Fly I Must | Afreen Mushtaq | TEDxIBA

This talk focuses on the power of determination, despite the hurdles one faces. For obstacles compel one to become independent and help build courage to go against the tide. It highlights how dreams can turn true if one stays true to their cause. The speaker shares her inspiring journey from the slums of Karachi to the Institute of Business Administration (IBA), Karachi, the most prestigious business school of Pakistan.
Afreen Mushtaq is a sophomore at the Institute of Business Administration (IBA), Karachi. She is a National Talent Hunt Program (NTHP) Scholar, currently enrolled in the Bachelors of Business Administration degree program. She is the face of Pakistani society where women have the courage to bring about change. Afreen Mushtaq is a student at the Institute of Business Administration, Karachi. She is pursuing her degree in Bachelor of Business Administration. She is an IBA National Talent Hunt Program scholar that enables her to continue her education on a 100% scholarship. She graduated from an not-for-profit school. In 2015, her hard work and dedication led her to become a “school representative” and was sent to the USA. She finds herself indebted to the society for the hurdles it placed in her way. She believes that these hurdles played an important role in making her strong and independent because they compelled her to gather the courage to go against the tide. Her being rebellious towards the obstacles has now become a part of her. This thought inculcates in her a sense of giving back to the community.
Afreen is the face of Pakistani society today where women have the courage to bring about change. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

True words! 'Khwaab tab tak nahin marte jab tak tum khud unka galaa na ghont do'... Guys be optimistic, never loose hope, either you will reach other side of the river or u will keep struggling with the flowing water... But in midst during ur journey u will learn several new things, various skill sets which will widen the possibilities of opportunity, and u will be here a better version of ur self...I personally think we should not stick to one thing in our life... As we definitely like a 'dynamic personality' so make ur dream- Dynamic...
