She believes consistent hard work, good time management and a strong support system are part of her recipe for success.
“I am definitely going to miss being around my friends all the time and the good relationship I had with my teachers,” she says.
“But I am looking forward to studying towards a career which I am passionate about and enjoy. I am also excited to be in a new environment and to learn to be independent.”
Faheema wants to contribute to a world which is fully powered by solar energy, and is not reliant on coal to produce electricity.
