Kashmiri girl, who chose Tricity after terrorists entered her school campus, tops Mohali

On Monday, Aieda topped Mohali with 98.6 per cent in the CBSE Class 10, results of which were declared here on Monday noon. A student of The Gurukul, Zirakpur, she aspires to become a doctor as she says that it works well with her belief to “save humanity”.

In 2017, when the child was in DPS school in Kashmir, she was petrified with the unrest. Terrorists had entered the school campus on an off day and were hiding there when an encounter with the forces had broken. Though the children were safe, the terrorists hid inside the building after the ambush.

The continuous unrest hit Aieda’s studies to such an extent that she sat at home for 100 days in a session without attending the school. And then the family realised, that’s not how the child could pursue the dreams of becoming a doctor.

While her eldest daughter is pursuing Class 12 in medical stream in the same school, her mother Usra is also a teacher at the school.

Lauding the “remarkable dedication, perseverance, and academic excellence” of Aieda, her school’s principal Heena Sharma while speaking to The Indian Express said that her achievement reflects the collective efforts of school’s dedicated faculty, supportive parents, and motivated students. “I am immensely proud of Aieda Younis and look forward to witnessing her continued success and contributions to society,” she added.

Aieda, who scored perfect 100 in Mathematics, Science and Information Technology, credited her success to perseverance and hard work. “I believe when you just put in quality hours of study coupled with hard work, you will surely succeed. Even if one revises what is done in the school, that clears your basics and doubts if any.”

She told this correspondent that that her aspiration to become a doctor goes well with her belief: ‘When you save one person, you save humanity’. “And this way I want to serve people and also my parents, when they get old. That is the reason I want to become a doctor,” she concluded.

Meanwhile, Aarush Dhiman of the same school scored 98.4 per cent in the exam, followed by Varishti Garg who secured 98 per cent.

As many as 68 students of the school appeared in the CBSE Class 10 examination, out of which seven students have scored 95 per cent and above, and 17 have secured 90 per cent and above.
