The Little Pakistani Genius
Arfa Karim
The world’s youngest Microsoft Certified Professional(MCP)
Born in Faisalabad, Pakistan, the little Arfa Karim was only 5 when she first came across these strange white “boxes” in her school which later she knew were computers. “When you push a button, something magically appears on the box” said Arfa.
After she persuaded her father to buy her one, Amjad Karim –who serves with a U.N. peace making force in Africa, began to notice his young daughter’s extraordinary “technical” talent, that’s when he convinced APTECH –an advanced computer institute near their home- to enroll her as a student for she was still too young to apply.
The Young Daughter of Pakistan make us proud when she had become the first Microsoft Certified Professional in the year 2004 at the age of only 9. She was Born in January 14th, 1995 in Faisalabad, she got the title of the youngest ever MCP by 2004-2008. Arfa was always a rare child. Her parents said that she displayed signs of an outstanding memory from a extremely early age. When her dad bought her a computer, that is only for e-mail purposes, she exhibited skills that exceeded her years. Studying the things she had been accomplishing, her father took the girl to APTECH, a nearby computer institute. Whilst giving a conversation on ARcast, she explained the storyline in her words: Actually when I was six years of age, I received my personal first computer; when you see new stuff you want to find, what exactly is it? How does will it be work? I Really used to play around and I got to know various things about it from the reach as well as demo method and in about two years I obtained to know how to work on windows and different softwares completely. After that, I did previously make a lots of presentations for my dad as well as my mom. My father and my mom used to watch myself and say she got abilities in computers therefore then they took me to an institute close by our house and there I began to learn C sharp and then I give exam of MCP. Certainly, there she advanced a lot as well as passed the Microsoft Certified Application Developer qualification in 4 months. Microsoft officials in Pakistan tested her programming abilities through an additional exam as well. Then She was invited to Microsofts Redmond campus by Bill Gates for a private meeting and to better introduce her to the organization as well as provide people at the campus a chance to meet her. She went to the campus together with her father while her mother and two young brothers remained home. A few days long tour included clinical tours and also informal times with Microsoft staff as well as executives. She made a good effect on Gates as well as every person who met the girl and entertained Bill Gates with her confidence while she questioned him about the little percentage of women on the Redmond campus. It needs to be balanced the same amount of men with an equal amount of women, she said soon after. Somasegar, a company vice chairman at Microsoft, described her in his website, declaring: She is a Fifth grader who visited all of us at Microsoft for a few days together with her father. We had a large amount of fun in meeting Arfa and obtaining a chance to understand what motivated the girls to shoot for such an accomplishment from such a early age. She undoubtedly has some clear ideas about the kinds of conditions she envisions technology may enable sometime soon. It was her who chosen to invite Arfa to Redmond after reading about the girl in a inside company newsletter.

Child prodigy. Aarifa Karim loses race for her life..
LAHORE: Aarifa Karim Randhawa, the worlds youngest Microsoft certified professional lost the battle for her life after suffering from heart failure, her paternal uncle confirmed on Saturday.
On December 22, Aarifa was admitted to Lahore’s CMH hospital after suffering cardiac arrest. On December 29, doctors said there was no hope for her survival, and that her life support could be switched off ‘at any time’.
However, she had then miraculously responded to certain stimuli, as recently as January 14. Aarifa’s father, Amjad Karim Randhawa had said that she had shown the Plantar Reflex when her foot was stimulated. “Her toes curved slightly downward when her foot was tickled,” he said, adding that earlier she had exhibited the Corneal Reflex, whereby her eyes blinked a few times.
Doctors had said that her brain had shown activity over the past four days, making minor improvements.
