It was like a dream come true! Samar and her mother fought all those difficult days, pain and life-threatening moments fiercely and came out shining.

The most challenging phase in their lives is over. With tears of joy and a long hug, the family is now celebrating Samar’s graduation. It was a moment Samar always dreamed about - wearing the graduation gown. Now, she has it. Samar Ali Nasser Al-Sayegh of Al Wafa secondary school for girls graduated from high school with an average of 86%.

Recalling her rough days, Samar said: “I went through a difficult stage in my life years ago, when I was diagnosed with cancer.” “My days were sad. I was depressed and felt lonely.” “I endured those times by clinging on to my faith and kept my patience. What mattered most during those times was the support of my family, she adds. “It encouraged me to overcome the illness.”

She also thankfully remembers the Ministry of Education and the School for all the help.

“They helped me overcome my obstacles by providing all services and facilities. “They ensured that I could continue my studies.” “Now, with God’s grace, I recovered completely.” When asked about her plans, she said, “I will continue my studies at the University of Bahrain in law.” “I always wanted that.”

“My goal is to become a lawyer, and I will work towards fulfilling that dream with determination,” she said with a confidence-inspiring smile.
