I could not be more proud as a father. Thank you for setting your own goals and breaking them – the embodiment of knowing what you want and going for it. Thank you for not settling. Thank you for being you – your brilliance, resilience, and hard work.”

Congratulations to her. May Allah continue to grant her more achievements in life, Aameen.
Congrats to the young lady.
Having said that, could someone say who got the best grade from the state sector so that we can put things into context and acknowledge what helicopter parenting can do?
No wonder the new UK Government is now taxing private schools to spend more on state schools. In addition, Universities and employers are taking closer looks at contextual grades. Surely a 2B Grade from a state schooler with a challenging social background is worth a 1A from a Private schooler.
