As most people woke up to an average Thursday morning here in Dubai, for many students across the Emirate, August 18, 2016 marked a very important date in their calendar.
As 9am hit at Jumeirah College Dubai, AS and A Level students poured in through the front doors to find out their exam results, with many relying on their grades to help map out their future. For Egypt-born, Daniel Nashed, his calm exterior perfectly showcased his inner confidence.
He was the Topper for Jumeirah College.
Stood with two pieces of A4 paper in his hands, (one of the most important things he said he'll ever hold), Nashed secured four A*s in his A-Levels. The impressive results were recorded in Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and Further Mathematics.
Daniel Mashed of Jumeirah College in Dubai looks forward to studying in UCLA.But rather than plan for a weekend of celebrations, Nashed's thoughts were firmly set on his future plans.
