A Story of Resilience

Nida is a graduate of DIL Madina Colony School. Her father was addicted to drugs and used to beat his wife and daughters. Since Nida was keen to study and had dreamt of becoming a doctor since childhood, her mother decided to send her to school while her father was out of the house. The moment her father discovered she was attending school, he beat her. And one day, he hastily arranged her marriage to an uneducated boy for money. Nida resisted, so the beatings became more and more frequent. Yet she never lost hope. After gracefully overcoming these obstacles with the help of her mother, sisters, and DIL teachers, Nida finally tasted success. She has now been working at a prestigious civil hospital for the last 3 years as a physician. Incredibly, she has cured her once broken father of his drug addiction. Today, he assists his daughter at her private clinic in the evenings, proud to be the father of Dr. Nida Ishaq.
