Zoya To Follow Cooking Passion

Kamil Muslim College Best Vocational student Zoya Shazmin Nisha was one of six students to have graduated from the vocational programme.

The 18-year-old received a $200 shopping voucher from Jack’s of Fiji and a uniform set from the school.

“I’m really excited that I was giv­en this award by Kamil Muslim College and I will try to go further to study to maybe become a chef,” she said.

Her vocational cookery pro­gramme is for one year and cov­ered all facets of her dream ca­reer.

“It’s a different feeling when you are up there receiving your award, but it feels like all your hard work and sacrifice was worth it and I don’t have a specific skill that I fa­vour because I like cooking. Next year I plan to go to USP,” she said.

Her father Tazim Ali, 42, said he was grateful that his daughter could enjoy the fruits of her la­bour.

“I feel very good and she has made us proud today because she is the oldest in the family and will be a good example to the two young ones at home,” he said.

“She worked hard and it’s a good feeling to see my daughter up there because we always sup­ported her and we will continue supporting her.”
