"Papa, Me CA Ban Gayi": Delhi tea seller's daughter clears CA exam after 10 years

In a heartwarming LinkedIn post, Chartered Accountant Amita Prajapati shared an emotional video celebrating her success after clearing the CA exam on July 11, 2024, following a decade of perseverance. Prajapati, the daughter of a tea seller, faced immense hardships and skepticism from her community. Many questioned her parents' decision to invest in her education, deeming it impractical given their financial constraints and living conditions. Despite these challenges, Prajapati remained steadfast in her determination, ultimately achieving her dream and making her family proud.

Prajapati's journey was marked by resilience and unwavering support from her parents. In her heartfelt post, she recounted the doubts and criticisms she faced, with some suggesting that her family should focus on saving money and building a house rather than educating her. "People used to say, why are you putting her through such a big course? Your daughter won't be able to do it," she shared. Embracing her humble beginnings, she wrote, "Yes, 'of course,' I live in a slum... but now I am not ashamed." The culmination of her efforts was captured in a deeply emotional moment with her father, as they both broke into tears upon hearing the news. Prajapati's message to others is clear and powerful: "I want to tell everyone that it's never too late, and DREAMS DO COME TRUE."
