Masoom Raza told Awaz-the Voice on the phone that he is feeling “proud and very happy.” “I used to work till late at night to achieve my goal. I have studied for hours after waking up in the night. I want to become a software engineer because I have a dream of working in this field.”
He has studied at Sugia Upgraded High School and has taken tuition from a coaching class in his village.
Masoom Raza said he thinks that education is the only power that can earn one respect, as he is getting today after his result. It can raise the status of a family in society. “I used to go to tuition every day after school and that helped me perform better.”

I will leave no stone unturned to get them higher education, make them keep moving ahead and achieve whatever he wants to.... and what can I say, I am very happy.”
