My name is Aashu, and I study in Class 9. I was born on 8th October 2011, and I live in Village Jhuppa, Baghpur, Palwal, Haryana with my parents, Gurdev and Gurnam, my four sisters, and one brother. My father works as a labourer, and like many families in our village, we work hard every day to move forward in life.
I go to Baghpur School, but reaching school every day was not easy for me. There were days when I felt tired even before classes began, and sometimes I worried about whether I would be able to continue my studies without difficulties.
Things started to change when I began using the Blossom Bus service under support from Nissan-Renault, Financial Services India.
“I still remember the first day I got on the bus. I held my bag tightly and looked around quietly…but inside, I felt a small happiness that my journey to school had become easier.”
Since then, my mornings have completely changed. Now, I step out of my house with a smile, waiting for the bus with excitement.
“When the bus arrives in our village, it feels like a ray of hope stopping just for us.”
The journey to Baghpur School is now filled with small, beautiful moments. Sometimes I sit near the window and watch the trees and fields pass by, shining in the morning sunlight. Sometimes I laugh with my friends, sharing little stories and jokes that make us forget all our worries.
“Those moments in the bus feel like a small happy world where we just smile, laugh, and dream.”
Earlier, I used to feel nervous about the journey, but now I travel safely and comfortably every day. I reach school on time, with a fresh mind, ready to learn new things.
“Now, instead of worrying about the road, I think about my lessons, my future, and my dreams.”
Being part of a big family, I always feel responsible to study well and support my parents one day. This bus has helped me take one strong step toward that dream.
“I feel proud that I am continuing my studies without any fear.”
I feel very thankful from my heart.
“I sincerely thank NRFSI and White Lotus Trust who started the Blossom Bus service. Because of this support, girls like me can go to school without any worry.”
My dream is to study well, become independent, and support my family, and also inspire my sisters to continue their education.
“For me, the Blossom Bus is not just a bus – it’s a journey that carries my hopes, my courage, and my dreams every single day.”
