Sonali strives to excel

Sonali (2)
Sonali is a shy young girl studying in the fifth grade. She is one of the brightest girls in her class. She loves Math because she finds it challenging. For Sonali, there is no better feeling in the world than getting the correct answers in Math!

She lives in a nuclear family. Her uncle is a police officer who Sonali greatly admires. Seeing his dedication to the country, she is determined to be like him some day.

According to Sonali, Pratham provides higher quality education than the municipal school she attends. She says that in school they focus on rote learning, whereas, at Pratham she is able to actually understand the facts and reasons behind concepts that she learns.

Her family wants her to learn more and exceed their expectations. Being the only child she may be expected to support her family in the future. Her parents are well-educated and often help her and her neighboring friends with academic guidance if needed. After studying, Sonali likes to play with her dolls and also enjoys drawing.

Sonali says that she is ready for whatever life has to offer and will only keep moving forward no matter what the circumstances may hold. Such enthusiasm will certainly help Sonali excel in everything she endeavors!

Thank you for supporting Sonali and paving the path for a bright future for girls like her.
