Examination
Months passed. Saira balanced housework, helping her mother, caring for her father, and preparing for her board exams.
Her friends sometimes laughed at her old clothes and worn-out shoes. But she remembered her dream — to become a nurse and serve her village.
The exam days arrived. She wrote each paper with confidence.
When the results were announced, the whole village gathered near the school notice board.
Saira had scored the highest marks in her school.
Her father's eyes filled with tears — tears of pride.
Villagers who once doubted her now praised her courage.
