He added that consistent hard work, coupled with family support and prayers – especially from her grandfather – played a key role in her success. “Hard work never goes to waste. Even in today’s fast-changing, technology-driven world, students who stay focused on their education can achieve their goals,” he noted.
Muneeba called her achievement a moment of pride for her family and province. She said her ambition had always been to achieve something meaningful and make her family proud. Driven by a deep love of books and learning, she pursued CSS as a mission and achieved her goal.
Her success is widely seen as an inspiration to young women, especially in the tribal districts where access to higher education and competitive opportunities remain limited.
