प्रतिक्रियाएँ

मैं मुश्किल दौर से गुजर रही थी। स्वास्थ्य संबंधी मेरी कई समस्याएं थीं, लेकिन मैं इनके बारे में बात करने में झिझक रही थी और मुझे कोई मार्गदर्शन भी नहीं मिल रहा था। फिर मैंने उमंग कक्षाओं में भाग लिया। इसने मेरी अधिकांश शंकाओं का समाधान कर दिया। उमंग को धन्यवाद।

परिवार से जुड़े कुछ मुद्दों के कारण मैं बहुत तनाव में थी। मेरी पढ़ाई भी प्रभावित हो रही थी। तब उमंग सेशन ने मुझे तनाव से निपटने का रास्ता दिखाया। धीरे-धीरे मैं अपने जीवन में छोटे-छोटे बदलाव लाकर इस स्थिति से बाहर आने में सक्षम हुई। मैं उमंग कार्यक्रम और हमारे शिक्षकों की बहुत आभारी हूं।

मैं तंबाकू चबाने का शिकार हो गया था और मैं इस बुरी आदत को छोड़ना चाहता था। उमंग कक्षा सत्र के दौरान हासिल की गई जीवन कौशल - विशेष रूप से ‘मादक पदार्थों के सेवन’पर सत्र से, मुझे इस लत से बाहर निकलने में मदद मिली। मैं अब बहुत अच्छा महसूस कर रहा हूं।

मुझ पर परिवार का बहुत दबाव था और मुझे डर था कि जल्दी विवाह की परंपरा के कारण मुझे पढ़ाई छोड़ने के लिए मजबूर किया जा सकता है। लेकिन उमंग कार्यक्रम को धन्यवाद, जिसने मुझे अपने माता-पिता से बात करने और समझाने का साहस दिया और मैं स्कूल में वापस आ गई।
