I am in class 7. When I went to school I found studying a little bit tough. The teacher would keep telling me to do my work but I didn’t understand, especially in math.
My life was limited to a strict routine of school and home, with no freedom to explore beyond that. I was burdened with household chores and experienced unequal treatment simply because I was a girl. In my family, girls were not allowed to speak up or make decisions.
I come from a financially struggling family, and my life has been filled with challenges from a young age. In 2021, after losing my mother, I became the primary caregiver for my infant sibling.
I got married at a young age. I never thought I would be able to continue my education beyond the 12th standard due to a lack of support from my family and in-laws.
When I was young, my father passed away, and my mother was pregnant. So our financial situation was never good. I never knew when I would have to stop studying.
I once thought my education was over after completing my 12th grade. My family was against me studying further but with the help of Vikalp, I constantly had to negotiate with them.
