I am not trying to target anyone.
But this story is not impressive at all.
I have seen many blind girls and boys who have achieved a lot then this girl.
I couldn't find anything in this story, which is called impressive.

  Blind RJ spins tune of inspiration

Mar 15, 2014, 03.39AM IST TNN[ Ragini Bharadwaj ]

AHMEDABAD: Kalgi Raval, 18, is completely blind but she more than makes 
up for her disability with her boundless confidence and dedication. She 
dropped out of a mainstream school after Class 5. She wanted to appear 
in the board examinations as an open school candidate but, for that, she 
had to be 18 years old. On Thursday, Kalgi's wish was finally fulfilled 
when she appeared in the first SSC paper.

Kalgi is no ordinary blind girl. She is a trained radio jockey and works 
at the Gujarat University (GU) radio station. Last year, she was the 
compere for the `Chalo Gujarat' event. She aims to start a band of five 
blind girls and give performances, the proceeds of which will be used to 
fund education of girls in rural areas with the same disability. "In 
cities, parents are aware but in villages blind girls are seen as a 
liability. I wish to fund education of girls who want to study so that 
they can be independent," said Kalgi.

She has spent long hours studying for the board exams. She was coached 
personally by teachers of the HB Kapadia School. Earlier, she had become 
disheartened when she found that there wasn't much study material 
available as audio books or in Braille script.

She then approached the authorities of HB Kapadia School who responded 
positively to Kalgi's request for help. She was supported by teachers 
Gursimram Kaur and Vijaylaxmi Pandit who read out the science textbook 
to her for two hours daily and taught her by drawing diagrams on her 
palms. Teachers Ishita Patel and Khushnuma Solai taught her social studies.

The teachers said that Kalgi is a powerhouse of energy and her 
willingness to study had encouraged them to spend time teaching her 
after school hours.
