The Light in the Darkness
Ravi grew up in a small village where electricity was unreliable. At night, he studied under a dim oil lamp while his parents worked hard to support the family. Despite the difficulties, Ravi loved learning and dreamed of becoming an engineer to bring better electricity to his village.
One day, his school announced a science competition with a scholarship as the grand prize. Excited yet nervous, Ravi decided to participate. He gathered old wires, batteries, and small bulbs to create a simple solar-powered lamp. Many of his friends laughed at him, saying it was impossible, but he kept working.
After weeks of trial and error, Ravi finally completed his project. On the day of the competition, he demonstrated how his lamp could provide light without electricity. The judges were amazed by his creativity and determination. When the results were announced, Ravi won first place and received a full scholarship to study engineering.
Years later, Ravi returned to his village, not as a student but as an engineer. He worked to install solar panels, bringing light to homes that had been in darkness for so long. His childhood dream had come true, and his village could finally enjoy a brighter future.
Ravi’s story teaches us that challenges should not stop us from chasing our dreams. We can turn struggles into stepping stones for success with hard work and belief in ourselves.
