She also won 11 gold medals and two cups for writing and debate, Sheikh Hamdan proudly said in a tweet.

Based on the tweet, Fatima could soon be studying at an Ivy League school, Yale University.
In the UAE, the youth’s achievements do not go unnoticed and the country’s leaders have always gone the extra mile to express how proud they are.
Just recently, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, penned a heartfelt letter to outstanding high school graduates. He even made a phone call to one topper.
