About Me — Fareha Riaz
A medical student, an enthusiastic writer, and someone determined to survive the harshness of life and pave her path to success while helping others in any way possible.
Hello! Pretty people how are you all? I hope you’re all doing great.
My name is Fareha Riaz and it’s my story. So let me shed some light on my life.
A Little Introduction
As I’ve mentioned above I’m a medical student so technically I’m going to pursue it as my profession. My parents are great people (everyone’s parents are great). My father is a doctor and my mother holds a master’s degree. I also have a little sister. So I’m one of those blessed children whose parents value education and professionalism greatly. They have high expectations of me, especially my father who has a great love for medicine and always wished I would become a doctor so here I am fulfilling his wish. With that said I want to just clarify it’s not like I have no interest in medicine and am only pursuing it for the sake of my parents I choose it myself. It’s just that I could have been more thoughtful at that time when I decided to pursue medicine. But let’s not get into that story now I will write about it separately.
My Passion
So, now let’s talk about my passion for writing and how I discovered it. Ever since my school times, I had always shown great interest in penning my thoughts, I had written several stories, and essays back then and won a lot of competitions. Somehow even then writing was something that fascinated me the most.
I might sound crazy but whenever I’m free my brain gets bombarded with a lot of thoughts and questions. The only solution I’ve found to it is writing about my perspective on how I perceive different things, and what my take on different issues is. It eases my thought process and helps me to stay in a peaceful state. That’s one of the reasons I choose to publish my work on MEDIUM and pursue my passion.
I would write about anything that interests me. But I prefer to write about thought-provoking topics, diversity, love, life experiences, parenting, education, and creativity to be precise. I know I’m not the best but I sure am in the process to be one, we all are aren’t we? The second reason I choose a public platform to showcase my work is that it will hone my skills as a writer and I can get your opinions.
Reading Books
Besides writing, I cherish reading books and have a great love for traveling. I mostly read books that motivate me to excel in life, books that are related to human psychology, and novels(I read any novel that has a promising story and manages to captivate me).
Traveling
Coming to traveling, I have not traveled a lot but I have a great desire for it. I hope to travel to all the beautiful places in the world. Specifically, the beauty of nature fascinates me and I believe nature can touch one’s soul.
Music
I have a great love for music, I do not prefer any specific kind of music. It’s all good as long as it pleases my ears, the lyrics are meaningful, and relaxes my mind. But among the musical instruments, I do love the violin, in my opinion, the violin produces the most beautiful and soothing music. I’m addicted to hearing tunes of my favorite songs being played on the violin. If I ever get a chance I would love to learn to play the violin.
My Daily Life
Are you guys still here? Oh, thank goodness I hope you are. Let me just tell you about my daily life besides reading books I like to play chess and scrabble, and do planting occasionally. My daily life is that of a regular student but I would like to share something I try to daily practice in my life helping others whenever I can. Since I had to go through depression once in my life and I still struggle sometimes but what I’ve learned from my experiences is that life just goes on it might take some time to get back to normal but eventually, we all can overcome our fears and succeed. I try to help people around me in any possible way, whether by listening to their problems, motivating them, cheering them up, or supporting them in any possible way. It is the third reason for me to be here, I don’t want to see people suffering. If I can reach people through writing and convey to them my perspective through it then why not? I want people to resonate with my writing.
My Goals In Life
Well, I’m still in the process of setting my goals in life. But here are some that I’m certainly clear about;
- Generating passive income and being independent because I just can’t wait to get my medical license and then find a job. Many people are doing it and if they can do it I can also do it.
- Developing new skills and learning continuously. I’ve been working on it subconsciously for a long time without even realizing its importance. But now since I know how much weightage skills hold in this digital world, it has become a part of my learning process.
- Helping others. It has always been my goal to help others. The world is already suffering in different ways, so we should help as many people as we can. Many people are just in need of hearing some kind words. Many people are suffering from mental health issues and need motivation along with management. We can provide that.
- Traveling. It’s one of my biggest dreams to travel around the world and visit different places. One of the main reasons I want to travel for is sightseeing. Experiencing nature in its true form is pure bliss and I don’t want to miss that.
- I wish to write a book someday. I still have not decided on what topic it would be but I guess it would be about life-changing lessons or something that would help people to succeed in life.
- Making my parents proud I want to make them proud as an established writer. What I mean here is that I wanted to be respected in the writing community. For me being famous is not the same thing as being respected.
- Own a pet dog, more specifically a Husky. I just forgot to mention that I’m in love with animals, especially dogs I just adore them. Although I never had one I just love to interact with them.
What Have I Learned Through My Experiences
I have learned a lot through my first-hand experiences either as a medical student or as a human being. But the essence of all my experiences is that nothing is constant neither success nor failure, so we should learn to be consistent and always keep trying. If you’re going through bad times you should keep in mind that good times will eventually come, if you’re successful be grateful for that. Keep improving because no one is perfect. Even if no piece of work is perfect there is always room for some improvement and learning.
Most importantly never stop keep going on, believe in yourself, and have some patience because hard work eventually pays off.
I hope you guys liked it and have an idea about my approach to life and my personality. I would appreciate your support and love to hear your opinions.
