She Wrote With Her Feet to Pass Exams

Though she may be physically challenged but her resolve was to pass exams & this girl from Tripura state of India has passed her Class 10 board examinations by writing with her feet.

Swapna Biswas, aged 17 is born with a deformity that prevents both her hands from functioning. She belongs to Uttar Nalichara village in Dhalai district in Tripura state of India. Swapna fought her way through life without letting the disability prevent her from leading as normal a life as possible.

Swapna used her feet to do all daily chores, from cooking to fetching water, and learnt to write by holding her pen between her toes. Naturally, she was jubilant when she secured a second division in the Class 10 examinations.

"I want to pursue my studies as I have eyes and can write with my feet," Swapna said.

But abject poverty has forced her to sell puffed rice on the streets instead of seeking admission in a college.

Swapna lost her father, a daily wage earner, when she was a child. And the girl's mother says the family is too poor to fund Swapna's higher studies.
