“Anas’ first position has made all of us proud,” his father, Muhammad Habib,
said on SAMAA TV programme Naya Din on Monday.
Habib, has been selling newspapers in buses near Empress Market for the past 50
years. “With meager wages, educating Anas was a difficult task which cost
Rs70,000-80,000 annually,” he said.
“I would give credit to my wife and my daughter who made educating Anas easy for
me. They earned money by stitching clothes and giving tuitions, equally
contributing in the finances for his education,” Habib added.
Anas completed his schooling from a private school and then joined Tabani’s
College. Initially, a science student, Habib shifted to commerce in his first
year of the intermediate which made his father a little doubtful of his result,
the topper said.
“My first position, however, cleared all his fears and inhibitions,” he said.
Talking about his study routine, Anas said that hard work was the key player in
his success. “I studied extra hours late at night and did not go to coaching
centres, nor took help from tuition teachers. My mother and sister were my
teachers, they helped me whenever I got stuck,” he shared.
“Anas was a good and responsible student,” said his sister Hina. “He studied not
only from the course books but also took notes from other reference books,” she
remarked.
While talking about his education plans for the future, Anas said that he has
taken admission in CA and plans to take his CSS exams.
