Aruneema came to Ama Ghar when she was four years old. She was a very quiet, observant, and serious child, though as she learned to play with her Ama Ghar brothers and sisters, she became much more animated. What never changed, however, was her commitment to her studies. From the very beginning she was extremely studious, organized, and serious about school.
She gave that same level of focus to the numerous extracurricular activities she was involved in and to her house responsibilities at Ama Ghar. Throughout her school years, she was active in Scout Camp and participated in nearly any sport that was offered. She particularly excelled at TaeKwonDo and regularly competed in local tournaments. The numerous certificates and awards she’s received for both scholastics and sports is a testament to her focus and hard work. At home, she was always a good older sister and proved herself to be highly capable and reliable when given extra responsibilities.
When she was young, she wanted to be a photographer. However, as she progressed through school and realized how much she enjoyed working with numbers, she changed her mind: She wanted to be a banker. She remained focused on her goal through Class 12 and her Bachelors studies. After years of hard work, she recently graduated from her four-year Bachelors of Business Studies in Insurance and Banking!
As one who consistently goes above and beyond what is required, Aruneema also participated in an internship during her studies. At graduation she was honored with the Achievement Award for Excellent Internship Performance! She was the only student in her graduating class to receive this award, and we know that it not only recognizes all her hard work so far but foreshadows a fulfilling career ahead. That career is already underway. She is currently working in the accounting department of a large supermarket chain and will take the big step of living on her own in April.
As she embarks on her career and living independently, we know she will continue to excel. While her many years of hard work and dedication has led to her success, your generous financial support has helped provide the educational opportunities, life skills, support, and security necessary for her to pursue her goals. She is one more Ama Ghar success to be proud of that generous donors like you have helped make possible!
