The Star..

We have so many luminary figures who we admire and respect with all our might...They are there everywhere: on television, in newspapers, billboards and magazines. We look upto them for so many different reasons:someone is a great singer who soothes our senses when we are down,someone is a great actor who makes us go gaga over the way he/she looks/dresses/acts...whatever!!!Then there is someone who is a great Samaritan- doing things to make the lives of people a better haven to live...There are many people who have inspired me as well but sadly they are not "public figures" and there are very few people who know about them. However, they have made me ponder over the courage that they possess.Here,i will be talking about this girl named Asmita who has taken me by surprise by her perseverance.I know her through a local club.Very recently,she had to face a tragedy: her father passed away of a heart attack.She, at present,is studying in Class 12. However, she refuses to give up and has already made plans on how will she help her family come out of the loss. She is extremely interested in journalism and she has already taken up some courses to hone her skills.Her father was into journalism as well and she is all set to continue the legacy.She is the eldest daughter and the way she has handled the entire situation is admirable.At her age, i had nothing to worry about and had taken life for granted but when i look at her,i keep wondering:where does she get that courage from?She is a true star for me...

its touching !! they say life is the greatest teacher,i completely agree. but of course it depends upon you how courageously you choose to learn and move on. Asmita is an epitome of this courage. She has a long way to go...removing the obstacles off her way and showing a direction to others. Kudos to the teenaged girl !!
