Amita Prajapati's story of resilience is inspiring hearts across India. The young woman, who hails from a Delhi slum, defied the odds of becoming a chartered accountant. Ms Prajapati in a heartfelt post on LinkedIn, detailed her 10-year journey and her father's unwavering support despite their challenging circumstances living in a slum.
"It took 10 years. Every day, with dreams in my eyes, I would ask myself if this was just a dream or if it would ever come true. July 11, 2024, today, it became a reality. Yes, dreams do come true," she wrote.
"They used to say you can't afford to educate her so much by selling tea, save money and build a house instead. How long will you keep living on the streets with grown-up daughters? Anyway, one day they will leave as they are someone else's wealth, and you will have nothing left. Yes," of course,' I live in a slum (very few people know this), but now I am not ashamed," she added.
She concluded her post by thanking her parents for believing in her, "Whatever I am today is because of my Papa and Mummy who believed in me so much and never thought that one day I would leave them but instead thought that I would educate my daughters."
