I am Fadia, an Egyptian-Lebanese, residing in Lebanon, from the 28th batch of the Green Village Lebanon. I am currently 26 years old. I graduated in special education for people with special needs. Initially, I always wanted to be self-reliant, financially independent, and feel important in this society, but my studies were suspended for a period due to bad circumstances, and I was not a social person. I always isolated myself and hid behind everyone. My journey was not easy. I went through many, many crises and obstacles, fear, stress, poor living conditions, early responsibilities, and
many other things.
I was thinking that I was a person who does not change and that I was not good for anything.
In the middle of my depression, I came across LP4Y on Instagram and loved the concept. I felt that they had read my dreams and that it was the place where I would start a new beginning away from the boredom of those who discouraged me, the first of whom being my parents. I applied and I was not expecting much, but they surprised me by contacting me and accepting me to join. I was very happy as if I had seen Hope for a better life.
With a lot of fear, tension, and astonishment I joined the Green Village. I was there for 3 months and it was the most beautiful experience I had ever lived. The Catalysts were very kind with their encouraging reception and support for us in all our steps during the most tough times. All the young women, Coaches and beautiful leaders at LP4Y trusted us and taught us everything they could.
Now, I am an independent woman financially and in life. I do not hide behind anyone. My voice is heard and my looks are sharp, and I know my abilities. I know that I CAN. All of you can never lose hope, there is always an opportunity waiting for you.
I hope to be able to travel and work abroad in the field of specialized education with a good job contract. I am strongly looking forward to that and I am trying to work hard to achieve it now. This is my dream. In the distant future, after I gain sufficient experience in life and work, I also aspire to work in the Life Project 4 Youth, which is currently being opened in Egypt.
