We have often heard phrases like “I did it my way,” “I worked with what I had,” or “I reinvented myself.” Hidden within these statements, though we might not always notice it, are valuable skills like creativity, resilience, and autonomy.
Over time, we’ve discovered that setting goals and objectives while building a life project is essential for emotional development. Our task is to guide new generations in creating their own unique worlds, places where their ideas make sense. This way, our scholarship recipients can have their own world, built with their essence.
Creating a life project is, above all, an exercise in freedom. Here, a girl can start by choosing small goals for her life, working hard to achieve them, and gaining confidence to take on new challenges along the way. Her life project will expand her choices beyond the educational realm, involving her physical health, emotions, the environment, and her family. As her vision changes, she can engage with her community, personal finances, and decision-making.
Decisions that are freer and more responsible. During the month of November, the Scholarship Program holds presentations of ‘Life Projects.’ In this process and during the presentations, they are accompanied by their parents, schoolmates, educational authorities, and Scholarship Program Technicians.
