Interests / quote

I entered the university life as a student who was always interested and curious but not exactly an ambitious person. When people around me used to tell what they want to become, I always thought about how it felt to have a dream and clear goals in front of you. The only thing I wanted to do was to select a challenging field to test my limits, and FAST BSCS proved to be perfect in this way. In Matric and even in FSc, I never took computer subjects and wanted to get into an engineering field, this all seemed impossible, but now when I look back it is as if Allah had planned this for me. When I first started the degree, I was completely new to the world of computers, where as everyone around me had strong basic knowledge and were proficient in the skills. I never claimed myself to be an intelligent person, but I could seriously feel myself lacking and as a result frustrated with myself. If everyone was at level 4 than I would have probably been a level 0. I struggled hard to keep up during first three semesters. People usually say that hard work and dedication leads to success, and I fully agree with this as hard work is what led me to where I am now Alhamdulillah. FAST has played a very important role in preparing me to be ready to face the world by providing such a supportive environment where I was able to flourish, develop skills in all aspects of computer science, and make friends along the way. What started as a challenge, has now become my passion. Me being an un-ambitious person, having equal to zero knowledge related to the field of Computer Science, now being able to stand here today was only possible with prayers and mercy of Allah. This was not an easy journey but the platform and continuous support from FAST made it worth it. Now being in the final semester and seeing the end in front of me, I am ready to start a new chapter in my life by making a career in this industry. I’m passionate about contributing in the society from what knowledge I have earned and the support I have received.
