उत्तर
I had often noticed that in my neighbour's family, the son was greatly pampered, but the daughter, Meera, was treated unfairly. I could not bear this. So one day I decided to do something about it. I knew that as a young girl, I could not go in and give them advice. It had to be done diplomatically. I decided to make a folder of stories of successful women who had scaled wonderful heights and were greatly respected. I also made a list of women entrepreneurs and their lives. It took me a long time to do this, but it also became my project at school and I got guidance from my teacher and my mother. They asked me to make a power-point presentation too, in addition to the folder. After about three months of hard work my project was complete.
One afternoon, when I knew that Meera's mother would be alone at home, I took my presentation and my folder. Pretending that I wanted her opinion on my school project, I showed her the entire presentation.
My plan was successful. At the end of two anxious hours, Meera's mother turned round and hugged me. "I get your message," she said through her tears. "We have been unfair to Meera. We will rectify it immediately. Thanks, dear."
I don't know the marks I will get in school for my project, but according to me, it is already in the A+ category. It has made a positive impact. And that's enough reward for me.
