Go Girl! We are behind you all the way.. All I can say is that this story is my inspiration. Too often we as women allow our dreams to take a backseat just so that we can play our part in our cultures and make our parents happy. I say it's time to make ourselves happy too. It doesn't have to be one or the other. In this day and age we can do both. Thanks for this story.

I often casually say, "The only limit to the height of your achievements is the reach of your dreams and your willingness to work for them."

Is this ketch family

Great!!! Make us proud coolie gyul. 

I think overall women, and Indian women especially, are often overlooked as being weak.  But I tell you, I know the Indian woman and they are not weak. Strength, determination, intelligence and courage. And lemme not talk about thief looks and locks.  Lol

I know that's right! There has never been a group of women who possessed more quiet strength than them. And I think that the years of being overlooked is a major part of what makes them strong. They were asking for strength all that time and the higher power answered.

she fought off her parents will to live her dreams
