I was born in Damascus, Syria in 1999. I lived in Damascus my whole life, and I enjoyed living in a comfortable environment. I went to a local preschool then I attended an Armenian school where I became fluent in three languages. When my sister started swimming, I was influenced to start my swimming lessons. During my free time, I went to a music institution to enhance my skills in Piano, and I attended it for 6 years. When I became eight years old, I started going with my parents to work. In Syria, my father is a gastroenterologist, and my mother is an accountant. My dad worked at his private clinic, and my mother worked as an accountant. Soon after, the war erupted and mobility in Syria became limited and the education became weaker. Every
My father started working for the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) when he graduated high school. My father nor my mother attended college. The USDA moved my parents all around the state for the next couple of years until they finally ended up in Jefferson, GA where they have been ever since. My mom landed a job as a secretary at the First National Bank of Jackson County when they first moved here. Since
I was born in the Republic of Congo, where my family fled from Rwanda to escape genocide. Growing up as a refugee in Congo was a daily hardship. My parents struggled to provide the basic necessities for my four siblings and me. The stress of living as refugees began to tear my family apart. My parents divorced in 2005, when I was only five years old. My mother struggled to keep our family together and to provide for all of us. She passionately believed in the power of education. She would try to scrape together enough money to send us to school. There were many times when me and my brothers would help sell jugs of water in the streets of Brazzaville to make enough money for school fees and lunches.
During childhood Zeitoun worked on cargo ships to help supplement the finances after his father Mahmoud died and his mother was struggling with a terminal illness. His family in Syria experienced a caste management system that limited a person in choosing a career based upon differences of wealth, rank, or occupation. A caste system reduces and almost eliminates social mobility for the individual unlike in America the system is based on democracy and capitalism.
I am an Egyptian- American. I was born in America and have lived here for the majority of my life. I have three siblings and have been living out on a farm for about 13 years now. My dream is to become a doctor especially a pediatrician. A lot of family stories influenced my decision to pursue a career as a physician. When I started college, I knew what I wanted and I knew how to reach my goals. I started to volunteer at the Hunt Regional Medical Center in Greenville, Texas my freshman year of college. I worked in the Operating Room almost daily. I have done volunteer work in many places including Egypt. I love to travel outside of the United States and hope that I will be able to do so as a practicing physician. My favorite hobby is fashion
Twenty four hours and a two plane rides were the only obstacles standing in my way…. Oh, and about three-dozen insurgents.
"...and he chose what the world considers weak in order to shame the powerful. He chose what the world looks down on and despises and thinks is nothing... that no one can boast in God's presence." - 1 Corinthians 1:27-29 (GNT)
This career option as an assessment employer for the child protective services could possibly be a long-term career option. Although, I do not believe I would want this as my long-term career goal. Choosing to work directly out of college would also allow myself to gain experience within the field which would improve the possibility of getting a better job or getting into graduate school. If I was hired and I did accept the position within five years my goal would be to continue working while attending school to further mu education. I would continue to work to gain more experience as well as helping me get through school by paying off my tuition. I would not leave this job until I graduate and had another job lined up.
My life is made of migrating and learning at the same time. I lived in Somalia and lived in a villa with a big family. Shortly, I moved into Kenya. during my life in Kenya, there was a tragic accident. My uncle was the victim and the cell was the murder.
Ahmed 1 Alhussain Ahmed Marry Dubbe ENF 16 march 2016 DfgdfgfdgdfgdfgAn American college professor from the State of Maine, who volunteered during the American Civil War said, "Let me say no danger and no hardship ever makes me wish to get back to that college life again." As a result of growing up in Iraq , I have learned how to deal with the dangerous situation , after many of my friends and my family relatives lost their lives in mysterious circumstances my family took a decision to travel to the dream land the united states of America After we’ve been waiting for three years (the refugees process) finally they accepted us as refugees and they told us we’ve to be ready to move during the next month. Everybody in my family was happy although
My parents have jobs, like Soda and Darry, and similar to them they work their butts of to provide for us. Right now, we are going through the crisis where we might lose our house. I can relate to Ponyboy, as I am in an alike situation to him; I have two people who work hard to provide for me, and give me opportunities. Thats where we vary although, my life getting easier than
We caught up with Amir to discuss what life was like back in Afghanistan and what he’s currently doing now as he’s living in San Francisco.
The unemployment rates were above 20% and millions of Syrian workers were forced to look for jobs overseas. That was just what he did to overcome that obstacle, he accepted a job abroad which was unrelated to his degree in Saudi Arabia. His observations there allowed him to see why many educated Arabs found themselves caught between hope and despair. Another obstacle he faced was when his father died unexpectedly in September 1991, he was the only son so he felt he had to step up and care of his family.
When I was seventeen I nervously traveled about 350 miles from my sleepy little home town of Freedom, Wyoming to the relatively enormous city of Boise, Idaho to go to the Military Entrance Processing Station. This wasn 't the first time I had been this far from home by myself, but it was the first time I was making adult decisions without my parents involvement. When it came time for me to choose my job in the army the counselors presented me with a long list that I qualified for. I got tired of scrolling and reading so I chose the first job that I actually understood. I returned home and excitedly told my parents that I would be an infantry soldier. My dad 's response to this might be considered a little less than heart warming “You dumb ass. Why didn 't you choose
Like everyone else, family and friends have played a vital part in my life and have affected my outlook on money and career. I grew up in a family of six, with my father, who is an IT engineer, as the head and sole breadwinner of the family because in my country -Saudi Arabia- there aren’t many opportunities for women to advance. Although he made sure that we lived a pretty comfortable life, I would often see him foregoing his needs and wants to fulfil those of his family. So, I wondered about how different our lives could have been if my mom (or me as the oldest child) were working along with him. I believe that a person
Then in eighth grade I came to the United States so this occupation change and got more difficult. Now I had to learn a new language and get used to a different education system and a new culture. I remember this being very difficult and frustrating because I wanted to do well in my classes but I didn 't understand my professors or the material, Luckily I was placed in a bilingual system with great people that were willing to help kids like me learn the language and be successful. Also at this stage of my life I was aware of the fact that if I wanted to be successful and have a good career I had to do well and finish school.
