Question

Pair up with your partner and answer the following question:

Do you have a passion you would fight for? Why?

Answer 1

Yes, my role model is Captain Prem Mathur, who obtained her pilot’s license in 1947, when the idea of gender equality was nonexistent in our country. In an era when people doubted the capabilities of a woman pilot, Mary Airlines rejected her. She was fired, kept trying, and finally, after a few years, was hired by Deccan Airlines. In 1949, she won the National Air Race.
