Kalpana woke up early in the morning. The sun was just rising, and the house was quiet. She looked at her mother, who was already busy with household work. Seeing her mother work so hard every day made Kalpana feel emotional.
"I have to do something," she thought. "I want to help my mother and make her proud."
After finishing her work, Kalpana sat with her old phone. She started searching on the internet about ways to earn money from home. At first, everything looked confusing. So many apps, so many options — she didn't know where to start.
For a moment, she felt like giving up.
But then she remembered her mother's tired face.
"No," she said to herself. "I will not give up. I will learn slowly."
That day, she decided to start with something simple. She created accounts on Pinterest and Instagram. She began posting beautiful designs and ideas that she liked.
Her first post got only a few views.
She felt a little sad.
But this time, she didn't stop.
"Success takes time," she smiled. "Tomorrow I will try again."
That night, before sleeping, Kalpana felt something new inside her.
Hope.
Because she knew — this was just the beginning.
