The Real Success

Sakshi was a very intelligent girl. She loved studying space and astronomy. Her parents bought her a telescope to see planets and stars. She used to study in National Public School of Mumbai. She was the favorite student of every teacher of her school. Either than astronomy, Sakshi had a deep interest in teaching. She loved teaching as much as she loved astronomy. Whenever Sakshi was like bored, she used to play teaching game. And every night, she used to watch planets and stars and the universe. She read many books and magazines regarding space and the universe. Soon, she became the master of astronomy.

When she was in class 11 she just wrote an article about the universe, its facts and the facts which she wrote were very new, which other space scientists didn't discovered. Sakshi sent her article to NASA. When the scientists of NASA, read the article they're shocked of how a girl studying in 11th grade, knows about the facts, which we haven't discovered yet! The scientists of NASA, started to research on the facts written by Sakshi. And after 6 years, all the facts written by Sakshi were proved correct. All the scientists of NASA were impressed with Sakshi. They sent an appointment letter to Sakshi, to work as the head of Research and Development Team of NASA.

When Sakshi got to know, that she was selected as the head of Research and Development Team of NASA, she was out of the world, because she wrote the article for just passing her time. Her parents were so much proud of her success. All the teachers of Sakshi were also very happy for Sakshi especially her principal: Mrs. Sharma. After 15 days, Sakshi had to board her flight for NASA. After 10 days, Sakshi got to know heartbreaking news and that was her principal Mrs. Sharma passed away due to a car accident. She was very much sad for her principal because whatever she was, it was all because of her teachers and principal.

After hearing the news, Sakshi could not control her tears and she cried and cried. She was also worried for the future of the students of the school because she thought that her school would never ever get a principal like Mrs. Sharma. After 2 days, Sakshi got an offer from her school to be the next principal of the school because of her knowledge and passion for teaching. Now, Sakshi was standing in a crossroads. One way, was to NASA, which would give her so much recognition and money to her and the second way was to be her own school's principal which would give her respect but less money. Sakshi's parents and relatives and friends everyone was saying her to go to NASA, because she'll have her future in NASA. Sakshi couldn't understand what to do. She decided to go to NASA but her heart was still in her school's students future. Sakshi decided to visit one last time her school and say no to the teachers for principal offer. When she reached her school, she saw all students watching in her eyes with the hope that she'll become their next principal, she'll beautify the future of them.

Now, Sakshi couldn't control herself to say " Yes" for becoming the next principal. And she agreed to be the next principal of her school. She thought that her heavenly principal will be so proud of her that she chose the future of the students of her school instead of her future. When Sakshi went home and she told her parents that she'll refuse to NASA, her parents were in shock! They scolded Sakshi that she has the future as well as money in NASA not in a normal school. But Sakshi explained to her parents that for her money is not important, if she will go in NASA then there she'll make her future, she'll get money but she'll never get as much respect as principal's get from their fellow students and she'll never be happy if she goes in NASA as she'll every time be sorry for the students of her school that she couldn't make their future. Sakshi's parents understood what she was trying to say.

And the next day, Sakshi refused to NASA and joined her school as the next principal. She didn't get as much money as she was expected to get in NASA, but still, when Sakshi saw the smile on the students of her school, undoubtedly according to Sakshi, that smile was of billions. Sakshi earned so much respect in her school and she took her school in the list of the top schools of the country and spent her whole life serving as the principal of the National Public School of Mumbai. According to Sakshi, becoming the principal of the same school in which she studied was the "Real Success" for her.
