Truly insipiring one! Defintely the woman is brave and deserves praise! But the credit also goes to the America which has established such a system where a individual can create a story if he/she wills no matter what background he comes form...

Single mothers story.

How many in India will do that, instead of picking a begging bowl looking for mercy and pity from others.
I bet the answer NONE.

This Sheetal ki bachi is such a sorry female. Its good that she is out of India and living in UK cleaning toilets. All her posts have something negative about India. If you don't like it, why waste your time on an Indian website? If you want to see, go to any Indian village, you will see hard working widows or divorced mothers, who manage to provide better future to their kids. Going to Harvard or being articulate in telling your story is not the only measure. Shame on you.

when did getting into a hifi school become an achievement. What you do after school can be an achievement but going for education is not.Can we get over this silly "school snobbery" please.dhirubhai was uneducated. Education is a means of gaining knowledge..if its a good school, you get good knowledge...so what? getting education is no achievement...

This is not just about getting into Harvard, but about how she got into college in those difficult conditions.

People like you, the so called "Aam Admi" never knew and will never know Dhirubhai made money. Worst is you will also never know how how their sons' are making money! Anil Ambani telecommunication running into huge tax scams is just the tip of the iceberg!!
Atleast this girl, from what it seems like, has had a very honest and tough approach to her situation!

you actually read the article? What were her circumstances? Getting into Harvard is a big achievement and so is starting companies like Dhirubhai. It's not this or that. Both are great in their own ways. Be encouraging and not disparaging. You will achieve more in life.
