In June 2017, I was selected for the Prime Minister’s Youth Training Scheme (Phase I) as a paid Teaching Assistant in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Agriculture, Faisalabad (Pakistan). At the time, I was completing my Master of Philosophy in Chemistry (final year thesis and research) in the same department and worked alongside faculty to support undergraduate teaching. This experience strengthened my early research, teaching skills and helped me understand how to bridge the gap between students and coursework. I learned that the transition from college to university level studies can be challenging and requires structured support, clear explanations and consistent encouragement for students.
