"I have been through a lot of hardships in my life; lost my father just before I got admission at NUST. Although it’s tougher to go through mixed emotions, on one hand I lost my father and on the other I was blessed with the opportunity to attend NUST. With an income of seven thousand per month it was impossible for me to get into NUST. I decided to leave education and started looking for a job but my mother didn’t let me do that. She took loans from people of my village and managed my admission fee. Where my house had seven thousand per month, loans from the village got me through my first semester; I wonder what gave my mother the courage to do so. When my friends here at NUST used to discuss the next day’s futsal match, in the back of my mind was the question of how I would put food on my table, how I would pay my second semester fee.
I never took a single penny from my mother after I got admission at NUST. Only Allah knows what work/jobs I had to go through to meet my expenses. The PM laptop and need-based scholarship made it easier. My mother doesn’t know that I am doing a job; she thinks that the money I send to her every month is a scholarship I am getting from somewhere. I have one thing and one thing on my mind, to make my mother free of those burdens that time has enforced on her.
My mother has been the greatest and the only driving factor which has made me come so far on this journey. I would like to share the words she said to me when I decided to abandon my education “ beta mein unparh hun beshak, laikin aaj mujhe ahsas horha hay k taleem ki kia ahmiyat hay. Mein agar taleem yafta hoti tou meray jigar k tukron ko aj mazduri krny ka sochna na parhta. mein qarza lungi logun say, ghar bech dungi laikin tmhy taleem say dur nae krungi takay kal ko tmhy qarza na lena parhy apny bachon ko parha likhanay k liye”

So my message to everybody is, never ever let the hurdles in your life stop you from progressing. God only helps those who help themselves."
