Mohd. Rashid
I am Mohd. Rashid a resident of Khichripur village (East Delhi). When I was in class III, I was forced to leave my studies due to illness of my father. My mother opened a shop for selling glass bangles. This was the sole means of livelihood for our family. After dropping out of school, I used to always remain at home and hence became very naughty. My mother was very upset and always kept worrying about me.
One day a survey was conducted by SSA in our locality and I came to know that all the children who had to discontinue their studies can have the opportunity to go to school again.
As a result I got admission in the special training centres being run in Govt. Co-Ed. SSS Khichripur. The environment at the special training centre was very conducive and pleasant for me. My teachers were very patient and helpful.
I was motivated by my PET sir and my teacher towards sports. Although our school has no playground, but PET sir used to take us to the nearby stadium for training.
I developed a great interest in Kho-Kho. I participated in the competition organized at the Zonal level and secured third position. Now, I have got a new direction in my life. I study very well, in addition to participating in various sports competitions.
I dream to excel in sports and to make my parents proud and bring laurels for my country. Presently I am a regular student of class VII in Govt. Co-Ed Sr. Secondary School Khichripur.
