Aqiyah Bte Mohmad: 18‑Year‑Old K‑Pop Star in the Making
Think any teen dreams of pop fame? Aqiyah’s got that bright‑eye sparkle too—just with a little extra spice: she’s a future K‑pop sensation, and she’s smashing every “no” in her path.
Why the “no”? Not the ‘no’s of the Korean music industry, but those of everyday life.
- Diagnosed with autism at age 7.
- Spontaneous outbursts once set teachers on the lookout.
- “If you don’t talk to me, I’ll destroy you,” she used to mutter—yikes.
But hey, no drama here. She picked the “ignore” button and turned grit into a super‑power.
Aqiyah’s “End‑of‑Year” Mission
She’s now in her final year of a special school program, and she’s not just looking at a girl with special needs—she’s counselling the world:
“I want folks to stop calling me ‘silly’ or ‘crazy.’ Instead, let them see me as a normal person. I’ll win that kindness.*”
If you’re feeling skeptical, remember: she’s still chasing her biggest dream—stage lights, fan cheers, and a perfect choreography routine. That’s talent, not one‑track study notes.
Takeaway for Every Teen (and People)
Everyone’s a hero. Even if you’re dealing with special needs—our gifts don’t disappear, they just look a little different.
- Show love. Show supporting answers.
- Remember, a brain that works a bit differently is still a powerful machine.
- Stop judging. Start applauding.
Now, go cheer on Aqiyah as she brightens the K‑pop world!
