"Renu My name is Renu Maurya I am a 15- year old girl My father is a generator operator in the local hospital while my mother works in Aasha a local non- government organization Everyday I help my mother in doing household works before leaving for school Once I return from school I spend the rest of the day reading and playing with friends I love reading story books and playing chess Girls in my village are discouraged from going to school They face discrimination at every stage in their life One of my friends says that she gets less food than her brother everyday When she asks for the clarification from her mother she says that since girls will leave family after getting married they need not to be given special attention Boys on the other hand are the ones who will remain with them and help them attain salvation by lighting their funeral pyre Therefore they need to be fed more and treated with special care I want to be a doctor so that I can serve the poor people of my village girls and women in particular since little care is given to their health Whenever I go to the hospital where my father woks my heart begins to leap with joy when I see doctors wearing white uniform I hope me too Will be able to don the same uniform some day in the future and make my parents feel proud View my work"
