I will cherish my silver medal in 1997 Commonwealth Shooting Championships…

The most memorable of my sporting career that I will cherish throughout my life is the one when I won silver medal in 1997 Commonwealth Shooting Championships. I was in Class 12th at that time and was too young. It was unbelievable experience as everyone, including my team members, coaches and support staff was congratulating me. When I came back to India I realized that it was a great achievement. I was only the lady to get the medal in Commonwealth Championship in 1997. I will always cherish it as I had worked hard for the event and I feel extremely happy when my hard work pays off. I believe success is always proportional to your to hard work and perseverance.
