Backstory of APJ Abdul Kalam his journey from a poor boy to the Missile man of India

Good morning everyone Let's have a bit of motivation Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam was born in a poor family in Rameswaram, Tamil Nadu. As a child, he helped his family by selling newspapers, yet he never let poverty stop his dreams. He was passionate about science and worked hard in school despite limited resources. He faced many failures—like when he was rejected by the Indian Air Force—but he didn't give up. Instead, he became a key scientist in India’s missile and space programs. His projects faced delays, technical failures, and criticism, but his dedication turned them into great successes. Kalam led India’s nuclear tests in 1998 and earned the title “Missile Man of India.” Later, he became the 11th President of India and was loved for his simplicity, honesty, and love for students. Even till his last breath, he was teaching—proving that a man with dreams and dedication can rise above any struggle.
