If you woke up today feeling that you've missed a lot of opportunities in life and it's probably too late to do want you want--then we have something special to share. What we are about to tell you is the story of 44-year-old Rajni Bala from Ludhiana. What makes her tale so special is the fact that she recently appeared for Class X board exams along with her son. Yes, yes we know what you are probably thinking--isn't it a little too late? Well, when it comes to dreams, time cannot limit them. Turns out, Rajni had passed grade IX in 1989. However, she could not pursue her education any further due to family problems. Later, she got married and had three kids.

Obviously being a mother of three comes along with a ton of responsibilities and hard work. Thus, she could not go back to school. Moreover, she spent her time educating her children and bringing them up. Currently, she works as a ward attendant in a civil hospital. However, she always regretted not giving her class X exams.

"My husband has been telling me for several years to complete my education. However, I had three children and had to educate them. Although I am working as a ward attendant in a civil hospital, I realised that it is important to pass Class 10 at least, in the present day. Therefore, I began preparing along with my son, who is also in Class 10. We go to school together and study also together," she said in an interview to ANI.

"My mother-in-law, in spite of being uneducated herself, motivated me to take this decision. My husband has been very supportive; he wakes up early to teach me and my son. My daughters also help me study. Eventually, I would like to pursue my graduation," she continued.

It was not easy at all, juggling between housework, her studies, and taking care of her kids. She had to get up early in the morning to cook for her family before engrossing herself into studies. Lucky for her, she had the support of her family.

Well, here's wishing her luck for the exam results.
