I wrote this book after seeing sincere students work hard while carrying expectations, self-doubt, and the quiet need to share their preparation journey with someone. This book is close to my heart because it carries the journeys, struggles, and hopes of the students I have mentored over the years. If this book helps even one student feel supported and steady during preparation, it has achieved its purpose. - Dr Seran Reddy
