I am the eldest child in my family. I have two brothers and two sisters. As I am the eldest, I have to do all the household chores and look after my siblings before my studies. Therefore I do not have enough time for my studies. I was studying in 7th standard at GHSS Naginimora. There were not enough activities in school and I was unable to speak English properly also. I was an introvert and it was very difficult to communicate with people around me.
I got myself enrolled in KGBV hostel in Naginimora. The hostel is providing free lodging and free food. Apart from that I have learned to adjust with people around me and my English has also improved. I get privileges to conduct services in the hostel, to sing, give speech and pray during worship hours also. I also discovered some talents such as painting, writing and dancing. I have learned the importance of physical fitness through various types of sports that we play during sports week.
Through all these activities and constant support from my wardens, today I can proudly say that I am no more an introvert girl from my village but a self confident girl who can communicate with others confidently.
