This was his first rejection, which he could not handle. He made alcohol the companion of his sorrows. If he does not drink alcohol for some time, his hands start shaking. He struggled with depression for 6 years. He took the exam several times, but each time he reached the last stage and was rejected. He took this test 8 times, after being rejected each time, he found his cure – alcohol. After being rejected, he started drinking alcohol.
After getting rejected every time, he started to feel that his life’s purpose was gone. He has lost every fight including this exam. One day, after resorting to his intoxicants for about 6 years, his health took a turn for the worse. The doctor clearly said that his chances of survival are only 10%.
The only good thing that happened during all this was that he did not drop out. He was very good at studies from the beginning.
