The girl on thic picture is a 25 year dreamer.Professionally a Lecturer and researcher in Green Economics. She travelled to Switzerland for her MBA and then to UK for Phd which proves her passion for being a global citizen.This girl is Shahla Khan- me,myself and I!
WHY AM I HERE?
I was born and brought up in Saudi Arabia and then shifted to India with my parents for further education.Later I moved to Swiss for MBA and now in the UK for my PhD.Having lived and travelled in these few contradictory parts of the world, I have encountered hunger, poverty, income inequalities, conservativeness, violence, racism and lots of other social evils. I do not believe in blaming the Government or God for every wrong thing that happens around me.
This is why I believe in bringing about a change- internally within my self and externally within other people. I realize there is a lot that we can do but only if we recognize our passions.I recognized my passion towards making a change and joined the UNYSA UK where I currently hold the post of Organizational Officer.I then introduced this society to my university and then I became the founder and president of UNYSA UWIC. I successfully with my team organized the World Food Day and then the World Aids Day just within a few months of our birth! I trust my capabilities but need to polish them further and this is why I am here.
MY interests-
I love poetry and Economics-I know its a rare combinition but cant help it! :)
My philosophy of life-
I believe I am the foundation of this earth because I am a woman.I can do lots to make earth a world of love and I turn red when I see violence against women.Whatever I do in life,I respect myself for being a woman!
“Because I am a woman, I must make unusual efforts to succeed. If I fail, no one will say, "She doesn't have what it takes"; They will say, "Women don't have what it takes"
Clare Boothe Luce
I also believe in the power of learning because only a good learner can be a good teacher and preacher.Thus if we desire to bring about a change in the world, we need to change ourselves first and learn this skill.
I am here for that.This platform shall make me a better learner!
Hi Shahla,,,I was very impressed with your introduction. We have a lot of similarities in interests & passion. As a woman I also always think that I have to do something "big" & useful for my world,,,our world... If we're a women, It doesn't mean that we're limited to do something. Young period is the best period for women to reach many achievement & do something useful for their environtment.
ReplyDeleteI also became the founder of ISAFOST (Indonesia Association on Food Science & Technology) in my University & also success organized the World Food Day Event with my team (Hey,,,we're almost same) ^^
I think for the next time we can share ideas to held an interest World Food Day Event! Of course we will share many ideas in this course,,,share your ideas & we will make it come true
Move with the spirit of inspiring people!
Create a change to creat a Better World!
Cheers,
