I joined Schola Nova in 7th grade. My mother was tired of the fact that I was performing poorly in all my previous 5 schools and she felt individual attention at Schola Nova might be the best option for me. As a kid, I wasn’t super happy about transitioning to a smaller school compared to my previous school. However, it’s not like I had a choice. It turns out that my mother was right. I am immensely grateful to all the teachers that would teach us in class but even more so those that would stay back after school with me to help me practice how to write better, do Math or whatever else I was behind on. The extra personal attention that I got at the school was pivotal for my attitude change towards education. Alhumdullilah, I have been blessed ever since. I graduated from Schola Nova after completing my O-levels. I went on to get a full scholarship for my A levels at one of the best schools in Islamabad. I then studied engineering at NUST Islamabad. After five years of working in the corporate and development sectors, I find myself back in education, doing a Masters in Global Affairs from the University of Notre Dame (USA). Lastly, I just want to thank everyone at the school that helped me get to where I am today.
