GPA 5 scorers : Poverty could not frustrate them

Like previous years, this year also some students have got GPA 5 in the SSC examination despite their extreme financial limitations. Some of them had to work hard in the fields with their parents, had to starve, had to stop reading at night since they did not have the money to buy kerosene even for their lamps.
Their strong will power did not stop them from succeeding in the examinations. They rarely got the opportunity to go to private tutors, could not sit for model tests, could not attend their schools sitting in the luxurious cars or even in rickshaws.
These poor but meritorious students are probably best examples for us to move forward in our lives. They have shown us that success may come even through continuous struggle in life. They have shown us that we do not need to wait till better days and then start work hard for success. They have proved that we can achieve success with whatever we have at present.
Those of us, still studying and facing difficult time in managing our education expenses, often blame our teachers/guardians for not giving us facilities. We care very little whether they can give us money or not. We sometimes forcefully take money from them. We need to rethink how much we are justified in doing so.
True, education has been very costly these days. We need money in almost every step of our student life. Many times our guardians cannot support us. Accepting all these realties, we need to be patient and consider the affordability of their guardians. Only that way we can be considerate and will learn how to struggle and succeed in life.
When we are struggling and making good result, we are becoming more confident about our professional life. We have the feeling that we have overcome many adversities in life and we can easily cope with any difficult situation in our working life as well.
Financial limitations do not last for ever, limitations are overcome one day. We must not lose our patience. With strong determination and will power, we can overcome all financial hurdles and move forward.
Congratulations to those who have got GPA 5 in SSC this year despite their huge financial limitations. They obviously deserve better applause from us than those who made the same result with huge financial support by their parents. They are the real heroes! They are the ones who can be the source of continuous inspiration for us!
