 Being born in Dera Ismail Khan and spending all my life in the humble yet not so small city I was 
 always overwhelmed by how I would fare in such a complicated world. In my 10th grade in our 
 small APS school we had a visit of two software engineers and they gave breath to my passion of 
 becoming a computer scientist, becoming an inspiration for other girls like me who knew and had 
 seen so little of the world yet had the will to face it.  
 When I got admission in FAST, it was like stepping into the perfect proxy of the real world and a 
 proactive environment. The most challenging experience yet the comfort of home always there. 
 Skills being tested, grown, and judged to all limits were not merely helpful in sharpening my edge of 
 programming but also my personality. Through interactions with my sub-ordinates I was able to 
 realize that people from different areas of life aren’t that different. It gave me the confidence to 
 speak out for myself and not to undermine who I am. When I could not afford the financial costs of 
 this degree, FAST gave me the opportunity to stay focused on my studies instead of worrying about 
 the finances to afford my education. I was provided with a 100% student loan by the FAST Interest 
 Free Study Loan program to facilitate my degree. 
 FAST gave me an identity. Whenever someone asked me I was proud to say that I am studying 
 computer science from FAST. There were a lot of times when I had to muster up all my courage to 
 overcome an obstacle. I realized that by working hard you can meet any standard. Set by the 
 highest of institution.
