In the realm of life's unexpected turns, there exists a profound truth: every disappointment has the potential to unveil a hidden blessing. This sentiment resonates deeply with my own journey, which took an unforeseen twist when I failed to secure a scholarship to study engineering. Little did I know that this disappointment would ultimately lead me to discover a new path—teaching—one that ignited a passion within me and set me on a transformative course.

My vision for the future is one where more girls break free from stereotypes and enthusiastically embrace careers in STEM fields. Leveraging my expertise as a computer science teacher and the various opportunities provided at Open Dreams, I am determined to empower girls to excel in the world of technology.

Based on my firsthand experience with Open Dreams, I have witnessed the transformative power of educational mentorship in changing lives. Looking ahead, I am excited to combine education, mentorship, and technology to shape the next generation of technologically savvy youth, who possess the passion, zeal, laser focus, and an aspiration to bring about positive change in their communities.
