Fear - one of the nine emotions has always played a prominent role in our lives. It was sometime in the year 1992. My Grade X academic session has just begun and the entire year’s school fee which is eight hundred rupees was to be paid in two equal parts. The due date to pay the first term fee got over and my father could not pay the fee. Post the due date everyday I had to sit in the classroom with the fear of my name being removed from the attendance register anytime. My father wrote an application to the Principal asking for some more time to pay the fee. Principal gave me relaxation for a week but every passing day added to my anxiety. Every night I used to eagerly wait for my father’s arrival waiting to hear that he got the amount for my fee. No response from him used to multiply my anxiety and raised a question on my determination and will to study. I don’t remember who those benefactors are who stood behind me to complete my X, but I am indebted to them throughout my life. I may be a doctorate today but still cannot forget the fear experienced every minute.

Today both as a teacher and as an individual, I do take initiative to see that anyone who wishes to study should not undergo the turmoil which I had due to lack of financial assistance and wish that education helps individuals to overcome the fear of failure as long as they have strong will power and determination.
