My Experience in the Math Olympiad (WMI)
By: Mustafa “Rezaie”
I am Mustafa Rezaee, a fifth-grade student at Setaragan Zirak High School, in the academic year 1403. It has been my dream to attend this school since its founding, and my family helped me go through the necessary steps.
For three years now, I have been fortunate enough to be a student at this wonderful school. Both my parents, Mohammad Tahir Rezaee and my mother, hold professional jobs. During their working hours, my sister and I share the responsibility of household chores. I personally take care of all my father’s duties until he returns home. Guided by our loving parents, my sister and I strive to balance caring for our younger brother and sister with our own studies. At home, apart from my household responsibilities, I dedicate time to reviewing past lessons, assisting my brother with his studies, and respecting my older sister (who is two years and four months older than me). My parents, teachers, and the school itself emphasize the importance of these duties, which I gladly accept. I have a special affinity for science subjects, particularly mathematics. When the school announced the Math Olympiad competition, I was thrilled and enthusiastically sought my father’s permission to participate. My parents were delighted and immediately signed the necessary forms. My father personally consulted with school officials and gathered all the relevant information. The school administration informed us about special training courses for the Olympiad. I eagerly devoted myself to the academic material each day. At home, my father also helped me with math, further fueling my passion. I encountered numerous challenges, but I diligently worked toward overcoming them.
The school announced that Afghan Turk High School would host the Olympiad exam the following week after two months of preparation. I was filled with excitement and decided to take the challenge. The school administration generously covered our transportation expenses to the city center, and our supportive teachers ensured a smooth journey. Upon completion of the exam, a spark of hope ignited within me; perhaps I wouldn’t be without a result! The national Olympiad committee finally announced the results after several weeks of patient waiting. Despite not achieving my desired outcome, the competition awarded me the Bronze Medal. Seeing my parents, teachers, and everyone who had supported me so wholeheartedly celebrate this achievement brought immense joy. I am proud to have upheld their expectations and dedicated myself fully to the competition. My heartfelt gratitude goes out to the esteemed school administration for organizing a special ceremony and recognizing the achievements of ten outstanding students, including myself, who participated in the Olympiad. This memorable event will forever hold a special place in my heart as I cherish the recognition and support received from my beloved teachers and school. Setaragan Zirak High School has been an exceptional learning environment for me and my peers, a place we will always hold dear.

A Journey of Dedication and Achievement
By: Bahara “Noori“
My name is Bahara Noori, and I was born in 1392 (Solar Hijri) in the beautiful province of Ghazni. Currently, I am a proud fifth-grade student at Setaregan Zirak High School. Since the school’s inception, I have been deeply committed to my studies, and in 1403 (2024), I achieved a remarkable milestone: securing the top position in overall grades for the academic year. From the outset of the academic year, I was determined to achieve first place in the final exams.
This aspiration held immense significance for me, symbolizing the culmination of hard work and dedication. I firmly believed that I could achieve any goal with focused effort and a well-structured plan. To turn my ambition into reality, I devised a detailed and disciplined study schedule. Each subject demanded my attention, and I spent countless hours ensuring a deep understanding of the material. While I enjoyed all my classes, I devoted extra effort to subjects I found particularly challenging. I viewed difficulties not as obstacles but as opportunities for growth, always seeking help from my teachers and classmates when I needed clarity. Beyond my studies, I actively participated in group projects and collaborative learning. Helping my friends not only strengthened our relationships but also allowed me to learn from their perspectives. These experiences instilled in me the value of teamwork, teaching me that we can achieve greater heights when we work together. Setaregan Zirak High School has been more than just an institution; it has been a second home for me. The nurturing environment of the school, along with the guidance of kind and dedicated teachers, has significantly shaped my journey. Here, I have learned not only academic concepts but also the importance of values such as unity, perseverance, and hard work. I experienced a profound sense of joy and fulfillment when my esteemed teacher announced the results and called my name as the student who achieved first place. In that moment, I realized that every ounce of effort I had poured into my studies had been worth it. This success was more than just a personal victory; it was a message to my classmates: hard work and unwavering determination can help us achieve even the grandest of goals. As I reflect on this journey, I am filled with gratitude for my school, my teachers, and my friends who have supported me along the way. I hope that my experience inspires others to embrace the belief that no challenge is insurmountable. With a determined heart and a focused mind, we can overcome any obstacle and achieve the extraordinary. Setaregan Zirak High School has taught me that success is not just about reaching a destination; it is about the journey, the lessons learned, and the belief that every goal is within reach if approached with dedication and passion.
This a great Place for making Future!
