#first-jobemployment-story

Before  one and  half  year ago, after war in sudan. And my whole future destroyed like other Sudanese, i was very very under depression, i was lost i didn't know what to do how to do it?


But i didn't waste my time and future me is really appreciated this to past me, you girl did the greatest thing ever ;)


I start searching for anything can  save my future, as any one else, of course i think about applying  in  scholarship. Even i paid a lot for people to apply for me, but one day i stoped paying and i said to my self, why not give it a try and apply by myself?


Why not to write those letter by myself.


I was afraid to fail specially that i have to write all those letters for application in English, huh me? I Even don't know how to write essay!


But I practice and practice, watching videos, and doing everything i can do to know how to win scholarship.


And then i learned that its not only scholarship that i can applied for, we also have grants, financial aid and student loans. So i went a little crazy, yes i applied 😂for some reason i was applying for scholarships, volunteering , financial aids, and anything for free. I get alot of rejection 😂but i learned every thing.


How to write financial aid letter, motivation, proposal ans cover letter. What you should do to convenience them, what are the important information to mention and everything, also iam still learning.


I won some of those scholarships. I was very happy, even it doesn't fit my expectations or what i want. And yes i reject some 😂i went from being rejected to reject the scholarship.


Long story short, i never expected me working as a grant writer, i never expected that knowledge will not only be beneficial for me but else!


Now, after all these time, iam an employee in an organisation, working for them as grant writer! Can you imagine?


Giving Is Healing Foundation!
