As a computer science student, my only focus was on my department, unaware that I could progress in other areas of life beyond my field. My only priority was my studies. After joining

the Step Up program and continuing with it, developing myself and my relationships to advance in my desired field, I became manager of a spa hotel, built great relationships,

increased my personal capabilities, improved my Arabic, learned skilled management, learned from my mistakes, and gained additional skills. I obtained an online job and

became an employee of a company in Baghdad... Received many certificates and made a trip to Iran. Now Iam working on completing research that can benefit the Kurdish language and develop AI for Kurdish. Thanks to the beneficial Step Up program and everyone who contributed to it."
