She has been living overseas for 13 years now, and she believes in the mantra “Design your life you want to live”.
As a child, Sarah started her career by selling vegetables and anything that could help her meet her daily needs at school. She learned to make candies and sold school supplies and even did projects for her teachers and classmates to save her expenses at school. Despite facing fears and being bullied, she stood tall and shared her experiences in life. She was always eager to do school group projects for her classmates because she was paid for it. However, the snobbish, rich classmates would ask her to make the project reports at school on a weekly basis, and they even called her names just to trigger her faith.
When Sarah started working in the UAE as a salesperson, she struggled with overcoming the feeling of being lesser than others based on her lineage.
“I know the struggle of overcoming what it feels like to be lesser than others based on a lineage that I am now openly proud to identify with,” she said.
Over the years, she changed her careers several times, going from sales to banking. Raising children alone was her most challenging situation, especially when she was alone. This is why she had to think of alternative ways to secure their future.
“I have to think of alternatives because the most affected are the children, I’m talking about their future,” she added.
Sarah’s journey was not easy, but she overcame crippling insecurities, devastating heartbreaks, and moments where she considered letting her dreams fade away. However, she remained resolved not to be a victim of these difficulties.
The reason Sarah left her country was that there was no sustainability for her children’s future. She faced economic crises and even became jobless for a year in 2017. During that time, she used her car as a home and also used it for transportation to pick up and drop people so she could earn a few coins for her survival. She managed to finish strong, all along the way, finding her purpose. Despite being homeless and jobless, the most painful part was leaving her children behind when she decided to leave her hometown.
