I was studying in a renowned convent school. we had our Annual sports day. All students were very excited and looking forward to participate in various events. we all were sitting in the ground when suddenly a voice came from behind.. " Girls are only eligible to participate in short put, discuss throw and various small events like marble race, needle race, etc. You will not be participating in long jump, race and high jump." It was sister Veronica. She had the authority to take all the decisions in the sports day. I was so depressed and upset as long jump was my favorite sport and i won't be able to participate in it as it is only for boys. I requested sister Veronica so that i can participate in it but she gave me an unique logic. "Girls are not meant for this sport. you all will hurt yourself as it needs lots of physical effort." I was strange and looking at her face and she went away. "Mom, i got first class in my board exams. I want to sit for the joint entrance. I will become a doctor." I jumped in happiness as i secured very good marks in my boards. "Congratulations my dear, whatever profession you choose to be but ultimately you have to manage your home and family." Saying this...
