He said, "Now when she has stood 5th in the city and she wants to become a CA, I will try my best to fulfil her wish."It was tough on Lata, who has been good at studies since her childhood, when she came to know that her father cannot afford class her XII tuition fees. In spite of the offers made by her teachers to guide her separately free of cost, she chose to study herself. Lata's conviction and a desire to achieve her goal helped her cause.
