Undaunted Willpower
Dreams come True
Dreams come True
She is an independent woman now. She can do
whatever she likes. She can live her life freely. In her school days she was
praised by her teachers for her knowledge and intellectual power. She had
dreams, dreams untold, and dreams to do something big for the society and for
her family. But one day the social customs and tradition dragged her to the end
of her dreams. The heart breaking news came when she was only 12 years old “you
need not go to school, your marriage is fixed. The only thing you should learn
is household works." She knew her dreams are shattering like broken pieces
of glass and she is unable to fix them. She remained a strong girl from the
beginning but this disturbing news restrained all her will power and started to
make her weak. Gradually the date of her marriage came closer. She felt totally
helpless. Nobody was there to help her. She was unable to take any proper
decision. At last the cursed day of her life appeared, it puzzled her enough
and she was left out of choice. She left home because she was determined not to
end her dreams like this. Then she went to her teacher to seek help. Her
teacher took an initiative and brought a great change in her life. She was
finally able to stop her marriage.
Now she is a teacher of a primary government school. As her parents were
unable to meet her study expenses, she had to earn by herself. Her teachers
helped her a lot. She had undergone an extreme financial crisis which she
doesn't want anybody else to suffer the way she did. She received a lot of help
which made her to stand and she wants to spread the same help she got, to
others as well. She started giving free tuition to poor
kids. She motivates them and helps them who are about to give up their
dreams due to utter poverty. She supplies books, pens, copies, and study
materials free of cost according to her ability.
Those parents who are planning for their
daughters’ marriage during underage she always makes them aware about the
importance of education. She inspires them by saying her own story. She says
that a girl is not a burden. She says that girls can be a helping hand to their
parents. Thus, she has succeeded to save many lives. Now some of them are well
established in their respective fields.
She said that if the social prejudices are
broken, girls can have a golden future. We are all aware of the fact that in
this 21st century
girls have their own existence. In this changing society, girls are not
only equal to boys but also in some sphere of life girls can go ahead of boys.
Girls are now able to take up any job which was previously assigned to males
only. They are now free and independent .They can live their life alone.
She
said that there are still so many girls, sacrificing their dreams. Prejudices,
poverty and social customs are swallowing them intellectually and eating their
will power. I can save very few among them. A great change in mentality of the
society is necessary to secure them all.
"As
she is not only a woman but a mother to a child, a wife to a husband, a friend to a sister...
When she can play so many roles, why to leave her uneducated?"
