subjects along with Maths and English, when he further enrolled for
the Secondary Course. He found that the books were self-explanatory
and prepared in a simple language. Although there were frequent
interruptions due to internal bleeding, Jithin studied on his own
imagining that books were his teachers. At the age of nineteen, he
passed his secondary exams in 2003 with 72% marks. He further
enrolled for the NIOS Senior Secondary Course and passed in 2005
with 81% marks. By that time, this aspiring student became
ambitions and decided to register for a course in Chartered
Accountancy. Although he missed the first few attempts due to
severe bleeding, he managed to clear the CA Inter exams with 41st
rank at the All India level. What a level of determination! Jithin
Jose who viewed studying on his own as a limitation realized that
