As the final exam results were announced, Ismail jumped for joy while his admired relatives and friends lifted him on their shoulders to show their proudness for his exemplary exam results.
It’s a journey that very few would dare to take, but his incredible result reflected his potential that would help shape his future for good, a goal his parents always think deeply.
"My mum and dad often woke me up at 4 am; I could read from that time and leave for school at 5:30 am. Many a times I’d sleep at midnight after my preps. My teachers motivated me to do my best.” He said.
