During the graduation ceremony at Vodafone Arena, a remarkable moment was witnessed as 38-year-old Monisha Mamta Rao received her award, supported by her husband. A mother of three, Ms. Rao, who lives with a physical disability, felt an immense sense of pride as her name was announced on stage.
Having dedicated a year to studying in Labasa, Ms. Rao was one of only two recipients of the prestigious National Training and Productivity Centre Excellence Award for her Advanced Diploma in Leadership and Management. She emphasized her motivation with the quote, “There is nothing about me without me,” which drives her to continuously move forward.
Ms. Rao expressed gratitude for her family’s unwavering support, acknowledging that without their encouragement, she would not have achieved this milestone. Her journey has been characterized by resilience and the love of her husband, Ronald Rao, who spoke proudly of her accomplishments after seven years of marriage. He stated that they have always tackled challenges together, making their partnership work seamlessly despite the demands of work and family.
In a powerful message to others, Ms. Rao shared that anyone can achieve their dreams: “With willpower and self-respect, you can soar to greater heights.”
This heartwarming story not only highlights the strength and determination of individuals facing challenges but also emphasizes the importance of family support in achieving personal goals. It serves as an inspiring reminder that perseverance and community can lead to extraordinary achievements.
