I am the only girl to have a Matriculation certificate in a village so vast that it is 170Km away from the district Headquarters. I used to attend school, travelling on foot with my brother, that was 2.5Km away from our village because it was the nearest one we had. After Matric, I decided to teach the children of my village so that they would not have to walk so far daily in scorching heat. I collected a few logs and erected a small structure with shade.
Everyday around 30 children came to my school in order to learn from 9am to 1pm, even though it was not a registered school. I utilized my old textbooks to teach them. As I had no formal training, I tried mimicking the way my teachers had taught me.
Prompted by my enthusiasm, my father arranged a blackboard along with chalks for me, so that I could teach more effectively. But the happiest day of my life was yet to come when my school was discovered by people heading a project for Balochistan, and we were selected for the construction of a new primary school.
I had to take exams conducted by the organization to become a teacher. I failed at my first attempt but passed the second attempt with flying colors. My dream has finally come true and my students will now have proper classrooms and desks to study in. it has guaranteed a new direction for my own enthusiasm for education.
