Even though I wanted to study in the last two days, I advised myself to relax and reminded myself that if due to panic, I forget everything in the last three days, I am not going to be a doctor. I played football to unwind. On May 5, I took the NEET exam with the mindset that any marks I get will be by God's effortlessness."
