Amin, a student of Muslim Educational Institute Pampore and a resident of Pampore town in south Kashmir, credited her teachers for the success, saying she wants to shine in every sphere of life.
“This is a small success in life. I want to shine in every sphere of life-social as well as professional. My first
priority would be to see my parents happy,” Bushra said.
“Coaching classes only helped me to complete certain portions of my curriculum but real supporters were my school
teachers as they would treat me with affection like their own sibling,” she said.
