pay our educational expenses in Yemen.
My education has contributed to who I am today by giving me the ability to help my family in America.
Education helped me translate to my mother when she goes to the offices and hospitals. Education also gave me the opportunity to help my sisters and brothers in order to help them through understanding English.

Learning English was the most important part of my life. I dint know any English when I Came to the United Sates. The greatest challenge that I’ve overcome was reading, writing and speaking English. When I first came to America it was so hard and overwhelming for me, because I did not know how to write, speak or read English. However my optimism inspired me to overcome them by working hard, talking to my classmates and asking for assistance. My next step after high school was college. I promise to myself to work extremely hard to reward my family and community because they are the cause of my motivation to get to this stage. I will improve my family's life through my education by making money, buying a house, and making everything more than sufficient for them. Being the first in my family to attend college motivated me, because I will be a role model to my siblings. Many people are suffering in my country because they don’t have enough nurses; this will be a great recognition for me because I will have a significant role in assisting them. Education also have opened the door for me in order to help community. As of today I helped some people who are refugees when they need help. Education have benefit me throughout my life. Education always plays a huge role in my life because if I am educated, I will be given much respect. Also education will decide if my future will either be negative or positive so that I can be in control of my future and my destiny.
