Anshika
Age: 11
“For me, education is everything. If I’m not educated and standing next to someone who is, I will feel embarrassed. I won’t be comfortable. I want to be a journalist when I grow up. I want to face problems, work hard and know people’s opinion. My parents don’t tell me what I should become when I grow up because if I do something I don’t like, I will not pay enough attention and fail in it. They tell me to do what I want.”
– As told to Tania Goklany. Anshika studies at Rani Chennama Sarvodaya Kanya Vidyalaya in Jahangirpuri, Delhi. Teach for India takes classes for her batch.
