Following the Bonn International Conference on Afghanistan, the interim administration of Hamid Karzai publicly announced that all interested parties should be admitted to school on the basis of the entrance test for diagnose their placement level. It was a wonderful opportunity for me. I take the test and accept the 7th grade at school. I begin to go to school with enthusiasm because I had perceived that education is the key to an honorable life that I have always dreamed of. In 2002, our family returned to Kabul and I continued to go to school and work part-time in my tailor shop here in Kabul until I completed high school. However, I had to work half the day in addition to going to school, but I shocked everyone with my academic success. I gain more self-confidence and recognize that results and success depend on someone's attitude and determination. I was among the best students, my grades were wonderful, and in 12th grade I graduated as the second best student in my class at Ghazi High School, one of the best schools in Kabul. After finishing high school, I took the Kankor exam and was accepted into Kabul University for civil engineering with a high score (321 out of 360) and graduated first in my class during the year
