Coming into FAST-NUCES, I never thought I would grow and change so much not only in my 
academics, but also holistically as a person. As I write my graduating note for this high-achiever 
directory, I am going through a wonderful journey of memories and learning that has made me who 
I am today. 
I always had my aim set on doing Computer Science, and everyone I knew advised me to go to the 
very best university that has excelled in this field for decades. With a word of caution that the 
academic life at NUCES is going to be tough and enduring, I set out on my journey despite everyone 
saying that you won’t be able to get a good GPA or enjoy your university life as everyone else does.  
My four years here allowed me to hone my work ethic and gives me this great confidence that not 
only I can survive in a place competitive than I have known before, but I can also excel there. With 
the constant support of my parents, my friends, and some of the best teachers from the university, 
I managed to consistently ace my studies. Managing my work-life balance allowed me to learn to 
work hard and stay focused on my goals. 
Participating in the Google Summer of Codes 2021 Program and managing that alongside my 
university academics have been the highlights of my time here, and it showcases not only my 
capacity to work hard and endure for long but to stay committed and consistent in my 
performance. This is something that I could only learn from NUCES, and I will always be thankful for 
this.
