In Her Own Way

Her limitations which made her free!!

Cara Steven was born in the family of doctors, it was more than obvious for her to be expected to become one. Since young she had the habit of playing with the workers at her house and caring for them. She was often scowled for getting close to them. She had a soft side for people in need and always tended to feel sympathy for them.

One day at school her class was given a project of spreading awareness for the daily wage workers, everyone was in an awe for what to be done now. Cara proposed the idea of making posters and uploading posts on social networking sites. Everyone was unpleased by the idea and removed her from the group. She decided to do the project herself.

 Cara's father had recently bought a new camera, she asked for borrowing it but her request was denied. The next day she sneaked it out and went to the nearby construction site and took lots of photos with them and executed her idea, it went more than well and she got lots of recognition for it even by the mayor but her family was not quite proud. Her father insulted her for not being good at studies but wandering around all day doing useless stuff. She was not taken aback even a bit.

The next week when she came to school, she was praised by everyone except for her classmate Aru the one who suggested to put her aside of the group. Cara approached her and whispered in her ear that She forgave her. Aru smiled at her with the satisfaction.

While promoting her project Cara realized that the impacts created by Social Media was way more than what she expected to be. She started getting involved more and more in such activities and got her way around short movies. She started creating short movies on the topics of social awareness and started raising funds for helpless people.

When her father realized how her daughter was actually reaching somewhere with her hard work, he finally stopped pestering her to do the things his way. And even thought of supporting her.

The next summer her family went to their home back in he countryside. All the residents except for one family had already migrated. Watching this Cara felt extremely remorseful, she was quite uneasy with the fact that her home being destroyed like this. She decided do something by her end. 

When they came back, she decided to make a documentary on the migration of the people from the hilly areas. The idea was quite risky and lengthy, at first when she brought this up to her father who was a major investor in her movies now wasn't quite pleased  but later approved of it and so started the filming of the most important movie of her life.

It wasn't quite easy for her to film the movie, setting up the whole team, she lived in the countryside for almost five years for this project. Later she gained national awards and countrywide recognition for her work.

She led the path of her life 'In Her Own Way' and reached where no one else did.
