Shahadu Elham, a brilliant 15-year-old girl from a humble background got admission to study Medicine at the University for Professional Studies.

Photos of Shahadu's particulars making rounds on social media confirm that she graduated from the Ahmadiyya Senior High School where she studied General Science and got 4A1's, 3B2's and 1B3.

After bagging the brilliant grades, Shahadu could not afford to continue her education despite getting admitted to study Medicine because her father is unemployed and her mother only sells sachet water to make ends meet.
