Wao! What an inspirational story!! By the way, Who is your inspiration Azhar?
To be honest, instead of looking for role models, I try to become one and even I’m working hard day and night for it. I would love to be an inspiration for people around me, for people struggling, for people with big goals, for people with big dreams, and for people with strong determination to succeed.
Unique answer! How did you get to know the problems faced by the Teachers during the pandemic? And How did you got an idea to Teach the Teachers?
Before answering this question, I want to make it crystal clear that I never taught teachers; rather I had just helped them all by sharing my knowledge to tackle the problems faced by them. I don’t think I’m capable to Teach Teachers. But Yeah! I can help them by being a student or being their son and that is what I did.
Well, Teachers are the most knowledgeable scholars in their respective subjects but sadly, when they are introduced to a new world (Technology) suddenly, then most of them usually end up facing problems and issues. My parents are also Teachers, so I actually knew it better that how much do Teachers have to struggle to cope up with Computers and Technology. Soon the pandemic began and work from home started; almost all the teachers were introduced to the Technology (Online Teaching). And soon after that, I started receiving calls, emails, DMs from many teachers asking for solutions for various problems that they were facing. That is how I got an idea to help all the teachers in need rather than just helping a few who had asked. And that’s how my initiative was born, and more than 4000 teachers joined my training sessions and got benefitted from whatever knowledge I had. And still, the Training sessions are going on.
Wao! That’s Great Azhar! So what response you got back from the Teachers?
Well, responses/ feedbacks doesn’t matter to me much because whenever I help somebody, I believe in helping them selflessly so their blessings are what actually matters to me a lot. So Yeah! I got all positive responses from all of them but I was on cloud nine when I received blessings and good wishes from each one of them. All of them appreciated my initiative, many applauded me for my hard work whereas few even said that I can be an inspiration to all the students of my age and younger than me.
So finally, what inspirational message you want to give to the Youth?
I think the youth of this generation has defined Technology in their own definitions and are following those self-made definitions which are resulting in many problems and failures in their life. Nowadays, every young student is having a smartphone/laptop but most of them are using them for chatting, gaming, and surfing. They are unaware of the feats they can achieve with the proper and positive usage of Technology. So I want to appeal to the youth to make use of Technology adequately, to learn various programming languages, to play with the Technology to improve it rather than wasting time in playing Video games.
Today, the definition of a Smart person is changed. The one who is brilliant in Technology is the one who is called Smart nowadays. So I just want all the youngsters of my nation to be called Smart and that is only possible when Youngsters will understand the importance of Information Technology and will take interest in pursuing their dreams in this field.
