Solution

Abdul, the Achiever

Abdul was a hardworking boy who lived in Rameswaram, Tamil Nadu. His father, Jainulabdeen, was a simple boat owner, and his mother, Ashiamma, was a kind and caring woman. Though the family was not rich, their home was full of love, discipline, and respect for all people and religions.

Abdul was intelligent and curious from a young age. He loved learning and spent hours studying science and mathematics. His teachers noticed his sharp mind and sincere attitude. One of his teachers, Mr. Siva Subramania Iyer, inspired him to dream big. He taught Abdul that one could achieve great heights through education, hard work, and perseverance.

Abdul faced many difficulties but never gave up. He worked hard in school and later studied aeronautical engineering. His passion for flying led him to become a scientist at ISRO and DRDO. With dedication and vision, he contributed to India’s missile and space programs and eventually became known as the “Missile Man of India.” Later, he rose to the highest honor of the country, becoming the President of India.

Though he achieved great success, Abdul remained humble, simple, and devoted to serving his country. His life continues to inspire millions of young Indians to believe that with faith, hard work, and determination, no dream is impossible.

Moral: Hard work, discipline, and faith in oneself can turn even an ordinary person into a true achiever.
