عن RAHAF SHAWQI:

My vision and hope is for a future where everyone is at their best version of themselves socially and emotionally.

Someone said "People will never truly understand something until it happens to them", when I was a teen I experienced feeling down, had long episodes of instability and depression, I needed help, a help I couldn’t find anywhere, because of the stigma and lack of resources, I was in a free fall, until I turned the tide and developed myself emotionally and mentally, learned how to march forward the hard way.

I still remember the second it happened; the spark I was missing my entire life, it ignited when I found the meaning of my things around me, started to cognitively process the world around me in much mire positive way, and now I took the responsibility upon myself to help other young people whom I see my younger self in them, I love putting my expertise in this topic to good use through one- on-one counseling sessions or group workshops and classes. I motivate the youth to see their negative past and current circumstances in a more hopeful and positive light, a light that can enlighten their future into success and prosperity.

At my previous position at Princess Basma Secondary School , I worked as a counselor and helped a wide variety of students improve their lives by teaching them effective coping techniques and helping them to change their behavioral patterns. I have always enjoyed interacting with each student and learning how I can help them face daily challenges.

If we worked together for at least 3 months you'll find out that I'm a FINISHER, beside I'm good at 3 things (creativity, influence people's minds, giving comfort), on the other hand I'm bad at (telling jokes). No one is perfect, Right!

Furthermore, I enjoy meeting new people and new perspectives, reach out if you want to talk about Modern theories, solving problems, or Swimming!
