A Model, a role model at that...
From the South Asia pages of the Beeb a.k.a BBC.
A heart-warming story of Guriya Khatoon.
Five Years Studies done in Nine Months.
Some may fold in the face of a single strike. Not this girl. All of thirteen years young. Talk about perseverence and guts. She had three strikes against her - poverty - Bihar - gender. Pile up the fact that her family tried to hush her up behind a purdah because she is Muslim.
Yet, in her own words - "...you have to face all your challenges in life, but most of all get an education. Because without it, you can't change your life - or your world."

Good for her! She is, indeed, a role model. Gosh, she makes me feel like an underachiever.
