The school administration was unhappy with his performance and expelled him from the school. Not only this, he was not even given admission in class 11th. This was a big shock for him. But this shock did not break him, but made him stronger from within.

Akash did not give up. He promised himself that now he would give a new direction to his life. He took admission in Kendriya Vidyalaya and started concentrating fully on studies. The effect of hard work was visible soon. He secured 85 percent marks in class 12th. The boy who was once thrown out of school due to low marks was now moving ahead with good marks.
