During the time I was learning Computers during my graduation, I had learnt C and C++ languages. The result of graduation was not declared at that time . So my Computer Sir asked me to join an institute which was near my place. I had to be there as an in-charge and they were giving me around Rs 700 to Rs 1000 as a salary. I went there for a month. The boys who were coming there for classes had some grudges with the owner and as I  didn’t knew that, they were  going to ditch me. Once they asked the keys of the Institute. I was surprised to know when I came back the next day, they had deleted all the software there. Eventually the owner held me responsible for that which I had not done intentionally. My trust was broken on that day. Secondly my Computer teacher asked me to go to the city to teach C++ language there. I went there for 15 days or so. Once it was raining and I was late while coming back. My mom asked me to leave the job as it was very hectic .My students used to wait for me everyday. So I left that job also. After that, when I was free from my post graduation examinations, I decided to send my resume in all convent schools of the city. If there was any requirement, it will be followed up. After a week or so, I got a call from a girl’s school. I went there for the interview. Once I had interaction with the Principal, Ms Alpana, she send me to the HOD of Mathematics. Ms Renu, she is a nice lady. I was given a theorem of geometry to teach. As I was teaching the teacher who was seeing my demo, she put up some questions which I was not able to answer. Then same teacher told me how to answer the question and she gave me some tips also. I taught in the class and next day I was called to join. The first salary was five thousand rupees. I was happy that I was getting more that what I had expected. When I had given them a commitment that I would be joining them only, I had received two more interview calls. But as I had already promised so I did not look back.

I was given classes VIII, IX and X to teach. I was the class teacher of class X and the section was entirely mischievous. But it was the challenge for me which I had accepted. I was adjusted in this job. That job helped me so much that I won the trust of everyone. Even after two three years I was given standard XI also. Students used to say that I have a mastery in my subject. I was considered as one of the best teacher in my department. After my job, I got a number of tuitions from different schools. I was famous because of my students. I got a lot of recognition from there. I was there in the timetable and Examination committee also. My colleagues used to like me a lot. I made so many friends there. In each and every department, I had a friend. For the first time when I joined school, I was given the job of typing of question papers. But after the examinations were over, I was given classes to teach. There only I came to know that there is a lot of difference in teaching at home and at school, where you have to face a lot of students and their queries. As I was the only earning member in the family during that time, the money was not sufficient for all of us. On the 10th of every month salary was there in the account and within a week or so there was nothing left in my account. I had only one pair of slippers which I used to wear in the summers as well as in winters also. I was getting irritated…
