Pakeezah Zubairi is a 21-year-old woman who lives in Florida and spent her life studying and working to achieve all that she desired. She completed secondary school with 18 months’ worth of university credits, completed a bachelor’s degree in Psychology, a master’s in Human Resources Management, and even bought herself a house by the age of 20.

To save money to buy her first house, she worked full time throughout her MBA. Pakeezah always desired to be as independent as she could be, so when she was done with her bachelor’s she moved out of her parent’s house and started living in student accommodation while she completed her master’s.

Moving out was no less than a challenge for her as she came from a religious background and her parents stopped talking to her when she moved out. In her words, her parents wanted her to be “a good Muslim girl”, but that just wasn’t for her.

She felt like all she did from high school until she got her house was work and study. She would write papers until five in the morning and then sleep for two hours and get up for work.

She said, “I was saving money wherever I could, I never ate out, I didn’t go out drinking, nor did I spend a penny on designer clothes, gadgets or holidays.”

She feels that her boyfriend Steven was a massive help for her who would stay up with her to study and both of them bought the cheapest food such as ready meals and super noodles which were not so healthy for their bodies. Her friend would drive her from work to school every day which helped her to save the transportation cost. By the time she finished her master’s degree, Pakeezah and her boyfriend were already saving for the house and they saved a $7,500 deposit needed to secure their mortgage within a year.

She just doesn’t want to stop here; she is going to study a Ph.D. and complete it as soon as she can. She feels immense pleasure when she looks back at what she has achieved with her boyfriend as a couple.

Pakeezah is the youngest student to ever graduate from an MBA business course at Lynn University. She thinks all her hard work and struggle was worth it. She is independent and studying in the subject she loves and that is all possible because of her hard work in younger years and the support of her amazing boyfriend.

She further advises everyone to try and get onto the property ladder as soon as they can. It takes two to three years to save up but the payoff is incredible.

Even though Pakeezah missed out on teenage stuff like going out, takeaway food, and girls’ holidays but she is getting to do all of that in her twenties.

She feels herself to be very lucky because of the people she is surrounded with. Her boyfriend’s family and other acquaintances in Lynn helped her along the way to achieve her dream.
