[{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1572877695257","data":"A few days ago, I came across the news of a student from IIT Hyderabad committing suicide. That got me thinking about a lot of things that I experienced in my own life. <\/p>For instance, in my own case, because I was a topper of my school having secured 100 in math and 99 in science in my 10th, a reputed corporate junior college approached me with a free IIT coaching and my parents were elated. I loved speaking, I loved oratory but I didn't even know the existence of something called mass communication or CLAT or any other course that would have fit my interest more. It was just engineering that I knew and it was just MPC that I had to choose to get into IIT. My merit, ironically, was my bane. Also during that time, some of my friends went to Kota, the mecca of IIT coaching and there, they toiled hard for two rigorous years and in that time, they told me various stories of students committing or attempting suicides.<\/p>Eventually I did not get into IIT and I was dejected about it but thankfully, the universe seemed to have other ideas for me and pushed me up the path of entrepreneurship. Throughout my college life, I took part in activities that made me hone my public-speaking skills to the point that I was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stumagz.com\/in\/make-winning-a-habit\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">winning competitions<\/a> while competing against students from premier institutions.<\/p>We keep hearing many stories of students committing suicide because of failing to crack the IIT entrance test but the fact that suicides happen even in IITs says something about the system that we have in place that only puts emphasis on making a student study and do what the society deems as fit for the person instead of letting the person do what they want to. As to when the ones in-charge will put on their thinking caps and figure out a system where lives and potential leaders are not lost at an age when they're supposed to be nurtured is a mystery to me.<\/p>In fact, that is why I started stuMagz, to ensure students have a platform to do what they want to irrespective of what they're pursuing in college. <\/p>While giving a equalizing platform for students in the form of stuMagz, I feel we might need a platform for parents to understand students and their wishes. A platform that connects every student and their parents where each can talk and share their perceptions and wishes in a healthy manner. Talents are showcased to the entire world. It'll make a world of difference if they can showcase it to their parents too. <\/p>To Read More Inspiring Stories (or) to share your story.Download our App Now: <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/stumagzappone\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/stumagzappone <\/a><\/p>"}]
