I fondly reminisce about my time at Roots School System DHA-1/IVY, where friendships blossomed, dreams soared, and memories were etched into eternity. It wasn’t just a college; it was a nurturing sanctuary that molded not only minds but also hearts, transcending the confines of textbooks. Completing my A-Levels at Roots DHA-1 with distinction, ranking as the top student in North Pakistan across three A-Level subjects, I credit the institution for equipping me with the skills to navigate the complexities of the world beyond its walls. My educational journey continued with a Bachelor’s in Electrical Engineering from NUST, followed by an ongoing Master’s in Electrical Engineering at Information Technology University (ITU) Punjab. These academic pursuits paved the path to my current role as a Systems Engineer (MENA) at Digital Automation Technology in Dubai, UAE. Despite my professional growth, I remain rooted in the values instilled at Roots DHA-1/IVY, where I learned that true learning extends beyond textbooks, shaping not just intellect but also character.
In parallel with my studies, I remained committed to the ethos of RSS DHA-1/IVY, embodying values of empathy, compassion, and community service. I actively participated as a mentor at CHADAR, an initiative dedicated to alleviating poverty. Through CHADAR, my team and I distributed hot meals, ration packs, and clothing to marginalized communities, while also spearheading educational projects that left a lasting impact. CHADAR’s initiatives, focused on poverty alleviation, encompassed various activities such as distributing hot meals, providing ration packs to needy families, clothing distribution, and educational support. In Ramadan 2024, over 4000 hot meals and 300 ration packs were distributed. My efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic were recognized with an honor on the Wall of Covid War Heroes at the Governor House Punjab, acknowledging my charitable contributions.
I extend my wisdom to aspiring young minds embarking on their higher education journey. Each lecture is an opportunity, and every setback serves as a lesson in resilience. Even progress in small steps is forward momentum. Never underestimate the power of your own potential.
