From science to business
This will be my first post in Insider magazine and I’m honestly wondering if my articles will please you but I hope so.
First let me introduce myself my name is Douaa Chaloun I’m 18 years old, I’m an international freshman at south-eastern UAS and I’m coming straight away from Morocco. I was born originally in El Jadida a small city which is maybe most of you won’t know it but I would like to say it’s close to Casablanca!
This year was my last one in high school and as most of you know we’re all torn and we don’t know what we’ll do. I was looking for in the internet seeing videos on youtube wishing that I can find something interesting but it didn’t help me at all even the orientation week in my school didn’t help me I was confused and afraid of studying something that I won’t like
Then I wrote on google the well-paid jobs and guess what it was all related to business
But how? I’m a scientific student I was only studying physics chemistry maths science! How a scientific girl can become a business student?
I started searching the criteria of a business student so I found out so many that match my requirements such as being curious ambitious and one who likes working and being able to work in a group. Personally, I always believed the importance of working and being within a group is the easiest way to fulfill and accomplish a purpose. For instance, I have witnessed and lived so many experiences as a freshman in high school: we interviewed people we worked and presented projects together but the most important thing we learned how to become a self-confident person and how to face our fear as well.
Hopefully, my family supported me a lot especially that their work is related to business
My mother is an accountant and responsible for sales administration my father is a tradesman and my brother is currently studying finance as well
So that was a huge convenience for me to apply for this program “Digital international business“
But then being so far away from your family approximately 5000km is this convenient too?
Well, I would say bravery is the most crucial of all the virtues since you can’t regularly practice any other virtue until you have courage!
