JISPA DOSHI

Jispa Doshi is my favourite type of fish. No, I'm serious, this girl has spent more time in water than has on land!

What do people know her for: For being a national level champion? Yes. For winning every "punja" competition? Yes. For being called to the podium for getting felicitated by the principle on a weekly basis? Yes.

She may have won over 300+ medals, but she will never tell u about her victories until u see it in the news or on the "Sports achievements display" in our school. Her humility and modesty know no bounds.

JispaDoshi is an inspiration. Because she fights harder every single day. Because she gets up at 4:38AM trains attends school straight after training goes for training straight after school and then goes to the gym straight after training, finishes her homework checks up on her friends and sleeps. 6 days aweek, everyweek of year. She has been doing this since she was 8.

Oh and she does this while keeping her academic records sky-high. Her school attendance too! She only misses school when she has a competition. I'm serious, she rather be sick and suffer than stay home, miss school. She knows her priorities completes her responsibilities, and on seldom occasions do u find someone who does what she does the way she does it. Effortlessly.

She does make sacrifices, but not when it comes to her friendships. I am beyond privileged to share my birthday with her, because even on her sweet 16th, she attended my party. She is the best kind of friend. Because when the tides are against u, she will be your anchor. Because she will stick by your side when u don't faith in yourself. Because every time u need advice, she will be ur go-to person. Because when there is half a sandwich left, she'd give it to u w/o a thought and starve herself instead. Because she connects with animals like she does with humans. Trust me, dogs love her (but not more than I do).

She is the epitome of the definition of a woman. Strong. Grateful. Fierce. Beautiful. Ambitious. Honest. Carefree. Caring. Intelligent. Dedicated. Vulnerable. Genuine. Loving. Responsible. Fearless.

I run outof words when it comes to this woman.

Sorry, fish*
