The son of a soldier, Hamid was a star student. He was given awards and prizes for best English vocabulary and essay writing as well as best picture memory and earth day poster. He also won a Best Young Journalist certificate.
On the day of the attack, he had prepared a presentation and asked his uncle to pray it is the best in the class.
His teachers said he had leadership qualities as he was parade commander at school and was also selected to be proctor.
He used to joke with his father and lovingly call him by his first name, an endearment his father says he will never forget.
