Helin’s Story from a Small-Town Graduate to an Inspiring Educator

From self-doubt to teaching success.

Iam 21 years old. When I joined the course, I was in my 4th year studying Computer Networks and Information Security. Before participating, I felt that as a fatherless girl in a small town like

Akre, I would not be able to find work after graduating. But after taking the Step Up program, many changes occurred in my thinking and mindset. The program encouraged me to read several books like Mindset and Surrounded by Idiots books I really needed to read. I graduated this year and now Iam a teacher at the Private Computer Science Institute in Akre.

During my interview, despite having lower credentials than others, I was selected as the best teacher by using techniques I learned from Step Up. I continue using these tips and techniques in my daily life and have benefited greatly from them.
