The 56-year-old decided to take the leap after his daughter, whom he had encouraged to pursue a master’s degree, responded by presenting him with a similar challenge, telling him: “I’ll do it if you do it too.” It was tiring, and he had to make many sacrifices, he said, adding that the most tiring times were when he was fasting during Ramadan.
