Shaswatha G. is a fifth standard student at Kaveri Public School. There are many things that set her apart from her classmates and most kids her age. She has an excellent memory, is a karate champ and a State-level dancer. Goravale Gopalakrishna R., her father and an agriculturist, said that his family noticed her talent around three years ago.
Studying smart
“It was not difficult at all. I had the book and thought of giving it a shot. I found it very easy to recite the tables backwards. My teachers and classmates are always very encouraging,” said Shaswatha. Shaswatha has won several prizes already.
She has even taught a few standard X students. “A family friend noticed this and suggested that we let her take the standard X examinations,” he says. “We were told that there was no such provision in our system. The only State that allows underage children to write the standard X examinations is Bihar,” she said.
“I want to become an astronaut and go into space, just like Sunita Williams. That is my only ambition,” she says.
