From Gaza to Europe: A Young Girl's Dream Finally Coming True!
Vetted by Mahmoud khalaf here.
Before the genocidal war on Gaza, I was immersed in the university life and enjoying studying English literature at the Islamic University in Gaza (IUG), which was utterly destroyed by Isr*ael. They desroyed the place which helped me find my passion in this life: performing on stage in English.
My family and I have been displaced multiple times and we ended up now in a tent that does not protect us from any bullets, shrapnel or the cold and rain of winter. I have never thought I would have to live such hellish conditions at the age of 20, an age at which I was expecting to be studying at university and enjoying the company of my friends like any other girls my age around the world!!!
Amid the pain, horrors of war and many near death experiences, luckily, I was awarded a scholarship to do a BA in English Language and Literature at Mary Immaculate College in Ireland. A glimmer of hope shone in my sky, happiness rushed strongly through my veins, and a voice within me roared: "A unique destiny awaits you, Sarah. Seize this opportunity, honor your people abroad, and use your talent to tell the world about Palestine and touch their hearts."

I am literally at a crossroads at this stage in my life. I could keep running from a place to another with my family searching for safety and wasting years of my life without education. Or, you could help me evacuate with my family to Egypt and then go to study at Mary Immaculate College in Ireland.
