Grade 11Discuss with colleagues and IITians

I am in class11 preparing for iit 2018 . Actually what i want to tell you is that i have joined a coaching in my city. But i jave the habit of working hard so i am concious about my self study but my cousin who is also in 11 preparing for the same target as mine (iitb) has joined allen kota . I also got one offer from my parents but seeing the overall conditions of kota i thought to focus more on self studies rather than coaching material and faculties. But now as my cousin has been settled successfully i know that he has a great competition with me as he did not want to lag behind me in any case .he thought in a way that if i get in iit and if he will not then what he will do . But now seeing his conditions i am also facing this stress that i have to get iitb in any case and i will prepare for oit but how to remove this feeling of lagging behind or i must say competition. Really need a help please suggest how to remove it.

Dear student
This kind of relative-cousin pressure is common.Since you are more conscious on your self-study then, I would say that you are going on right track.You need guidance from yyour teachers and since you said that you have joined coaching in yor city then, I am expecting that the coaching and the faculties would be good over there, if not kindly change it as there is no point of wasting time and money on it otherwise.
Carry on with you self study, be confident enough and never leave hard work.Ask doubts from teachers though the ones of your school or your coaching.In fact involve your cousin, ask him “do you know how to solve this” in a challenging mode so that he will involve in your doubt-solving activity.
