Chandigarh [India], May 14 (ANI): Defying all odds, 17-year-old Kafi, an acid attack survivor from Hisar, scored 95.6 percent in CBSE class 12 and aspires to become an IAS officer.
Speaking to ANI, Kafi, said, "I belong to Hisar, Haryana currently living in Chandigarh. I am a student of the Institute for the Blind. In the recent results of the CBSE Boards, I scored 95.6% in Class 12th. In Class 10th, I had scored 95.2% as well. I am an acid attack victim, and my target is to become an IAS officer. Being a visually challenged girl, there were a lot of challenges, but my parents and teachers helped me a lot to conquer them. We have limited access to resources but technology helped us a lot. My main source of study was audio and textbooks."
She further said that the success of her good score goes to the teachers.
Kafi further said, "My parents have been my support system and inspiration. The way they have sacrificed for me, I just want to pay back to them. This pushes me a lot to do better in my life. For the students out there, I want to say that social media and other things are not going to decide our future, we have to do hard work. We will have to be humble and a good human being."
