I still remember the last day of school. I was attending the school farewell party. The juniors were hosting it and we the passing out batch were the guests . The song being played out in the background was "Papa Kehte hain bada naam karega"
The
lyrics go something like this
Papa
kehte hain bada naam karega
Beta
hamara aisa kaam karega
Magar
yeh to koi na jaane
Ki
meri manzil hai kahan
Papa
kehte hain bada naam karega
Beta
hamara aisa kaam karega
Magar
yeh to koi na jaane
Ki
meri manzil hai kahan
Which
translates to
The
song captures the hope that every person has about his life specially
when he or she passes out of school or college. It also underlines
the uncertainty that life has in store for us.
However
I was quite sure about my future that I wanted to go abroad and study
at a good reputed university.
This
meant that I would have to apply to a number of Universities and then
based on the ones that grant me an admission make a move.
I
was a fairly good student and science was my chosen field of study. I
wanted to do a B.Tech in computer science.
My
only drawback was that English was not my strong point. So I
discussed this problem of mine with one of my teachers.
She
suggested that since I had set my goal to go and study abroad thus I
should consider taking an English language certification. This would
not only help me polish my English skills but also boost my
confidence.
I
researched my options and found PTE Academic to be the best English
certification around.

Next
the question was how to prepare for the test. Here again the PTE
Academic website came in handy one can check here PTE

Armed
with this new knowledge I started the preparation for the test and
found that there is extensive material that can be used for getting
ready for the test.

Next
came the step of taking the actual test.

is a test that that you take sitting in front of a computer at the

PTE
Academic lets you send your score to unlimited institutions without
any additional fee. This helped me apply to a large number of
universities and colleges withing my stipulated budget.
Once
I had my English language scores with me it was only a matter of time
that I got admission to a college of my choice. Now the question was
getting a scholarship.
For
this I had to appear in a live interview. Having taken the English
Test had already made me confident and the English preparation had
made me a fluent English speaker and I could easily articulate my
thoughts.
Getting
a scholarship can be tough so in the final round I told the
interviewer that I am a go getter and before applying for this course
I had poor command over the English language and now I was conversing
with them in English. I shared my good scores in my PTE Academic
English Test and the interviewer was impressed and I got the
scholarship.
Thanks
to PTE Academic I got my dreams fulfilled.
