Saima said that she did group studies and went to Delhi for some time where she along with other fellow students prepared for the examinations. Saima attributed her success to the hard work and support of her family. “Hard work and dedication never go to waste. My parents supported me a lot throughout my journey. They were never forceful about my career plans,” she said.
Saima said that it wasn’t an easy task though, adding that besides balancing her work and preparation family issues too were challenging.
“My father suffered a stroke in 2018 and since then he has been bedridden. I had to take care of my siblings and other family members supported me in this. One must have will and determination to succeed in life and shape the dreams," she said.
