Hasan Mahmud Rubel :
“What is the outcome to educate a lame boy? It is fruitless, rather, throw him on a footpath, so that he can earn money by begging.” Amidst such harsh words from his early age, the boy has grown up, but instead of begging, the boy dreamt of bright days.
Since his childhood, the boy wanted to be a teacher. Being a teacher, he wants to wipe out the darkness of illiteracy. His vision is to serve the country as well as the nation heartily. Although his dream halted over and again, he realized the cruel truth that he was physically disabled and of the sleazy economic condition of his family. But whose dreams are like sky scraping, why does he stop? Yes, he does not stop anyway, rather, engineers his path constantly.
It is the tale of a struggling youth named Hafizur Rahman Hafiz. The boy who is physically disabled since his birth, comes of a needy family. He was born only three inch long hands and legs. But such obstacles not stop him for long. Rather, the physically handicapped boy went ahead one step to fulfill his dream by setting his footprint remarkably on the campus of the Jagannath University. He is now a proud student of Islamic History and Culture (IHC) Department of JnU smashing all his limitations. Hafiz was born in Bogra in 1993. He is the youngest of four brothers, but all are except him alienated from family. He along with his paralyzed father and aged mother lives miserably. In spite of such hindrance, his eagerness towards study does not diminish.
Hafizur Rahman began his abc by his father’s hand. His educational life started from a BRACK school, which is two kilometers from their house. Pushcart, driven by his friends, was only medium to go to the school. In 2004, he completed his Primary Education successfully writing by his mouth.
Afterward, he admitted himself at Dhunat Pilot Model High School, which is three kilometers from his house. Attending the SSC examination in 2009, he did a brilliant result achieving GPA 4.19. After that with the help of villagers, he got himself admitted at Dhunat Degree College and passed HSC examination and secured 3.60 writing by his mouth. Without the aid of coaching centre, he managed to get chance in the admission test of Jagannath University in 2012-13 academic session overcoming his disabilities.
However, completing his Honours and Masters degree, he wants to take part in the BCS examination and dreams to be an ideal teacher. He said, “It is ‘dream’, which is the principal key of my success”.
“If someone has truthful dream, the success must accomplish in any case. Not to be a burden of someone, I intend to establish myself with the enlightenment of education since my childhood”, Hafizur Rahman said.
Addressing the handicapped people, he said there is no reason to be disappointed, rather, to face all impediments boldly and to dream.
Abusalah Sakender, Assistant Professor of IHC Department, said about Hafiz that the boy is a real example of the handicappers’, who can induce them by his struggling life.
Since his boyhood, he manages his expenses doing private-tuition. But to lead his family he has to depend on others aid.
