MY JOURNEY TOWARD SEEU

 I’m a twenty-one-year-old student in
Tetovo, Macedonia. Originally from
Chitral KPK, Pakistan. I am doing a
bachelor’s in computer sciences from
Southeast European university
Macedonia. I have done my schooling
At Frontier Crops Public School Chitral,
then I completed my college from
Government Girls Degree College
Chitral.
I am an optimist girl. I am the one who
has big dreams. Always trying to reach
big achievements. I always do
something that I want, and I try to make
something different than the other
doesn’t mind it yet. I always try to give
the best especially for myself and for
other people.

 My desire to study abroad has

been a lifelong ambition of mine
since I was in fifth grade. Traveling
overseas and learning about a new
culture, way of life, and country has
always been a goal of mine. It was
not as simple as I had anticipated;
it was a major step. To achieve my
goal, I had to overcome numerous
obstacles. I was constantly looking
for universities and was desperate
to be accepted, but as time
passed, I understood that traveling
abroad would take a long time.
Suddenly, something magical
happens.

 I began my search for universities in my

nation. While I was working on those
applications, I received a mail from my
father announcing a scholarship from the
Shams Family Foundation (SFF). He wants
me to apply for it, and I've already filled out
the application with no hope. I was under
the impression that admittance would be
difficult to obtain and that the process
would take a long time. I forgot about this
admission for a few months until I received
an email from SFF inviting me to an
interview on May 5th. I was excited, and the
interview went well. That thought was in my
head: don't expect too much if everything
works out; if it doesn't, it'll be fine. I traveled
to Pakistan's capital, Islamabad, for
admissions, and on the 11th of June, I
received wonderful news from SFF and
Southeast European University.
 VISA PROCESS

with the help of Sana
Applied for the visa
travel and tours we got our visa of Dubai. and
got that on the 2nd of October. For the
second we went to Abu Dhabi from there we
get our visa for Macedonia on 22nd NOV.

Time to Fly

were never easy for me and
Saying goodbyes
especially to the family it was not. It makes
me sad to leave them and shift to another
place. Letting go isn’t always the reason for
sorrow, that there is still beauty to be found
in even the saddest Farewell. With lots of
Hopes, Wishes I started my journey towards
my dreams.
t
 Peshawar

Here I take my first flight with my mother and

said goodbyes to the rest of the Family on the
10th of NOV. My heart was melting on the way
to the airport.

Karachi
I stayed with my mother
for 10 days before getting
my tickets for the next
destination on November
20th. I was attempting to
create as many memories
as possible with her. Then
it was time for the most
difficult part of all: saying
my final goodbyes to my
mother. I held her one
more time, fighting back
tears and acting heroically
in front of her.

Dubai
Fortunately, we were only
there for three days, but it
was a wonderful pleasure
to visit this gorgeous
place on November 23rd.
It's one of the places I've
always wanted to go. In
just three days, we visited
several places in Dubai
and explored the entire
city.

SEEU
It was a great moment to see SEEU for

the first time. We were welcomed by

our dean and pro-Dean. Our pro-Dean
is such a sweet and welcoming lady.
She makes you feel at home in Tetovo.
We have become adjusted here so
quickly. It is a beautiful place with
friendly and cooperative people.
It has been two months here
everything is so good
