Summary
A few people know me because I am a common person. My family, relatives and friends claim that I am introvert, unsocial and less successful in comparison to my contemporary. Wagley (2013) claims that in more than 90 per cent of the cases, Nepalese education system adopts norm-referenced subjective examinations where the students are asked to write what they memorize from the textbook by restricting them to apply their creativity. As my parents were educated, they started giving extra effort towards my study after I reached the 9th grade. They prepared a study schedule for me. I rejected my parents advice and joined engineering college to study diploma in civil engineering At this stage, a person is highly influenced by friends. The patronage of the parents is must, because children with involved parents tend to earn academic excellence, have better social skills, are more likely to be socially competent, have better communication skills and likely go on to further education (Parentalrigths.org, 2014)
