Any suggestions you would like to give to the current youth and aspiring students?

Firstly, as a teacher, I want to emphasize the importance of acquiring knowledge and ensuring that it is accurate and precise. Many individuals are educated, but their education lacks depth and quality, which is a significant challenge for society and our nation. This is one of the reasons our nation is still referred to as a developing country rather than a developed one. Therefore, my advice to students is not to pursue a degree for the sake of it but to strive for excellence. Learn with precision, regardless of your field of interest, and become a responsible individual who contributes to society's betterment.
