Q. Belonging to Multan, our city is the largest in South Punjab and you recently got selected in CSS police group. Please tell us about the start of your.
SS. I belong to a settlement in Multan’s one of the four tehsils. It’s a small town and my father worked as a driver for many years in Bahuddin Zakaria University, Multan. Traditionally girls don’t pursue education, as they mostly stay at home and do household chores. However, I felt a little different and was fond of reading. My father was connected to an educational institution, so he was very eager to educate his children. He would say if my children were to study, he would be a proud father.

At first, I was studying in the street school, I always got high grades. My school recognised my abilities and when I was in the fourth grade, they promoted me to the sixth grade. This was very encouraging. Soon after that we moved to Bahuddin Zakaria University campus and this opened many doors for my education. We got a very good environment and then I got my admission in the university school. Co-curricular activities also became very intense. I participated in sports and the arts and crafts were great.

I achieved a distinction and surprisingly, a banner with my name and picture was displayed in the campus. My father was very proud of me at that very moment. My father amassed funds and got admission in a private school for me in Multan. My ambition was to become a doctor and my mother was sure that this dream will come true. I passed my schooling with flying amd received a scholarship admission Punjab Group of Colleges, Multan. My parents had to pay only 20 rupees as fee, and just this fact made me very happy. Even though I worked hard, and focused only on my studies but still I didn't get admission in medical. This was a time of extreme disappointment. All my friends who were with me got private admissions, but my fathers resources were not enough to support private medical education facility.
