3. The view point of her mother in regard to all the above

Her mother told in the interview that her daughter Ms A is very shy and softly spoken. She is a very brilliant student. She was a rank holder in Uttrakhand in 12th standard. So her father decided to send her Delhi for further studies. And she was happy with her father’s decision, but after coming here she faced many problems as she is introverted, so she cannot express her feelings in front of everyone . 

She told her problem to us after a long time but her father said that she has to stay here to complete her studies everybody faces problems after coming to a new environment. But later everything becomes normal. Her mother said that I am concerned about my daughter’s feelings and carrier so I encouraged her to take counseling.
