Fighting all odds in her life, Sonali worked hard and clinched the top position in the Bihar Board class 12 Science exam. She prepared for the exams amid Coronavirus- related- lockdown and used it as a weapon. "I utilized the time that I got during Coronavirus-related lockdown and did self-study. My tuition teacher Jeet Sir has also guided me during my preparations for board exams. He used to come to my house and teach me every day, even during the lockdown. He used to give his mobile phone to me so that I can attend online classes and access study materials online. He had guided me even in my matric exams. I want to thank my teacher and my parents for their constant support during my board preparations," Sonali said.

Ask her about her ambitions, she said, "I want to become an IAS officer in the future. I will prepare for the UPSC civil services examination.
