The importance of education cannot with explained with a better example than Jebin Kousar – a girl who knocked down a disability with so much grace.
Jebin was born to an auto-rickshaw driver and a homemaker, in Assam. She was born without both hands, but she did not let that deter her. She never let her disability nor her poverty take over her potential.
She learned to use her feet to write and aced her Matriculation exam under the Assam Board of Secondary Education and also scored the First Division along with 11 others from her school. The school had not seen such success in over seventeen years and is quite overwhelmed with such determined effort.
This girl here never let her disability nor her poverty take over her potential.
Jebin now wants to become a school teacher and has enrolled at the Mariam Ajmal College in Hojai, Assam. She plans to take up the Humanities stream. However, her mother fears for the challenges that lie before the family. For starters, the family survives on a meagre income of Rs 5,000 per month, and with her father suffering from certain ailments, it is the Murajhar Guidance Junior Trust which will fund her education till Class 12.
This example of Jebin’s life is more than enough to make one understand the mental strength is equally important.
