Mohammed: You’re a pride to our society
Huda Ahmed Jassim Ahli was excited about her Grade 12 results. But she was pleasantly surprised to receive a royal call on Monday morning.
The voice at the other end sounded familiar and it didn’t take long for her to recognise the voice of His Highness Shaikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE, and Ruler of Dubai. “You are a pride to our society,” he told her.
The top scorer in the Arts stream in Grade 12 was on cloud nine when Shaikh Mohammed congratulated her for her remarkable performance.

Huda Ahli, 18, a UAE national and resident in Mirdif, scored 99.8 per cent in her final high school exams. Recalling the conversation, she said: “This morning, Shaikh Mohammed called me and I was very happy with his phone call. He also motivated me to continue my career.’’
A student of the Princess Haya bint Al Hussein Public School, Huda is all praise for the school and thanked all the teachers for their contribution.
“I am going to invite all my friends and teachers to a special party to share this unforgettable moment in my life. Thanks to them all for making it happen.”
She said all her papers were easy and she was confident she would sail through.
Huda plans to study abroad. “I’ll probably study in London, majoring in environment and renewable energy related studies,” she said.
Abdulrazaq Masoud Al Awadhi, 18, an Emirati boy and topper in the science stream, also with 99.8 per cent, was a bit scared when he received a call from Shaikh Mohanmed.
“I was honoured to receive a call from one of the UAE’s symbols; I really felt happy to hear his voice and knowing he asked to speak to me personally, I was moved,” he said.
Al Awadhi plans to go abroad and continue his higher education in forensic medicine.
