The Boy Who Promised to Be a Genius!

In the busy streets of Kabul, where every corner carries a tale of survival, lives a boy named Milad. He is still so young, yet his life has already been shaped by responsibilities far greater than his age.

Milad spends his days selling eggs, balancing a fragile tray in his hands while carrying a school bag on his back. But unlike most children his age, his bag does not carry books or notebooks; it carries the weight of dreams waiting to be fulfilled.

At home, Milad is the backbone of his family. His small earnings are what put food on the table and keep hope alive within his household. Childhood joys, games, laughter, carefree play; have been replaced by the burden of providing for his loved ones. Yet, behind his quiet strength lies a boy who longs for something more.

Milad has a dream: a dream of studying, of sitting in a classroom with books open before him, of learning and excelling in education. He once promised with a firm voice and determined eyes:

If I have a chance to study, if someone helps me overcome life’s obstacles, I will become a genius in education.

These are not just words; they are a vow from a boy who knows the true value of opportunity.

Milad’s story is not only about hardship; it is about hope. It is about a young heart that refuses to surrender, even when life builds walls around him. Every egg he sells is not just survival, it is a step closer to his dream.
