Where there’s a will, there’s a way, Aafreen Shaikh , the daughter of an auto driver has has proved the cliche by scoring 98.31 per cent in the 10 examination conducted by Gujarat Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Board (GSHSEB).
Full of joy her father, Shaik Mohammad Hamza said that he had always wanted her to become a doctor and serve the nation.
“My family and I have always encouraged her to study. I always wanted to make her a doctor and now I expect her to serve the nation,” he said.
A student of FD High School Ahmedabad, Aafreen plans to pursue medicine, as she aspires to become a doctor. “I am indeed delighted with the results I’ve got and plan to take up admission in the science stream. I wish to become a doctor as nobody in my family has pursued this career and I am always inspired by the way doctors help the people heal their wounds,” said Aafreen.
For father, meeting the expenses of his daughter’s education is a struggle due to limited earnings. “I nurture a family of four and will do all that I can to educate my daughter and fulfill her dream of becoming a doctor. We’ve never differentiated between a girl or a male child and I will be the most proud if my daughters study and become independent. I am trying to arrange for financial assistance so that Aafreen can pursue a career of her choice,” said Hamza.
