"My younger sister says that I am her role model. I smile back because it was never a smooth ride. I was a college drop out, not by choice but because I had no choice. Life was playing its unfair bit those days. Then there came a day when things changed and I decided to go back to getting education at the age of 22, as a mature student. My focus was on achieving my goal to become a Podiatrist. The term hadn't even been heard in Pakistan by the time I was studying day and night in UK to become one. Despite being offered highly paid job opportunities in Britian, I decided to come back. I had to return what this soil had given me. My country needed my skills more. I wanted to help people from losing their limbs as a consequence of diabetes. I wanted to help the amputees live a better and fuller life without having to feel any less than the others. I wanted them to feel how much more beauty life had to offer them. I came back and started my career as the first and only Podiatrist. The ride is still not smooth. The journey is challenging and tiresome but I know that I cant stop walking. Because if I do, my patients will too."
