Meet Shagun Khanna, A small town girl, helping people to achieve their dreams

Family is considered as our biggest strength, One person can fight with the entire world if he has support from his family. In a family the head is considered as father and it becomes really tough for a family to struggle and survive without the head of the family.
Father protects you from all the evils, take care of your needs, earn the livelihood for the entire family. Many people in this world do have have that luxury. Its said, some people are not very lucky, they never see young age, many directly turn old from their childhood, for many of us, its the weakness and for many of us it becomes strength and a chance to explore their potential.
Meet Shagun Khanna, a very young age girl who lost her father at a very young age, being a single person in her family other than her mother and with no siblings, she was the single bread and butter earner in her family.
She realised her potential at a very young age and started working at the age of 16 just after her 10. She realised her dreams at a very tender age and felt to share her creativity, her passion and zeal with many others.
At the age of 17 she started her own venture with the name Dreams Creations. After loosing her father at a very young age, she was not able to get into higher studies due to lack of funds but now is helping many others to realise their dreams who are not able to afford quality education.

Life has no excuses , once it is gone it can never come back. Yes! My life was my father. I lost him but never thought of doing hard work at that time. After all , I was a student , I had to study further. But who knows, What turn Life takes.
A single daughter, No siblings and always saw my mother father paying hard work for me. I started thinking that what can be done now? After all there were no earning hands, People laughed when I said I want to do something. They said “Pagal ho gai hae ladki, Itni choti si umar mae kya kregi” . but I knew that I can definitely do something. I started teaching in a small school where I got 1k as my first salary, My Grandparents and my mother felt very proud that time and said “You were asking na that who is going to earn now?” Its none other than you. Felt great, Gained confidence. and came with an idea of opening an institute where I can help the children with creativity and coaching who really want to learn but are not able to just due to no financial support and I am happy to see that my students are doing really well and making me feel immensely proud.
