It was the time of survival. The world was trying to save the people from the biggest monster, but all the people were afraid and stayed at home to save themselves. Yes, I am talking about the period of the biggest pandemic of a new technological era in 2020 "COVID-19" As like others, I was staying at home because of the lockdown. Keep updating myself with news but was bored, so I was trying to entertain myself. I usually watch Guinness World Records videos on Facebook and YouTube, I found because of the lockdown, the Guinness World Records made an episode for breaking records at home. I found one of the records called most coins stacked into a tower in One Minute. I felt I could try, I tried to collect coins, and my husband helped me to collect coins as he is a banker, so his office was open during the lockdown, and he knows a lot of people, so he managed the coins for me. I started to practice, and after stacking 35/40 coins, I felt like it was not possible but I reminded myself the current record holder is also a man, so if he could, why wouldn't I? Since then, I practiced for 6-7 months consistently. I set to break the record on 24th September 2021. After waiting for 3 months, I suddenly found an email that showed that my record was approved and successful, and I was the current record holder. Believe me, I could not believe my eyes! I cried because of happiness! I called my husband, he immediately moved home, we were excited. We were waiting to get the certificate, and after 1 month, the Guinness World Record delivered the certificate. I informed my parents and shared it on my social media, the media published it. I became the known face. As a woman, I feel proud of myself because here in my country, it is rare for women to break a Guinness world record. I believe women can do anything if they get the environment, support from the family, and have strong willpower. But I would emphasize the environment because before my marriage, I did not have the environment to explore myself or do anything independently, so I could not do anything except have an education. After my marriage, I got the environment and support from my partner that made me a Guinness World Record Holder. Oh, I broke two Guinness World Records. This is the story of my 1st Guinness world record. I will share the story of my 2nd world record, how I was bullied by some of my known people, and also faced bullying on social media. I will share how I have been continuing my journey after all the obstacles. The story will be continued. Through my story, I would request the world, give the women the environment, give support, and let them think independently, they will conquer the world.
