With her proud mother

It is an eye opener for many a youth who squander away their resourceful youth away . Stacy Rodrigues has forged ahead into the field that many fear to venture into. Diagnosed with Heredomascular degeneration at the age of 14, Stacy found herself grow into darkness with all avenues closing for her. I remember her as a cheerful youth who never missed the Choir practise with her sister. She never missed an opportunity to sing even if it was during her journey from Betalbatim to Margao in the bus. Even if Goa College of music didnt see the artist in her , she was focused and went ahead to complete her Diploma in Radio Management from the Academy of Broadcasting.

What a team? her proud mother always stood by her and Stacy in turn was a moral support to her mother in their testing times. 

TOUGH TMES DONT LAST , TOUGH PEOPLE DO so very true. a new chapter had dawned in Stacy's life . During her journey through rejection and loneliness , she had penned down her some poems where she expresses a lot of her emotions. A book consisting a compilation of 48 poems written  during Stacy's struggle can be an inspirational addition to anyones  collection.

Her exhibition has proved that you dont need larger  , well renowned platforms to showcase your talent, but God sends some kind heart angels if your determination to work hard towards you goal is stronger than your weakness.
