My journey to the Microsoft Office Specialist World Championship 2016 at Disneyland, Orlando, Florida, USA didn’t start on 6 August (the day of our flight) but much before it. In the days of March of 2016, I took a Microsoft Office Specialist Certification Exam (sponsored by SWF) for free in Word 2013 and managed to score high enough to qualify in the top 16 of my category for the national championship. Then, I along with 20 other students of my school (FFC Grammar School Mirpur Mathelo) went to Karachi in June to take the National exam
