Roads of Determination: A Rickshaw Wala’s Journey
“Education is a fundamental right, not a privilege.”
If you are fortunate enough to have it, appreciate and express gratitude for the opportunity.
Rickshaw Wala(he started the conversation): ”I have been driving rickshaw for about 10 years now as it’s the only means I have to support my family.
Me: Wow, that’s a long time.
Rickshaw Wala: I have three sisters and my parents couldn’t afford to give me an education, so I’ve been working hard to make sure my sisters get the education they need.
Me: That’s really admirable. How do you manage to support your family and save for your sisters’ education?
Rickshaw Wala: I work hard every day. I start driving my rickshaw early in the morning and ride until 2 pm. After that, I work in a factory to make some extra money. I also buy books for my sisters whenever I can.
Me: That’s incredible. You must be very proud of yourself for being able to support your family like that.
Rickshaw Wala: Yes, I am. It’s not easy, but I know that education is important for my sisters’ future, and I’ll do whatever it takes to make sure they get it.
Me: You’re an inspiration to us all. Keep up the good work!
Rickshaw Wala: Thank you, I will. Have a nice day!
