this young woman got my son yo speak ... something i can never thank her enough for... i always felt like hugging her because she was so sympathetic with my son...
In which hospital does she work?
Respect for his father who gave her good education despite less resources. She should not cry rather proud of herself. Many people go through this kind of situation

I am only half way through this episode right now and my heart is full. This. THIS is what we mean when we talk about female empowerment, when women ask for equal education and other opportunities. Sabreen, to me, even as a vegetable seller, your father was way richer than the majority of men in our society because of the broad horizon of his thought process and his ability to still give you wings. God bless your whole family
So true, I'm proud of her but hats off to her parents and especially father who despite all the problems gave that confidence to his kids and was willing to support.
whole credits goes to sabree father coz he never stop making his kids to study though he is not financial strong den too he tried his best and at the same time i must appreciate sabreen the way she deal with all the situation wshe went through...i dnt know how she felt during her schooling wen her library teacher laugh at her just coz of his father occupation but allahumdulliah allah hd blessed her with best of it
I am a teacher... And i m feeling ashamed that how can a teacher behave like that...... Secondly proud of you sister... And respect for your parents.. 🙂
I can relate it to myself,my father was a resident dr when i was in class 3 to 8,my father didnt had enough money to pay fees on time, buy syllabus on time or buy artwork accessories,as a result bearing punishment in sunlight,teacher used to beat with ruler for not bringing art stationary.Relatives used to laugh on our situation,used to call my father that u r hand to mouth,degraded him many times,that affected me psychologically n made my childhood traumatic.Alhamdullilah we came out frm struggles,we 3 siblings are doctors,one is lawyer,our husbands are doctors and living a good lifestyle.But still those childhood memories still haunt me n i didnt never wanted my kids to be in the same situation n this episode literally made me cry.
.
Nerves of steel, sabreen! So much respect for your father, what a man!🫰🏻🫰🏻🫰🏻
how her voice has changed in beginning to now shivering for the longest time. This is so heart breaking.
His father is a real hero...a gem
Hats off to her father.. he didn't compromise on kids education ..
In a university I applied for schoalrship and in schoalrship committie one teacher asked me, what your father do? I said he is a truck driver and then she started to bash me and satrted to say then "wo to cigrette pitay hn gay and tea pitay hn gay, sara paisa udar ura datay hn gay" I feel so ashamed and emotional I cant explain in words. My father never went near to cigrette and he dont like tea as well. He alwaysa support our education
Your father is more of a man than many wealthy men even here in the UK. We need more men like your father around the world and daughters like you too x
I’m in shock! Couldn’t even get through the whole thing without commenting here! What school is this? And what creatures are these teachers??? I wonder why we have such polarised systems where on one hand this is happening and on the other, students and parents are insulting the most dedicated teachers and treating them like slaves!
This girl is SO strong, Masha Allah!!!!
The episode brought back the memories of my traumatic childhood where I was constantly bullied because of my feminine voice. Thank you for sharing your story.
This episode was truly heart warming. I was bullied throughout my entire school life and it does traumatize me to this day. But it taught me to remain kind and be different. Thank you so much for sharing your story Sabreen aapa sending you loads of duas, best wishes and love all the way from Sri Lanka. A big thank you to kanwal aapa too for bringing out the best stories and for never failing to inspire us❤️
Respect for her parents 👏👏
I am so glad that they focused on their children's education regardless of anything! and sooo happy for kids who didnt let down their parents efforts ❤️❤️
Thank you so much sharing your story, Sabreen. Thank you so much Kanwal, for interviewing her. This is such a heartwarming life story 🙂 It reminded me of my own parents, who invested so much in our education. My father worked as a bicycle mechanic but wanted to get the best education for his children, so he got us in really good school. Just like Sabreen's father, he encouraged us to study whatever we wanted to and he didn't discriminate between sons and daughters at all. On the contrary, he consciously empowered daughters. All three of us sisters did great in studies and our careers and lifted up the rest of family. Our quality of life improved tremendously and people who meet us now cannot believe where we started. I'm grateful for my parents' devotion and faith in us. Sabreen's parents and my parents had limited financial resources but they didn't have a poverty mindset. They invested their money in the right things, and are now they enjoying the fruits of their labour.
What a beautiful story Mashallah! Kudos to Sabreen and her amazing parents. This is such a poignant example of how sacrifices and dreams can change the trajectory of an entire family. I can’t even begin to imagine what it must’ve been for her parents. May you all have happiness everlasting. I can’t help but wonder how she’s achieved so much and yet is still scarred by those hurtful moments. May we never be the cause of hurt and grief to anyone. May she heal from all that hurt with all the happiness in her life. Ameen
Honestly hats off to ur husband who didn’t mind that you are going to abroad & that you are supporting your family(though a little bit) that’s amazing! Not everyone can digest this.
My eyes are all welled after watching such an inspirational episode. I’m not only inspired by the hard work of Sabreen and her father but also the strong bond between her whole family including her mother, brothers and father. They all cared for each other altruistically, that’s commendable ❤
This is how hardworking,persistence n education brings change....hats off to your parents too...
I want to tell you that this is my story also. My own story has been narrated bh some other person and main characters are the PARENTS only...same like my father was in the mission to educate us that we can sit in the "AC OFFICE ".
Right now, my sister is a gynaecologist, my brother is an engineer, and I am imagining a technologist working in UAE.
Proud of my parents always .
i'm sure your parents are proud of you too
Sabreen, you're a beautiful person inside out. Your dad is a role model for so many. Wishing you and your family all the best with everything. Keep growing
Inspirational. The way this girl and her siblings focused on their education and used their parent's hard earned money to achieve their goals. Also a huge lesson for parents to invest in their children's education.💕💕. Love and duas for the guest as well as the host.
Made my daughter watch this episode. This is such an inspirational video for today’s youth and gives out such a strong and clear message of being humble, being grounded and above all being dedicated. If one has the right intentions and supportive parents, anything can be achieved ❤️Thanks a lot Kanwal ❤️❤️
I don't know why I'm crying when I haven't faced any of this 😭😭 its just so heart breaking how parents go to all extent for our future
This was literally my whole childhood being humiliated in front of the whole class during exams for not having tution and my fee was never deposited like hers. One time I remember my fee was not deposited so the school basically punished me and my sister by stripping us of our sweaters during winter and have us stand in the courtyard in the shade and not sun light so we will really feel the cold for the entire day. Passing teachers would ensure we are not leaning against the wall. So basically we were tortured and humiliated for hours. I never cried over it but now that I think it was cruel thing they did to kids I think I was like 6 or 7.
This is so heartbreaking to hear. I’m so sorry 😢
@@Kanwalful Indeed its heartbreaking how schools in our country do these unethical things and completely disregard welfare of the students in their care for a late fee.
So sorry to hear what you and your sister went through. No child should have to go through this. Parents entrust their children in the hands of teachers believing they are in good hands. Those evil teachers will get what they deserve
The things we take for granted 😢
What a moving story! So much inspiration! She’s a star❤
Oh my goodness! I had tears in my eyes through out the episode! They started as I felt so sad what Sabreen and her family went through and as she shared her success, they turned into tears of joy. What an inspirational story of an exceptional family MashaAllah. Stories like these deserve a full recognition by turning them into a drama or a movie.
I hope the school and its management were watching this & change the way they operate. The emotional damage this can cause was very obvious.
I can go on and on! Kanwal you have done it again! This was amazing as always, thank you for this. ❤️🥰😍
Such a beautiful and inspirational story. I am going to show this to my daughter who is 14, also USA born and raised . I want to show her the reality of the world and how people work hard to fulfill their goals and dreams. Sabreen has such beautiful voice and she hooked me more by the way she spoke. Once again Kanwal you are doing such an amazing job . So so proud of you ❤
Such painful and harsh reality about our education system and how our teachers from well known schools used to act as if kids are just products and not humans. As a nation, we all lack empathy. Allah karay hamaray bachay baray honay tak things change. Bravo to the whole team 👏🏻👏🏻
She is narrating my story, but here my father didn't support us..my mother helped us as much as she can..yet! Am stuck in this chaos, and have to leave my studies ..am so happy for her, someone is living my dream life! Way to go girl 💃❤️
Sabreen is a gem of a person and after Knowing her story I am respecting her more. She has been my daughter's slp and she is best at her profession. More power to you
I literally cried when she said how school administrators / teachers humiliated her . Kudos to her parents especially father who supported her . Sadly our school system is badly damaged . Private school became a good money making business .
Awesome and emotional episode hats off to the father who fulfilled all dreams of their kids irrespective of a girl or a boy
It's a big achievement
But the trauma that sabreen had to go through she has not yet recovered from it as we can see with her tears .😢
Ended this episode with proud, happy tears!!! You and your father are incredible! It always warms my hearts to hear about supportive girl fathers in Pakistan. I can’t imagine how tough this must have been for your family. I am so, so proud of you and all your success and I wish you all the very best in life. May Allah keep you and your family healthy and happy, always ❤
Having tears in my eyes how difficult it was for her to face this thing for some many years..I wish our system changes and we get quality education free of cost like western countries ..
Amazing life story. Thank you Sabreen for sharing. I wish the younger generation of today could benefit from it. I've often felt kids today are too entitled because they have everything given to them. Everyone should know the value of earning something for themselves. And recognize the sacrifices parents sometimes have to make so their kids don't have to. Hats off to your father.
Props to
Her father and props to her..❤️🙂✨
Story of every middle class family. Sabreen so proud of you and your family
And also sabreen bachpan main Jo baatain aap say log kartay wo aap nahi bhooltay it’s scars you for life
Sabreen very hardworking & humble person she is. She was first teacher of my child ❤️
What a inspiration❤❤..... Apko sab kuvh mile jo iccha h apki.. Good luck❤
Trauma of being a poor family girl never goes. I remember till now the incidents of my poverty.
I'm sorry that you had to go through this trauma as a child, your story is really inspiring. I can relate to it too. Kudos to kanwal Ahmed for bringing up this topic.
Broke my heart when she talked about her school experiences. Poor girl still lives with truma 😢
So so so happy MashaAllah MashaAllah Allah pak apke maa baap ko lambi zindagi den , khushiyan den bht bht bht sari apko itna support kiya ❤️🔥🥰
So proud of you 💞
I like this set up for storytelling rather than the previous kitchen set up. I liked that season also. But I think we can get more of the story's because of this set up. As speakers are not involved in anything else, so it makes them speak out more of their stories. And of course I have to say, this one is really inspiring. Thanks to this show for bringing stories like this.
Watched first 5 mins, couldn't resist commenting. This whole experience of being called out because of fee is so relatable. It was so much embarrassing. I remember i even fought with my college management over it.
An amazing start of CWK which left me in tears because the story of Sabreen is somehow similar to mine.
Hugs and love your way Sabreen ❤️
I can relate as my family went through some very difficult time.
One teacher made fun of my father's salary. Several girls in my college made fun of my limited dresses. Lots of painful humiliating stuff I can remember right now.
In my opinion, making fun of someone's poverty is extremely low level act. Never ever made fun of someone's condition, show some empathy.
There’s a saying behind every successful man there’s a woman, this story has proved that behind every successful woman also there’s a man who’s supportive of her dreams ماشآالله, I’m so happy for this girl 😊
MashaAllah. Education did make a huge difference. Those who say that degrees don't matter, they do for sure. They allow you to proceed further and gain skills. Students, get your degree at any cost!
I've never shared this with anyone but this young lady's story hit so close to home. I went to one of the best all girls schools in Pakistan and still distinctly remember the embarrassment I would feel when the admin assistant would come in and distribute late fees slips in class during lessons. Didn't quite know how much it had affected me, so much suppressed trauma... I left Pakistan many years ago but I hope that school has changed and all others are doing better by their students.
You are a strong lady, hats off to you
All the power to you ...my eyes are full of tears..best of luck and all the successes in life ahead
LOTS AND LOTS OF RESPECT FOR THE FATHER💫
Salute to your father who knows the power of education and salute to you who fulfilled his dreams in those difficult circumstances,I love your story,I love the way you are talking so decent so mature, a big round of applause for you and new season of CWK👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
This is exactly why i love CWK. The fact that Kanwal gives a chance to the other person to exactly open up and talk about their experience is such a rare sight.
What a beautiful story, mA! I am still crying after watching this. Sabreen, more power to you! Wishing you all the luck and success in achieving everything you've dreamed of. Your parents must be so proud of you. Keep shining!
This story is everything! Heart breaking and heart warming at the same time. Wishing you more success, love and humility!
I cant Even fathom what sabreen n her siblings went through ….I really hope her school n staff r listening that how they have scarred her for life n ruined her childhood.I’m so glad to see how they have managed to come out of the traumas n hardships of life n transformed their lives for better and i have great respect for her resilience n where she stands today is all due to her father n his determination.
Such an inspirational n relateable story for mostly middle n lower middle class ppl . I love the fact that how she turns into a selfmade person. So proud of you. Feel so sad about our broken school system n teachers behaviour. I dont know where are we goin as a nation 😪
The real hero in this story is her father.Dil bhar gaya..❤
Iam in just tears. That's Soooooo true people don't realise the worth of education. No child should have to face this and iam a teacher myself and I do absolutely agree with everything the young lady mentioned. It's really heartbreaking but then she's an inspiration for young generation. I always tell everyone around me that, plllease one thing that you can truely give to a child is education. People overseas can truely feel the pain of our fellow Pakistanis especially children.
I think this generation is doing great .. they are all opening up and creating a diffrence thats great.. i look at todays parents that they are so calm and understanding ..
MashaAllah what an achievement Sabreen. Proud parents indeed. And I love the way u carry urself it’s just so amazing . Lots of love to you girl. ❤
Shows like urs need to reach to a wider audience, you deserve views in millions, thanks for bringing their stories up, these stories are really inspiring ... God bless u Kanwal 👍
mashaAllah good to see u successful in life.Hats off to your father who give you education. Stay blessed
Lots lots of respect to ur parents...imandari aur mehnat kbi waste nai hote...I have seen such families grow as ur story...truly inspirational...do call ur parents abroad ...
MAshaAllah more power to you. That’s an amazing inspiring story
What a start to this season!! Such a feel good happy ending story! I'm in awe! MashaAllah mashaAllah!!!
Your father is the real hero, such amazing people are less🌸
Thank you for sharing this story. It’s a sad reality of a broken education system. It breaks my heart, that education is not free all over the world. Education is a basic human right! More power to you! And I am happy that your parents still made every possible effort, to give you access to the educational system. I am sorry that you had to go through this trauma and hope you will be able to recover from it completely. Sending you prayers ❤
MashAlalh so proud of her and all the women who have so far showed up on your show and shared their stories! Such an inspiration.
Hi! Sabreen Noor you are pure inspiration, I'm Hassan's mother 👋
More power for sabreen ❤may Allah bless her more
Wow she herself and her family is an inspiration indeed. I wish her father would have joined her in the show
MashaAllah, Hats off to your father so proud of him, and you also❤
Such an inspiring story!
I can understand what she might have gone through. When I was the head of a reputed school, I was also asked to do the same with students to which I refused. Instead, I used to call parents without knowing my HO.
In return, I was issued a warning letter. Later, I resigned soon after the completion of session. Then my whole staff resigned and parents withdrew the admission. I am proud of myself, my team and the parents who stood with me and against the system.
So inspiring ❤❤❤
Lots of love for you and your family❤
May Allah bless you immensely ❤
Its a beautifull story showing sad reality of our system but at the end it made me happy to see her so much sucsessful really loving her life struggle ❤
Poverty aik mindset hai and jo log iss se guzray hain wohi jaantay hain how it affects you throughout life, no matter how strong, how wealthy, how secure you become with time. Takes a lot to come out of it.
Loved it ♥️ lots of love for Sabreen and her parents, her father is a hero 😊
I hope this impact starts flowing in biggest social media community of women. SSP.
I love your channel, it brought me tears 😢 us women are so resilient ❤ may we heal.
Loved this ! What an inspirational story Sabreen. So proud of you and your parents for always pushing you and your siblings to go for the best despite their limited resources. May you always shine and make your family prouder
I’m so sorry you had to go through this trauma as a child. And congratulations for making your parents proud. The kind of sacrifices parents make for their children is unmatchable! Rabbirhum huma kama rabbayaani sagheera ❤
It just broke my heart. Regarding how it made u feel, k apki fees paid nh hai 💔 she is an adult but it still broke u into tears💔 teachers should always be sensitive, very sensible. Teachers have v big responsibility if they understand 💔
Sabreen is a true warrior who fought against all the hurdles and never gave up.Her teary eyes made us cry as well.
More power to you our brave girl.
Keep shining ❤️❤️
I love this girl matlab i cant tell how inspire i am right now with her ..her story is just so beautiful and i love love how passionate she has been throughout her life struggles lots n lots of love to you 😘😘♥️♥️ i really even cried in the beginning because no kid should ever feel this traumatic experience 🥹
More power to you, Sabreen. We need more strong ladies and fathers who can set beautiful examples to follow.
So beautiful .MashAllah I love it .
This is the bestest thing of my day to watch such a inspiring story it was like a roller coaster of all the emotions mashallah mashallah
You thrived so hard MashaAllah and Alhumdulilah living a successful life. I pray you always always stay happy and apke parents ka saya ap per hamesha qayim rahe❤❤
thanks kanwal for sharing this story i have faced similar situation in school regarding late payment of fees and used to called out from the class infront of everyone and when she was explaining her story I could actually feel it.
This story is so inspiring ♡♡ And I'm glad this format is back. The cooking format was personally distracting and took away from the message of the episode.
every girl deserve a support system like this, mental peace to achieve her goals.. it's already difficult to survive in male dominated society. at least families understand this n should provide ways to her daughters, I WISH..
You have made your parents proud. And you should be very proud of who your parents are.
Very inspiring story 💓 We need more fathers like hers
Indeed a beautiful episode. I can feel 100% that embracement when named is called out in between class because of fees it hurts a lot. Because i face it many times. Agree children shouldn't be punished for fees unko to pata bhi nahi chalna chahye..
Our school also used to have that system,it was a convent school so principal used to change every 3to5 yrs or it may differ and when our new sister came I was in 8 and she changed the system before her the principal used to issue admit card and if you don't pay the fees you will not get it .I have seen some of my friends rushing to the principal office to get a note in written so that they can appear the exam.I also belong to lower middle class family but somehow my parents to pay the fees on time and it was all thanks to my mother and especially my maternal grandparents and uncle they were really supportive when our financial condition was not stable it was only for them and there was also not doing very at that time financialy but also they provided my school fees
Wonderful story , thanks a lot Kanwal for making this wonderful show happen. Much needed show given misogynistic society where women are demotivated for being hard worker or being open to the opportunities.
