A poor girl from Soper Naghama village in Qaziabad tehsil of north Kashmir’s Kupwara district made her family proud securing 489 marks with 11th rank in science stream in the 12th class exams.
Aisha, who comes from a poor family, Her father is barber.
Aishia’s father who runs a barber shop in Sopernaghama has a dream of seeing her daughter become a doctor.
“After I passed 10th class from a Govt High School Sopernaghana with distinction, I set my goal of qualifying NEET. I have seen how my father toils hard for earning livelihood. Aisha said.
Aisha, who anticipated a better rank rather than what she has achieved said that lockdown and low-speed internet had an adverse affect on her preparation.
“Had there been no lockdown and better internet speed, I would have performed better but I am thankful to the Almighty Allah who bestowed me with this rank,” Aisha said.
She said that going to Srinagar for private coaching was overrated and thinks it was not mandatory if one had dedication and strong will power.
“Many of my friends after passing 10th class went to Srinagar for private coaching but they have not secured even 90 percent marks. We have much efficient and dedicated teachers in our district, so why to roam in Srinagar or elsewhere,” Aisha said.
She used to devote six to seven hours for studies every day thinking that is enough to secure a good rank.
Aisha is presently toiling hard for the upcoming NEET examination.
“Since I don’t belong to an influential family, there has not been any doctor from our family. So my family dreams of seeing me wearing a stethoscope,” she said.
Aisha , who is also working hard to qualify the upcoming NEET examination, said that after the lockdown was imposed the last year, they had no idea how to cope up with the situation in terms of studies.
Another girl Nusrat Khazir from Sopernaghama has brought laurels to Government Higher Secondary School MH Pora by securing 490 marks with 10th rank in science stream.
Nusrat who is also working hard to qualify the upcoming NEET examination, said that after the lockdown was imposed the last year, they had no idea how to cope up with the situation in terms of studies.
Nusrat said she has preferred to stay away from social media to focus on studies.
“Doing household chores in the morning tells upon the preparation of female students at large but I still managed to devote six to seven hours to studies every day,” she said.
Principal Government Higher Secondary School M H Pora Manzoor Ah Bhat
credited the teachers for the grand success of these students.
“During lockdown our teachers delivered online classes and also prepared study material for the students which paved way for their success,” he said.
