“Though I faced some challenges but overcome the same with hard work and concentration,” Miracle told the Excelsior while sharing his journey from Class I to 12th in which he got support of his teachers, family members and friends.
He stressed that consistent hard work and self confidence are key to success and nothing is impossible . Suggesting that books outside the curricula should also be studied for comprehensive knowledge, Miracle opined that there should be no comparison among the students since each one has own capacity and calibre.
“Instead of comparing with others, which only discourages one, we should always encourage for doing better,” added Miracle, who wants to pursue for Graduation.
Asif Gill, father of Miracle, informed that this was not for the first time when his son has excelled as he secured position in class 10th results also and made them proud.
“There was a grief in the family over birth of a visually impaired child, but I was confident that he would do miracle and therefore we named him so. Today we say that he has truly done miracles,” said the proud father while looking at his son.
Asif Gill appealed all parents to focus maximum on studies of their wards and spend maximum for the same as education is the only treasure, which is permanent and no one can snatch it.
Mother of Miracle also spoke to the Excelsior and said that she was thankful to the God for giving them such a brilliant son though his inability to move freely like his brother hurts her.
