On the Wings of Dreams: An Inspirational Story

Ridayan always looked up at the sky and dreamed. Beyond this vast blue sky, he wondered how many unknown secrets were concealed! Every evening, he would go to the roof and count the stars and think that one day he would become a space scientist himself and unravel the mysteries of the universe. His dream was that one day he would build a rocket that would take him to Mars or even an unknown galaxy far, far away.

However, Ridayan's issue was elsewhere. His family was very poor. His father was a small farmer, and his mother worked as a seamstress at home. It was difficult for them to even pay for Ridayan's school books and notebooks, let alone the money to conduct research on science!

A school science fair was announced one day. Every student was required to produce and bring a project. Ridayan thought that he would make a small rocket model. But the problem was that he did not have the money to buy the materials to make the rocket. He would do what?

Ridayan returned home and said to his father, "Dad, don't give me any money; I will make a rocket!"

His father sighed and said, "Dad, you know our situation. The harvest has not been good this time; where will I get the money?"

Tears welled up in Ridayan's eyes. He thought that his dream had ended here. He told his friend Ayesha everything. Ayesha told him,

"Ridayan, you don't need money to fulfill your dreams. You just need willpower and patience. You can make a lot of things with old things at home"!

Ridayan found hope in Ayesha's words. He started searching around the house—old plastic bottles, toy car motors, some wires, and pieces of wood. His mother gave him an old, colorful cloth with which he could make a rocket flag.

Ridayan put in long hours to build his model of a rocket. He learned rocket designs from books, watched videos on YouTube, and gradually built the rocket of his dreams. Although it wasn’t like the professionals’, it still had all his love and hard work.

The day of the science fair arrived. Ridayan and his model went to school with some anxiety. Projects made with expensive materials had been brought in by other students. Some had built robots, some solar panels. Ridayan’s heart was beating fast—could he keep up with them?

When the judges (judges) saw Ridayan’s project, they were amazed! Ridayan’s rocket was made entirely of household items, yet it worked like a real rocket. They asked him, “How did you make this?”

Ridayan said in a low voice, “Sir, I didn’t have any money, so I made it with old household items.”

The school principal liked Ridayan's model so much that he said, "Ridayan, your talent and hard work are amazing! To enable you to continue your studies in science, we will provide you with a school scholarship." Tears of joy came to Ridayan's eyes. He realized that he was about to fulfill his dream!

Then Ridayan worked even harder. He got a scholarship and got admitted to a good school, then studied space science at the university. Years passed, and one day Ridayan really became a famous scientist. He started working for an organization like NASA, and one day his rocket really went into space!

Every child in his village was inspired by his story. They realized that money is not enough to fulfill dreams, but indomitable willpower, patience, and hard work are needed.

The last word

Ridayan's story teaches us - obstacles will come in life, but the courage to dream can never be lost. If there is faith and effort, then no goal is impossible.

"Dream, fight, and never let your willpower fail!"
