Giving Wings and Fighting the Odds

In past ten years a lot have changed but during our times when I was a girl, it was very difficult to even think of studying after school and complete graduation. I saw myself many of my friends got married in their early age before completing the education and entered into family life. In those times, it was very difficult to even think or ask parents directly and most of the times, our role was defined within the walls of the house. I always had a fear that if I would have the same fate as my other friends or would give a chance to at least completes my education. Then there were issues with my grandparents who always wanted me to get married as soon as possible and this decision was supported by my long distance relatives. It was very difficult at times to even study at homes because they would keep me busy in household chores and cooking stuff. Though I consider it equally important to perform the household chores but this was not the ultimate thing.

I had a dream to do fashion designing course and start my own boutique but it was not so easy for me. Then one day just when my father came back from office, I decided to take the bold step and see him and talk about my way of thinking and tell my wish of studying further to him. My father listened to me for more than an hour and took so many factors into consideration before finally giving me the green signal. I could see his expression as he would have to face everyone but I felt proud that my father became my strength and gave me support. All credit goes to him and I feel that was the day which is turning point of my life.
