"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. Here in Switzerland there are so many opportunities to go to school. There are many different directions you can go and still be successful which I think is very important and helpful. Most kids don‘t know right away what they want to become so this gives them time to think and fulfill their dreams. Girls and boys can get education where i'm from, unlike other places around the world. Your gender shouldn’t determine wether you get an education. I am so thankful for what I can do here in Switzerland. There are many families coming from poor lands to Switzerland. I love helping these kids learning the language. I have been learning the language for 4 years now and it’s still difficult for me. Everyone has a chance to learn here which I think is life changing for children who weren’t able to earlier. Everyone should deserve a chance to have a book in his/her hand and learn something new. A dream doesn’t become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work."
