Mother Teresa and Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam has always inspired her in serving the society and providing education to the kids is in a way giving back to the society. Like any other entrepreneurial journey, Rebecca too had to face many hardships initially and is grateful to have them, as it made her stronger and encouraged to move ahead with firm determination. She battled through all negative experiences in personal life to strive for establishing herself as an entrepreneur. She tries to focus on positive aspect of life and tells “Life will have plenty of struggles. Life is never easy. There is no rule book, its beauty and sweetness lies in its unpredictability.”
The most challenging part of her entrepreneurial journey was to accumulate funds from her savings and then to fight with the corrupt municipality officials as they would find numerous ways to suck money in the name of allotting permission to her preschool. After overcoming all these hindrances, she had the humongous task of creating her own syllabus.
Through her preschool, she has created an inclusive learning environment that is responsive to student’s voice enriching, engaging resources. The school also strikes hard to enhance its multicultural nature for a sustainable future.
Being awarded as the “International Educator 2019” and bagging “Best Preschool Award 2019” proves beyond doubt that her entrepreneurial expedition is on the right track; thereby inspiring others to follow the same. Even though being successful in her venture, Rebecca leads a simple life and her humbleness and empathetic approach has always drawn a lot of praise among her colleagues. As an educationalist she has the right approach and attitude to make it big in the field of entrepreneur.
