Vandana wants to become a lawyer

Vandana Devi
Dear Mike,

Vandana was born in the village of Bhanpur, Jaunpur, which is located in the region of Uttar Pradesh, India. She graduated from JS Girls Intermediate College in June 2012 with a major in arts. She also stood First Division in the Uttar Pradesh Board examination.

Her father, Om, has a small shop in which he makes and sells sweets, and her mother, Geeta, is a housewife who also assists the family by working as a part-time sweet maker. Vandana lives with her parents, grandparents (Harish and Champa), and her brother Keertimaan. They all live together in a small mud house.

Besides reading books, Vandana’s spare time is spent helping her mother in her household work. She plans to be a lawyer.

She is highly appreciative of the scholarship you have provided, Mike, and promises to take full advantage of the opportunity.  She has enrolled in a three year B.A. program in a local college in Mariahu, Jaunpur.
