Man Fails High School 38 Times
A 73-year-old Indian farmer who vowed not to marry before passing his high school exams has failed to get through for the 38th time.
Shiv Charan Yadav has been taking the exams — normally given to schoolchildren at the age of 15 — every year since 1969, without success.
He was in his 30s when he first decided to better himself through education.
This year, he failed everything except Sanskrit, scoring only 103 out of a possible 600 points.
He said he found mathematics especially hard, blaming the subject for dragging down his score.
“Once I pass I want to get married to a girl who’s under 30,” Yadav, who lives alone in Kohari village in the western desert state of Rajasthan, told Reuters.
He is now revising for his 39th attempt next year.
And I thought failing math this year and attending summer school for it would be the end of my life. This man obviously has it worse than me and hopefully he passes it in his 39th attempt :p.
i’ll pray for you mister!! go for it! ^_^ im definitely sure you’ll get it!
Oh, I hope he gets it, I feel very bad for him. Hope some nice woman comes to him nontheless so he won’t feel lonely.
you’ll pass don’t worry.
RE: you’ll pass don’t worry.
Dude can’t even read Sanskrit never mind English, and he’s nowhere near here.
Me hungee. Om nom nom nom
