When I was ten years old, I had a good fever. That fever went
on increasing. Upon examination, it was found that it was the
onset of leukemia. That moment the whole family collapsed.
But when it was discovered early on, it was possible to cure
it properly. I have also gone through such a life experience.
Now I feel like I am on a journey to complete a God-assigned
task for me. God does not create anyone to eat and sleep.
Everyone has to do something of their own.
- Says Stephen.
”At the age of 11, he started playing piano and as he was growing up, he was also developing himself in music systematically. Later he completed his 8 Grade in Solo Piano from “TRINITY COLLEGE LONDON” with a record Score.
As
he was on the way of music, he realized that teaching was not the goal of his
life. So he pretty much stopped going to college and lost his pre-degree all of
the sudden. But his Family was sad about his decision.
But it was a gateway for him for his passion/dream.
