Social distancing :)))))

I think you did a good job taking on "tipping point"

Great read Mayank, I enjoyed seeing your take on the challenge. The pandemic was a weird time, some came out of it better than others, everyone came out different.

Nobody escaped change in some form.

You said that the tipping point was a transition, rather than a point. But you still got that spark, the one that lead to the revelation, so something did change and that's the main thing.

You wouldn't be where you are without it, you'd be a different person.

So maybe the pandemic was the point, the exams, the school cheating you out of your grade, all of the things that lead to when that revelation took place, and made you better for it.

Thanks for writing Mayank

I just had instant flashbacks when you talked about online classes 😂 I thought it would be convenient too—it definitely was to some extent especially in terms of transportation (My school is in another city and it usually takes me anywhere between 1-3 hours of commute depending on the traffic 🥲)

But like you mentioned, it had a lot of challenges.. It was hard to focus, almost everyone would just cheat on quizzes, it was hard to find school-life balance, and in my case, it was weird because I started college completely online and it wasn't until our junior year that I met my classmates face-to-face lol 😂 I'm just proud that we survived all that—it's really one for the books 😂

Seems you could prepare for an entire test in the commute 😉. It was fun.
