Suva Muslim College Overall Outstandin­g Student and Year 13 Dux Faaizah Ali exemplifie­s what hard work can achieve.

She said after the school prizegivin­g ceremony yesterday that the hard work she’d put in for the past four years had paid off immensely.

“I feel very happy and I have actually been working hard for the past few years so I think I did a good job,” she said.

Faaizah plans to further her education at the University of the South Pacific and hopefully attain a bachelor’s degree in arts. She also acknowledg­ed her parents for being a source of inspiratio­n.

“They were helping throughout my education and they never pressured me to do household chores. My parents were my biggest inspiratio­n,” she said.

“I found high school to be a challenge in itself. I am sure many students would agree it’s not an easy job to be doing high school. It is strenuous.”

She is also the school head girl; however, she said her duties did not interfere with her studies.

“I don’t think it was challengin­g to juggle the duties of a head girl and concentrat­ing in my studies. The head boy and the other leaders carried out their duties diligently,” she said.

Faaizah’s message to other students was: “The path to success never ends so work hard and achieve your dreams.”
