From
Muhammad Khalid Farooqui ,
Karachi, Pakistan. Age; 62 years
I belongs to a lower middle class Muslim family. I am second
amongst nine children.
My father was a mediatory Qualified person and works in a construction
co. My mother was though not much qualified but she belongs to a family of
highly qualified persons, and this helped my brothers and sisters very much as
education was in her inheritance.
As per sayings of my mother, education in children is quite
necessary as it is “The Key of the success “ and an educated man is the symbol
of “ good going and governance of a society “.
Our School was at a very far distant from our home, at first
we have to walk five to six kilometers to reach a Railway Station. On train we
travel to an another station and thereafter we require to walk two kilometers more,
and thus finally we reaches to our school before eight (8)O’ Clock daily.
We were three(3) brothers studying in school , looking at
our difficulties in going to school and back, our father decided to take us at
least up to the railway station on his only bicycle for certain period . But
there was a problem, as we only two brothers could sit on the front Rod of the bicycle,
as no rear carrier was available in our bicycle. We resolved this problem in a
way that one of our brother goes out and start running on the known path
towards the railway station, by finishing his breakfast earlier, and as soon as
we catch him by our bicycle , an another brother start running in his place .
As soon as he feels tired the third brother takes his place. This way we saves
time in reaching the railway station and to catch the train in time.
At the time of paying school fees, we passes our time in a
very tense situation both at school and home. My mother, as soon as she gets some money for Groceries
, Vegetable , medicine , or for any sort of necessities , she use to pay
the school fees in the first instance , though due to her this attitude she
suffers a lot ,and at a later stage faces many unlike sentences from all the
sides ,Nevertheless, in a quite hard and tense atmosphere we did not give up,
and slowly and gradually we continued studying, as a result of which, now a
days we all nine (9) brothers and sisters are sufficiently qualified.
Nearly all of we did good jobs and achieved success by
facing all the circumstances and with our stable attitude we achieved good name
in our locality and set example.
We educated our own children up to their satisfaction and
grown them up in a way, so that they can become a man of positive attitude and
could become beneficial for their society and their country.
In short one should not give up, whatever the situation or,
circumstances may be, and by all means he should continue education as it is
really “the key of success” and also teaches the way how to achieve good name
in his society.
