My personal essay by Anirudh.Menon



My exams are coming up,and I’m so frustrated,I don’t even know what to
study first.So I had come up with a solution which is : I’m the kind of
person who likes to be calm with my problems when, I am agitated , when
I am in a tight situation and, when I am stuck in a situation.
Today was one of the worst days of my life. I was a nervous wreck
because, I was on my desk, with a maths problem, stuck! In fact, I was so
agitated I couldn’t even add 14 and 12. I tossed my head back and
groaned. I was going anywhere anytime soon. I couldn’t think straight! I
struggled to think or remember anything that could help me finish my
work…. Then it struck me! I sat erect and took a few deep breaths and
calmed my thoughts.I soon realized that I could do my calculations easily.
I just needed to calm down, and I finished m equation in less than a
minute. However that was only one problem and I had 34 more to go! I
tried the same trick, and then, these equations became evermore easy. It
all just clicked, it all just made sense. And before I knew it ,I was
summiting my work.

The thought of math ran a chill up my spine. I had been terrified of my own
teacher! Her ominous glare frightened me. Also her large voice and the
senseless ruckus caused by all the other kids made it hard for me to
concentrate. And there I was trying to figure out this math problem in my
chaotic classroom. “This is so hard !” ,I exclaimed.I groaned in confusion,
I could have almost turned over the whole table in frustration! It was so
hard for me to control my anger, my fist rose and smashed against the
table as if it had a mind of its own. By now I could hardly tell which was
my right hand and which was my left. Soon, this simple problem turned as
hard as finding out if a zebra is black with white stripes or white with black
stripes.
I calmed down and I was able to finish all my work soon.I rejoiced with a
‘yes.’ I had finished my work.

AAAH! It was close to the 2014 December vacation and I had tons of
English homework to finish plus I had to pack up my bag for the
vacation.Thats not all, all my english homework was due the next day.I
needed to do all that work In that day! Just 3 words ran through my head;I
WAS DOOMED!!!!!
I scampered around my house in worry not even thinking that the more I
did that the more I was delayed. I soon realized that and set off on my
work. I was confused at first but soon I did it. Although I was going very
slow, at that rate I wouldn’t even be able to finish half my work before
sleep time. What was I going to do! I gave up all other thoughts and sat
still for a moment. I did my work and at much faster speed than before. I
focused and I completed all my work in 30 minutes flat. all though I had to
pack everything. i realized that now that I calmed down and finish my
homework I had lots of time, and soon I completed all my packing.

This is why I like being
calm with my problems
