Mapping Past

Education is simply the soul of a society as it passes from one generation to another.

G. K. Chesterson

I asked myself: "What has impacted me the most as a person?" The answer is my journey to get a good education. This journey has made me sacrifice the most precious things in my life: my family, friends and culture. However, it has made me a young woman of dignity by giving me a purpose in life and by opening the doors of unexpected opportunities.

conclusion:

Today I am 40 years old, and I am the head of the Arts department at NYU. It was a long and steep way to make it here. However, the fulfillment and gratification I feel, knowing that I succeeded, is unexplainable. I am the person I am today because of my ambition and dreams, which I was able to realize without the help of the Lebanese schools, universities, or government. I still feel a heavy burden on my heart when I think about my childhood friends, the students who didn't have enough money to graduate and those who didn't have the chance to go to school. My experience has taught me that education is the greatest gift in life, the gift that empowers humans and offers them a life of dignity. Today, I give money to educate people, help improve schools and establish new ones. Every nation and every government should do the same. Education should be a goal that every human being should work to achieve and help achieve. It should be the Goal of all millenniums
