Triple Threat: The Inspiring Story Of A Student, Mother, And Entrepreneur

Abstract

It was a quiet night in July 2021. The clock on the wall showed it was past 10 PM. Syahira sat at her small desk, typing away on her laptop, trying to finish an assignment due the next morning. Her room was dimly lit, and the only sound was the soft clicking of her keyboard. From behind her, she heard small footsteps. Her four-year-old son, Aisy Akhtar, appeared at the doorway, holding his stuffed toy close. “Mommy, I can’t sleep,” he mumbled, rubbing his eyes. Syahira turned to him with a tired but loving smile. “It’s bedtime, Aisy. You need to get some rest,” she said gently. Aisy walked over, resting his head on her arm. “But I want to stay with you,” he whispered, his voice sleepy but stubborn. Syahira stroked his hair softly. “I know, sweetheart. But I have to finish my assignment. How about you go lie down, and I’ll come tuck you in as soon as I’m done, okay?” Syahira found herself constantly struggling to keep up with the demands of her life. As a young mother, a full-time student, and an entrepreneur, her days often felt like a race against the clock. Time management became her biggest struggle. No matter how hard she tried to organize her day, something always seemed to spill over into the next. Her nights stretched longer as she stayed up past midnight to finish her university work. She rarely had time for herself, and the constant juggling left her feeling overwhelmed and fatigued.
