Creative Writing (Text Book Page No. 97)
K. Make a diary entry on the impact of a sports personality who is an inspiration to you.
I have recently read about Usha Rani a kabaddi player. Her life impressed me very much. She has come from a poor town. She became determined to become a kabaddi player to fulfill her mother’s dream. She joined a club to be trained as a kabaddi player. She started playing kabaddi at the National level in the Sub-junior category.
She sold flowers to support her parents. She had been struggling until she got a job in the Karnataka State Police Force.
Usha participated in national events every year without a miss. She is skilled in giving leads, raiding opponents, and consistently playing an important role in the Indian kabaddi team. Now she is working hard and practicing every day to win the Gold medal at the Asian Games in 2020.
My joy knew no bounds when I read her biography. I’m sure that if a woman wants to achieve anything in life, she can succeed in it. I’m proud of a woman.
