There is a small shop on the platform in front of the house which is run by the family members together. I had a dream to do something big, so while doing all the work, I also studied with full heart and dedication. I have secured 482 marks out of 500 i.e., 96.40 per cent in the Intermediate examination. My dream is to serve the country by becoming an IAS.”
