After having gone through all of these options, students must remember the most important lesson that whatever choices they make, they should definitely make them wisely. However, they should at no point of time burden themselves with pressure that is most likely to harm them. People choose different paths in life to be successful and some paths take longer time than others but it does not mean that the path was wrong. Infact success in itself is a very subjective term. It holds different meaning for different people. The time that you spend in school while growing up, during working hard for whatever makes you feel good, happy and seems right to you, is the time when you fall multiple times and learn to rise above your mistakes.
