00:00 Mahnoor Cheema, a 16-year-old Pakistani resident in Britain, set a world record in the field of education and made his country proud.
00:07 He was successful in the 34 subjects of O Level with high grades.
00:12 We know more about this from our representative in London, Aftab Beg.
00:16 I am with Mahnoor Cheema, who has made Pakistan proud at the international level and has achieved an individual status in education.
00:27 We are talking to Mahnoor Cheema.
00:30 Mahnoor, first of all, congratulations on this great achievement from ARY.
00:38 And secondly, how did you start your interest in education?
00:42 There are only two things in my family, my childhood, and one is character and the other is education.
00:48 So, my parents have always been very interested in education because they are educated on both the familial sides.
00:56 My mother's two brothers are civil servants in Pakistan and my grandfather is an MNAV.
01:02 So, everyone's education is at a high level.
01:05 Okay, the educational environment can be seen in different places and in different groups.
01:11 What was the difference that made you reach this great position that you set a world record?
01:18 Passion and planning.
01:20 I had a lot of passion to do something for humanity.
01:24 So, I had thought from an early age that I would set a record and take some educational achievement at a high level.
01:31 You have passed 34 subjects, which is a very big number.
01:35 And if you look at the average, children do not even pass 4-5 subjects.
01:41 How did you do all this?
01:45 I just managed my time effectively and I did not waste time effectively.
01:53 So, I had to work at school, I had piano requirements, horse riding, and I had a lot of extra curricula.
02:00 So, I managed my time effectively.
02:02 And the British education system, where children usually reach in the 11th year, they do GCSE.
02:10 You have passed more than half the subjects in the 10th year. How did this happen?
02:15 Because I knew that in the 11th year, there would be a lot of timetable clashes, which is why I had to leave a lot of subjects.
02:23 So, to avoid those timetable clashes, I finished half the subjects in the 10th year.
02:28 And what was this number? How many subjects did you do? Tell us in detail.
02:32 I did 17 subjects in the 10th year and I did 17 this year as well.
02:36 And what were the subjects? What were your main subjects at that time?
02:40 At that time, Latin, Economics, Psychology, Sociology, Classical Civilization, History, Geography, Statistics, Commerce.
02:48 And the rest of the subjects, 17, you did in the 11th year. What were your main subjects?
02:55 Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Astronomy, French, German, Film Studies, Drama, Textiles, ICT.
03:03 Wow! Tell us how do you do justice with your subjects? What is your favorite subject?
03:09 My favorite subject is Maths. I finished all the varieties of Maths because I have a lot of passion for Maths.
03:16 But my true interest, which drives me to do this in the future, is Medicine and Sciences particularly.
03:24 There are a few people in the world who have achieved very high positions in IQ.
03:32 One of them is Einstein, who has 160 marks.
03:42 You are one of the few people who have achieved 161 marks. Tell us about that.
03:49 I gave a MENSA IQ test in 14 years and I scored 161.
03:55 Einstein never got an official score, but what do you know that he scored 161?
04:00 How do you feel when you are achieving so many honors?
04:05 What is your intention? Do you want to make a name for yourself in the world of honors?
04:12 I want to use these achievements and use my platform for good.
04:18 What is your goal? In which field do you want to make your future?
04:23 In Medicine. And I want to further humanity.
04:27 Do you have a message for your community, students and colleagues?
04:34 I want to say to everyone, but particularly young girls, that I hope they can look at my achievements and think that if you want to achieve something,
04:43 never move behind from your targets. Always make a target, stick to it and achieve what you want to do.
04:50 As you heard, Mahnoor was telling us how her journey of success has been completed and continues.
04:59 These are the kind of children who, outside the country or inside the country,
05:04 make their country and nation proud on the basis of their hard work.
