Zaid, Syria
HEC has opened the doors to limitless possibilities, allowing me to imagine a future where my once far-fetched dreams can become a reality.
As a Syrian national, I was aware of the preconceived notions that people hold towards my country and its people. It was not just the perception that hurt me the most, but the reality of the limited opportunities that were available to me due to my nationality. The travel restrictions, work restrictions, and countless other obstacles that I faced, were a constant reminder of my perceived disadvantage.
However, I did not let these limitations define me and refused to let my circumstances dictate my future. Instead, I chose to be resilient, knowing that life rewards those who never give up.
This resilience has paid off in the form of the incredible opportunity of the HEC Imagine Fellowship. HEC has opened the doors to limitless possibilities, allowing me to imagine a future where my once far-fetched dreams can become a reality.
It is often said that after all the material and non-material achievements that one can accumulate in life, the most profound and lasting legacy is the change that one leaves behind.
I hope to one day be in a position where I, too, can make this beautiful impact, which is changing the lives students who grew up in disadvantaged conditions.
