Before I start I must tell this past week was very intense
for me and seriously depressing so I was looking forward to new and 3rd
day/Milestone of TCF’s Rahbar program. This ‘Milestone’ was about two real life
heroes who from very humble beginnings made it big. This day was about their
stories and how they dreamed to get education and how education made the
difference in their lives. I needed to hear them out; I needed to learn a thing
or two because even though I tend to work hard, I give in easily at times too.
So this day was not about just the hero speakers and kids but about me and
other mentors as well.
Winters have arrived finally and Lahore’s very cold so
getting up at 6 am in the morning is the hardest thing for me to do but this
was one day where I just had to do it and make it there because I was anxious. It
was exactly when I got to Model Town’s TCF office that I met two Hero speakers
‘Zubair Sameer’ and ‘Humaira Sardar’ who made it there courtesy of a friend;
Maham as she arranged everything for Nurpur campus. I think around 10 am we
were all at Nurpur campus and all groups consisting of kids and mentors now
were gathering up at terrace where we were to listen to both Zubair and
Humaira, about them, what they do their lives, their humble beginnings and their
fights with whatever the life had to throw at them. It was great. It wasn’t
just about the kids but about us mentors too.


In the end, this day was special and I needed this
motivational uplift myself. I must admit that no matter what I do and how much
I try to connect with kids every week, these two did it quite easily because in
these two heroes speakers, they saw fighters who fought battles day and day out
and never gave up. I don’t know if I can do it but I need to learn a lot from
them.
