My Journey: A Story of Growth and Perseverance
Life is a journey, filled with moments of uncertainty, self-discovery, and growth. For me, this path has been a mix of trials, triumphs, and moments of pure inspiration. Writing about my journey for this blog isn’t just an assignment—it’s a reflection of my truth. Unlike other topics requiring research or references, this is a story I own entirely. Every chapter is a testament to resilience, determination, and the pursuit of dreams.
Beginnings and Challenges
My academic journey began at the prestigious University of Karachi—a place I had once dreamt of joining. However, my assigned field, Botany, wasn’t my first choice. I initially felt out of place, but soon I found myself embracing the opportunities it offered. From participating in seminars on environmental protection to organizing events and contributing to meaningful social projects, I made the most of my time there.
Eventually, life presented an opportunity to pivot. After much contemplation, I decided to follow my passion for technology. I enrolled in Mohammad Ali Jinnah University (MAJU) as a Computer Science major, leaving behind a familiar environment for a field that excited me deeply. Transitioning wasn’t easy, but it was a leap of faith that set the tone for my future endeavors.
Growth Beyond the Classroom
While academics shaped a significant part of my story, my extracurricular and professional engagements truly enriched my experience. Over the years, I’ve taken on roles that have allowed me to grow as a leader and contribute meaningfully to various causes.
- Social Media Management: I’ve worked for over a year and a half as a Social Media Manager, honing my skills in branding and digital outreach.
- Rah-e-Qamar: Starting as a Social Media Member in 2023, I rose to Social Media Head in 2024, leading their global event, NASA Space Apps Challenge (Karachi), with pride and dedication.
- Pakistani Women in Computing (PWIC): I became the Branding Lead for this local community, promoting women’s empowerment in tech.
- ACM-MAJU: As the PR Head, I’ve contributed to event organization and outreach while building a strong professional network.
Through these experiences, I’ve also participated in countless events, from career counseling seminars to environmental campaigns, each leaving a mark on my journey.
A Message to My Readers
