Hadiya Babar

Date: 8^th September 2016

I wasn’t a bright student from the start but I tried again and again and the time came when my efforts finally paid off. I stood first in my class. I was happy but my parents were more excited than me. From that day onwards, I started working hard in my studies to see that happiness on my parents face.

In 8^th Class, I changed my school and got admitted in Hamza Army Public School. It was a good school and helped me learn a lot. In school, teachers do ask about our future plans. In my whole class, I was the one who used to say that I will go for pre-engineering while other mates vote for pre-medical. It’s quite difficult to stand alone with opposite direction than the crowd. But one needs to be confident in their decision.

I scored good marks in matriculation exams and continued my studies in pre-engineering. I worked hard through my FSC-1. I was able to secure 89% marks in HSSC-I. As a consequence, I was made class representative based on my marks. After this, my focus shifted to get myself ready for the NUST entry test. But in second year, I was mostly thinking about universities. I always dreamt of getting into NUST. 

It was my dream to get into NUST. In order to know the pattern of the test and to get the answers of my questions regarding NUST, I gave NET-1. My purpose was achieved. If in my time, FUNG would have been there then I doubt that I had given NET-1. I could have saved 1500/- rupees and bought good sandals. :P

 After giving final board exams, I didn’t turn toward academies like my other mates rather I studied at home. I worked hard to get through NET-3 because it is tougher than NET-1 and NET-2, in my opinion. I secured a good merit number but my dream was to get into chemical engineering batch and I succeeded.

NUST is a place where you can learn a lot apart from studies. It provides you with environment to make you familiar practical life while other universities don’t. I went for different societies to explore myself. There are societies regarding different activities. They help you learn how things work in practical life. I will be starting my fifth semester from 19^th September.
