संक्षेप में उत्तर

उत्तर

He suffered from Polio and found it quite difficult to get from his house to his college. Sumit was already the target of taunts from classmates because of his disability, and he was concerned about how others might respond if he attended college. So he doesn't want to continue school. He left the school. He had gone into depression. He had a deep desire to pursue education and become a significant individual who changes society for the better. Unfortunately, he had begun to feel uneasy because of everyone's constant stare. Fortunately, he finds hope in his parents hope. His parents always encouraged him to pursue his goals and never let his impairment prevent them from taking care of him. So, He continues his life.

Even the math instructor from his school would frequently stop by and compliment Sumit on being the greatest student in the class. He advised him to stop worrying about other people at this time. If Sumit kept up his diligence, people would respect him naturally and eventually be proud to be associated with him. This gave Sumit the motivation to continue his studies. He struggled mightily to get to his college each day and put it his all. His commitment and his mathematical prowess astounded his classmates. Sumit accomplished tremendous things, developed into one of the most well-liked college students, and collaborated with some of the brightest minds on the planet to solve challenging Mathematical equations, just as the teacher had foreseen.
