The superior Girl Iqbal Al _asaad joins Medical College in the 12th
No longer Iqbal Ahmed Assad, the youngest winner of secondary certificate (high school grade 12)in Lebanon only.
The Palestinian girl ,only twelve
years, which honored by Minister of education Khalid Qabbani at the UNESCO
Palace waked up to find many scholarships to complete her education .
But what is to win the case of Iqbal political dimension?
Iqbal got a grant from the former minister, Abd Al-Rahim Murad at the Lebanese International University », Iqbal rejected the offer, because there is no Medicine Section in the university, but for the Faculty of Pharmacy, and I want to be a doctor ».
She adds : "In his turn Minister Qabbani said that he would provide me study at the American University in Beirut or any other University to be trained in medicine, they 'll give me ten million lire start, and later by the (MP) Saad Hariri educational order ... »
So scholarships ranged between Hariri foundation , which has a reputation of the martyr Rafik Hariri before he was in power and which, and the former Minister Murad ambitions of political figures (the latest entry in the competition »is prime ministry), which placed him in the quarrel with Hariri.
But the matter did not stop at this point. as (Secretary of the Fatah Movement in Lebanon), Sultan Abul Einein to unearth them passports because they want to be taken on a trip to Tunisia »,
the mother says that there has been no shortage of enthusiasm all the time, pointing out "we have done, their mind and passports and now we are waiting for them to determine the date ».
Offers may not be Yugoslavia is the final outcome of "miracle» Iqbal and superiority academic journey, are still in their infancy, especially after someone asked her»of the family to acquire their own telephones to receive calls from <concerned» henceforth!
In fact, her house in the heart of town Barelias, Beqaa, live rush after the first day of honor, the joy of superiority not only the joy of the mother. which prides itself on what it did produce a lot of boys, only four, with the Palestinians, like many children », boasting as "Abola (spoil name ) from her father, and excellence in school and not in Lebanese UNRWA».
However, the superiority of Iqbal denies it had not heard among the famous mothers :
"never make a move at home and never give a hand , if Badha (wants) drink say Dad iskini(give me water».
Iqbal does not speak much, and the answer very briefly, but that the answer to the question on the journey from childhood to excellence in childhood also, the more smooth and coherent, suggesting that they have often said : In the age of two-and-a-half I knew 50 word translation from Arabic to English and vice versa. In three and a half registered in the same class as the first kindergarten, then second, then I read the newspaper and the Koran.
In fifth , director brings me to the fifth grade to read the lesson of its students reading.
Registered directly in the second grade primary and moved it to the fourth and then the sixth and then fourth intermediate (Brevet).
I didn't pass the official exam (brevet)when I was nine years.
At the age of ten I passed it and then registered in the first secondary class in the and then in biology class ». Iqbal did not seem tense from the idea of entering the university, at the age of 19 years , and they do not feel I am different, nice and normal fashion, and certainly i will get along with others ».
In the town Iqbal (with islamic veil) plays with her mates. She started praying recently .She plays «with the children of blindness football, Basket, in front of the house and how we remember.
I mean, when we were playing home houses, and I want to say Baddi 9eer Dr.-wanted to be DR. ». Iqbal did not see the dream away, at 11 years become a regular medicine student and will have done it at age 23 years. However, I would have become a doctor in less than this much ».
