A Shattered Daydream
It was a monday morning and everyone at the shah house were in a hurry. It was a big day because parth had an interview at a private school. Parth was a 11-year-old boy whose parents worked really hard for the day where he could study in a private school. The parents had the perception of private schools excelling in giving best education and the other amenities needed. Parth’s parents worked really hard for years for summing up the fees for the private school. Parth himself started disliking the thought of studying in a vernacular medium school as they education system was very poor. In a rush the parents and Parth leave for the school with a definite hope of getting an admission. As soon as he entered the school, he couldn’t contain his excitement and the joy of getting in such school. The parents were lost in the thoughts of their child having a bright future. All of them get a call in the cabin for the interview. Parth was a hardworking boy having knowledge and skills more than he was taught in a five hour school session. Parth answered all the questions with all his skills acquired throughout the years. He was very happy as he now thought the dream was almost fulfilled and he was one step away from a better education.
The principal took his seat as the parents greeted him with the sweetest smile. The principal was contented with Parth’s knowledge but when he looked at the parents he was dissatisfied. The school had a reputation of a place where only children with well to do households study. The parents of the children are also required to be educated, this pre requisite held more importance than a smart student. The principal was very firm about the pre requisite and wanted to maintain the school’s reputation. For him it meant just a ten minute thing to reject a student but to the child it meant his future seeming all dark in seconds. The principal didn’t change the decision and explained Parth’s parents the same. Parth was in tears as he couldn’t bear the fact that good education is so difficult to achieve. The parents who worked day night with the only intention of getting an admission in private school was faded in seconds. The feelings of shah family wouldn’t have been hurt if they were better schools for the underprivileged children were they could achieve the best of knowledge without paying a single penny. At Kartavya Charitable Trust we aim that there’s no child like Parth and we aim to provide and build schools for underprivileged children where they can study without such pre requisites.
