A student of Govt Girls Higher Secondary School in Ashok Nagar and having scored a centum in science, Suganthi, however, said that her interests lied in the commerce field. “I want to pursue CA and for that, I will be choosing the commerce group in my 11th,” she added.Suganthi’s father S Munusamy is also equally elated. “I don’t understand the groups or what she wants to pursue. She has come this far. I will support her till the end. There were times when I was unable to help out financially, and my friends and well-wishers had extended support at the time,” he said.Ravikrishnamoorthy, a retired advocate from Mylapore who provided financial assistance for the girl’s family, said, “Children like Suganthi require more support. She will achieve big in whatever she pursues.”
