HAKIMA

Living in the U.S is undoubtedly very different and better. I am amazed by how much this society is more facilitated and open to education, new ideas or inventions, and very accepting of differences. Life in the U.S. can definitely provide the right circumstances for one to investigate and improve in a special/specific field of interest. Being who I’m inside is not dangerous anymore. That is what like the most about this society. 

This scholarship to me is basically like a bridge from my former life to  a completely new life. A bridge that transports me from a discriminated, corrupted, closed, and judgmental society where simply justifying a situation or the results of the games of the politicians, can cost you your life.  To me, ‘freedom’ is just having the right to be who I am meant to be and who I am deep down insider. This scholarship is my gateway to that freedom.
