For me, attending the conference was almost the best week in my life. I couldn’t believe that I’m in the place I always wanted to be although all the difficulties and everything. Everyone there was very helpful and trying to make it easy on scholars in work and also outside work. Imagine people from all over the world and they all meet in one place and there’s no piercer who feels alone or anything. When it was the last day and we were finalizing everything, I stopped for a minute wishing that this week could repeated again and the idea was in my mind mind until I returned to Dubai. I miss the people there, the work, the activities and classes. All the best to everyone who made this a thing for piercers to feel that they belong to a place.

This was hands down one of the best decisions I have ever made to apply for the scholarship. The doors this will open, the people you’ll meet, and the things you’ll learn. This scholarship changed everything about my life and career and I’m eternally grateful for the opportunities it has presented to me. If you are thinking of applying for any of the scholarships please do, this is a life changing experience for me, in both career and learning opportunities.
