Hello Peeps!!! This is Ramya tulasi here to share my journey from a 12th failed student to Youth Social Activist, a writer, and a Content creator/Freelance writer. Speaking from my heart I did not feel the zeal of life until I faced my first big failure in my 12th maths board exams. "Yes! You heard it right I failed my 12th maths board exams. That failure has given me an opportunity to look deep into my abilities and skills. " - That was the right time when I have taken a year-long break to access my self after 12th re exams. There started my life journey to a path of creating a change, addressing social issues through solutions & thinking in a way to create an impact through my writings. Though it was an idea in my mind after my under graduation in literal terms I started from starch firstly started by participating in online essay competitions and from there I have learned, unlearned, and relearned many things related to research and writing. It was difficult to learn all by myself but as I kept indulging more into writing I have got a good hand on it after I dedicated my day and night hard work and smart work into it. That one year of the break was a big challenge for me I was criticized, felt demotivated every day, felt I don't have a future, unlike normal kids, many people talking behind me that I am a failure in every family function I was part of all was very difficult to hear and hide my tears and feelings from my parents even. My parents were a big support for me at that time and even now.
But I had that will power to get up as strong as I can with my parent's support and face all my failures and mistakes with a smile while learning from my every mistake. In the mean, while I turned to be a youth social activist associating myself with national & international youth-led organizations & now I write on social dimensions of life and sustainable development goals as well and eventually further became a freelance content creator and researcher for a digital agency.

Overview Of The Story
There are some people who find it hard to overcome failure. As they come to a conclusion without making much assessment, judge their whole life on the basis of a single event of their life. And surely a single-phase must-have comes in the Ramya's Life. But she makes difference by overcoming that embarrassment of being failed in the 12th standard. And choose a life to give re-exam. Suicide is a common issue that we heard nowadays due to failure. We don't among them we lost our future gems. If Ramya also followed these steps then could we able to have such an inspiring social activist. So, VTV India personally advises our youth not to take a decision in pressure. Just hold your breath and look around people who are living in a worse condition than you. Other then this nothing can inspire you to the root cause.
Keeping this in mind she is looking forward to establish a Not for Profit Organisation. This project struck her mind recently when she lost her friend due to suicide which made Ramya think deeper, analyze the problem and solution as well. We didn't know how much pain she was going through all the while, maybe she wanted someone to share her thoughts or many be only listen to her without judging her were all the things that arose in her mind. So she came up with this pilot project which has a prime directive that is aimed at working with Sustainable Development Goal 3 i.e. Good Health and Wellbeing. This project aims to bring down the numbers of suicide cases(A way of suicide prevention) by engaging the youth in different social activities enabling them to visualize a better future for themselves through productive social engagements with different organizations.
I hope you have loved learning about such a young social activist who despite uncounted failures able to frame her identity among the people by standing out of the crowd and making a difference as a changemaker today.
