A Japanese student, Habiba Yasser Qadi, from Al-Shorouk Private School in Dubai, expressed her immense pride in achieving a high ranking among the top students in the national secondary school exams. She emphasized that success and excellence stem not only from external support but primarily from a student’s belief in their abilities and their genuine desire to reach the pinnacle of their potential.
In an interview, Habiba shared that the moment her name was announced among the top performers was one of the happiest moments of her life. Her joy was further amplified when she received congratulations from His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, on the platform “X.” His message was filled with encouraging words for the top secondary school students, reflecting the leadership’s pride in their achievements.
Habiba noted, “The tweet from His Highness was not just words; it was a distinguished certificate of appreciation that made me feel that all my efforts over the years were not in vain. The UAE truly embraces and celebrates its high-achieving youth, appreciating their hard work and accomplishments.”
Looking towards her future academic plans, Habiba expressed her aspiration to study psychology, describing it as a profound field that contributes to understanding human behavior and supporting mental health within individuals and society. She stated, “I believe that education is not limited to traditional subjects; it also includes studying the inner workings of humanity. We need specialists today who understand people’s motivations and help them overcome psychological challenges.”
Habiba acknowledged that the support from her parents played a significant role in her success. They provided her with a stable and nurturing environment throughout her academic journey, offering her guidance, time, and encouragement. “My family is my primary support system, and every achievement I make is a testament to their contribution as much as it is to mine,” she added.
She concluded her conversation with a message to her peers: “Excellence is not achieved by chance; it starts from within every student who holds passion, desire, and sincere intention. Do not wait for someone else to light the path to success; ignite it yourselves.
