    Request of Master-card financial aid student

    Background:

    My father has passed away during the Somali civil war in 1998. The civil war moved
    families away from their homes. It destroyed markets, schools, governmental buildings,
    hospitals, business centers and all that mattered to society. For over two decades, it
    killed brother, father, a teacher, a doctor, an engineer, and many other important pillars
    in the Somali society that our world will not be as beautiful without them. I wish to bring
    this to an end. 

    I attended Ahmed Dhagah public primary school which is located in Hargeisa, and I
    finished it in academic year 2009/2010 with a grade of 90% of grading scale. In 2013 I
    graduated from one of the best private Secondary schools in Hargeisa, Sunshine first
    school. And again I scored a decent grade “B+”.

    I started my undergraduate studies at a government university in Hargeisa called


    Hargeisa University, I had little idea of where I was heading, my academic background
    in Electronics and communication Engineering coupled with my innate interest to
    explore the nuances of the ECE, I have realized and observed a drastic yet consistent
    sophistication in the electrical and computer products and services across the world.

    For the first four semesters, my mother paid the tuition fees, unfortunately, after those
    four semesters she couldn't afford to pay the tuition fees. That is why I am looking for a
    chance of getting a part-time job. I started working in a mini restaurant small business,
    so I work for them eight hours each day and the owner of the restaurant agreed with me
    to pay my university fees.

    The reason why I am applying this Master-card foundation scholars program at AUB is
    to assist my family financially and reduce the financial burden on them, and also to
    make my dreams come true, because I came from a low financial situation family, my
    parents barely afford the high tuition fees to go abroad universities.  Also, I am the first
    person to go to University in my family. In addition, there is lack of tertiary education
    intuitions that can provide me with the same assistance to become an engineer.

    What I could contribute to my Country and society if I reach this position:

    I come to see a solution in finding the leader that directs his people with open-
    mindedness, patience, critical thinking, fairness, I think we need a person that closes
    the gap of distrust amongst the Somali clans by mirroring the characters above in his or
    her every day’s life. With the assistance of the society, I believe to participate bringing
    an international investors to increase job creation and reduce poverty and youth
    unemployment. The presence of international investors will increase the skills and
    knowledge of the youth which will promote sustainable economic growth.
    To get well equipped knowledgeable generation will adapt to technological and
    economic development and will do less in civil war as young people become educated,
    and tribalism and community-based society will be reduced to a knowledge-based
    society and order, and we establish technical and vocational training institutes.

    This is the reason I am interested in pursuing a Master's degree in Engineering; an


    educational experience I believe you would equip me with the required experience to
    influence and impact my society. I am an individual with enormous creativity and ability
    to propound live changing ideas. Extremely passionate about initiatives that motivate
    people, talent and skill development that can be tailored towards desired career paths.
