash Rohit, am delighted to share with you that I have been selected Stenographer Grade D in CBIC department through SSC Stenographer 2018 examination. I want to thank my mentor Piyush Sir who taught me stenography, my grandmother who helped me to get the job and Rakesh Sir and Likho Steno Academy for the guidance related to exams and the dictations. Through the platform of Likho Steno Academy I want to share my success story with you.
Don’t have the Plan- B
I was born in born in Ahmedabad city as the
eldest child of my parents. My father is doing private job and my mother is
housewife. I have one sister and one brother. As we were born middle class
family, my father could not afford our education in English medium school. So I
had my school education in Gujarati medium. In school I was above average
student with distinction marks. After class X I decided to be an Engineer. I
took the course of Computer Engineer in Diploma but when I went to college I
came to know that the course will totally be in English. The sudden change of
the medium was a setback for me and I got failed in the initial years. I was
distressed by my performance because this was my first failure. I wanted to
quit engineering. But somehow my father managed to persuade me to complete
diploma. I agreed and I did so and got second class in Diploma.
Then, after completing Diploma I did
not want to study anymore. I decided to do job. I started job as a Desktop
Engineer in a Private Company. But, after the sour experience of engineering
all my interest in this field was wiped out. After 2 years of job I decided to
quit the job and do something that I like. I started my career in altogether
different field as Sales Executive in Vodafone Postpaid Department. I liked the
job and I was making good amount of money. After getting 4 years of experience
I started a venture with my 2 colleagues. I was very enthusiastic about the new
venture. But this sweet dream turned into nightmare. Within a year for a number
of reasons our venture was about to fail. We tried our best but all our efforts
went in vein. We shut down our venture. I decided to take break for some time
and think what to do next.
By
the time this was happening with me one day my sister came to me and told me
that she got the Government job in Gujarat Government. I was very happy and sad
at the same time because my sister was appearing in the exams for the last three
years and she got the job and I had wasted almost 7 years of my life doing
different things and failed in everything. But, she inspired me and I decided
that one day I will get the Government job, too. I started preparations in my
late 25s and I was little bit nervous what would happen if I fail in this too?
A big question mark was there. But, I had made up my mind that no matter what
happens if I had to do the job again then it should be the Government job. One
day, my sister suggested to me that I should pursue career in stenography as
she knew a little about it and she knew I could do it. I agreed with her and
started finding a coaching institute in my city.
Then,
I met with Piyush Sir who is my mentor also. He trained me well and cleared my
basics. But, as I continued classes I had no savings left. I sold my chain and
lucky in order to pay the fees. It gave me temporary relief but it was not sufficient.
But I loved stenography so much that I didn’t want to leave it in the mid way. Then
I told my grandmother that I want to continue steno classes and if she could help
me pay fees. She first scolded me why didn’t you come first to me and she happily
agreed to pay whatever my fees. Now, I had just one focus. I had appeared for
the SSC Stenographer 2018 prelims exam. I had finished basics by the result of
prelims exam. I had cleared the prelim and now I wanted to focus on skill test.
But, I knew one hour of offline coaching would not be sufficient to clear the
exam.
One
day when I was watching videos related to stenography on YouTube and I came to know
about Likho Steno Academy. I attended Rakesh Sir’s first dictation and at that
time I decided to follow his channel for further online guidance. His KC
dictations, President’s speeches, Prime Minister’s speeches were so helpful and
especially the fluctuations gave me confidence that I can pass any exam of
stenography.
Here,
I want to mention an incident regarding last minute preparations of skill test.
When I had left something about 15-20 days left in my skill test one bad thing
happened to me. Piyush Sir who was teaching me offline his wife had an
operation and thus he could not provide me dictations. And these were the
crucial days for me. I was worried. But
I had the privilege of online dictations of Likho Steno Academy and it gave me
confidence that no matter what I will make it to the exam.
When
I came out of the examination centre after taking exam I was confident that I
will clear the exam and the same has happened. I passed SSC Stenographer 2018
Grade D examination and got selected in CBIC department.
Excellent effort in those late days.Your preapration very crucial in that time of You sir struggled
