Ramjan Ali's life has been a story of grim battle against poverty. He has worked as a helper in neighbours' homes before taking to driving a rickshaw van to earn for his family and pay for studies too. The HSC results published on Wednesday gave Ramjan and his mother a rare occasion to celebrate. He passed with the highest grade of GPA-5.

"It is because of my struggling but determined mother I could achieve this success." Ramjan was only three when his father died. The tragedy forced his mother to work as a househelp for survival with Ramjan and three other children. At one stage he also joined his mother to help her in the work. Later he started driving a rickshaw van to help the poverty-stricken family to survive. "There had been days when I had to skip classes to be able to drive the van for an earning," said Ramjan. "Today I'm so happy that I've forgotten all my hardships." His mother Monowara Begum is happy too. "I've always believed that my son will do well in the HSC," she said. "He obtained 4.11 in the SSC too." Monowara now dreams to send her son to university and do well there.

"I may have to miss one year as I need to work and earn enough to pay for coaching before university admission."
