School you studied at?
Johar Foundation High School, Faisal Town.

Most memorable school moment?
A sudden holiday when we reached the gate of the school.

Subject you dreaded the most?
Math.

Ever skip class? Why?
I skipped many classes just to get rid of homework.

Favorite teacher and why?
Miss Ghazal was my favorite teacher because she was very stylish. She used to do acrylic nails and colorful nail polish. I got this beauty hack of applying colorful nail paint from her.

One piece of school advice you still follow?
I wish to follow that advice today as well, but unfortunately I couldn’t, and that is to study harder and try to improve my Math and English.

What would you do differently if you went back to school?
I would like to improve my studies along with other extracurricular activities.

Straight-A student or class clown?
Both. I was funny, and everyone liked me.

Most valuable lesson learned outside school?
You need to have experience in everything.

Did school ever hold you back?
Yes. Many times they passed me with grace marks when I was failing in a subject, just so my year wasn’t wasted.

How did you stay motivated during tough times?
I need money to stay motivated.

Craziest thing to avoid homework?
I had many funny stories. I “died” my grandma even though she was alive just to skip homework. Rather, I loved doing summer vacation work.

Dream job school didn’t prepare you for?
School prepared me for my job. I participated in dramas, acting, and school dance events. I pursued my career from there.

How did school shape your career?
My principal liked me so much and appreciated my work. She made me feel that I could be exceptional in acting and sometimes gave me gifts for my acting.

If you could teach one subject, what would it be?
Home economics.

One thing schools should teach that they don’t?
