Pooja Raj Purohit

This story is about my friend, Pooja. The day she was born, her family was not much happy with her birth as they were expecting and willing to have a boy and was not ready to accept a girl child. Even her mother was not ready to support or to raise her.

Somehow, they did raise her and when it came to her schooling they sent her to a government school as they didn’t want to spend much on her education, and thought there is no point in educating her.

However, after completing her schooling in 2014, she decided to pursue BSTC (Basic School Teaching Certificate) to become independent and support her family. She could not qualify her exam in first attempt in 2014, yet she did not give up and reappeared for that exam again in 2015 and this time she cleared it.

She got a college allotment in Udaipur, but her family was not ready to send her far from home and her family was not even well to do financially so they could not meet the expenses of city.

Fortunately, she got a college transfer near her village itself, and that was a happy moment for her as well as her family. Today, despite all odds in life she proved herself and she also qualified REET and has joined as a government teacher in Feb 2019.

For me she is strong and #Sheisudaipur
