Humans of Aga Khan Academy Hyderabad - Mahwash Sarwari

If you could be magically transported to one specific location right now, where would it be?

If I had the opportunity to be magically transported to a specific location right now, it would be Kabul Afghanistan and to be at home with my family.  

What are the top three things you are like about the Academy ?

- The nature 

- The diversity amongst everyone

- The mission and vision of the academy                                                     

What is keeping you focused and positive?

My family- even though we are far away, my family is my source of positivity and encouragement which keeps me focused.  

Biggest cause of frustration/challenge during lockdown?

The only frustration that I have is not being with my family at this moment and not being able to follow a normal schedule that we used to do every day.

Any things you are finding really beneficial about the lockdown?

During this lockdown, we can be creative with whatever we do as we have loads of time in hand. It’s also the best time for a big self-reflection to find your weakness so that you can overcome them one by one and come out strong from this lockdown.

If you had a chance to pass on one piece of advice to your fellow students right now, what would it be?

My message for all those out there is to enjoy the time that you have with your family to the fullest, release all the stress and come back with the best version of yourself.
