Lessons from a little girl

There are times when we learn lessons from the younger generation and at times they give us the courage and strength to move on. After BBS had featured a story about this little girl (http://www.bbs.bt/news/?p=12208) who wrote with her feet, we went to visit her. 
Tshering with her best friend

Tshering Lhamo studying at Zangtherpo Community Primary School in Bumthang is just 10 but she is a lesson for most of us. She had a stroke when she was a baby and then she was not able to move her hands. That never stopped her, she taught herself how to write with her feet. 

She is one of the brightest students in her class.

Her best friend who sits near her helps her pick up pencils from her pencil box. If only we could have a physiotherapist who could help her, her live would have been so much more comfortable. Her speech is also not very clear but she always seems happy, never complaining about anything.
  
She was such an inspiration for me. Really made me feel so proud. Thank you Tshering for teaching me a lesson of being happy the way you are.
