I majored in IT for my degree at An-Najah University and have since struggled to find a job. Last session I decided to volunteer at TYO and it was so much fun. I learned I love working with children because they are silly and make me smile. When I am here I am filled with so much happiness. Now I know that I enjoy my time working with children more than IT, so I hope to find a job where children are the focus.

Education is so important. We need education so that we can develop ourselves and develop our country, and also because education really helps people. I love working with the little children, but it can be hard. In the beginning, they always started to cry, and it can be hard to control them, but we try. We try to hold them and be soft to them. And we succeed! My best memory of playing with them is when we went outside with another class and played football with my class against his. My team won!

My goal is to work with children in the local hospital and currently I study Health Management. I received my first degree in nursing and worked with children but I did not know how to deal with them. TYO has given me the opportunity to develop my skills in leadership through the local intern program.

I am having a great time with the kids at TYO. After my Bachelor’s degree, I would like to continue my studies and accomplish my dream of opening an English club for children. I would like to use my experience to make a lasting impact in the lives of children in the region. Children are very clever, they communicate with other children very easily most of the time.
