Social Activism

I was the first family member who gained formal education. I suffered from severe undiagnosed ADHD, and due to the difficult neighborhood, I lived in, I developed a problematic behavior as a teenager.

My life changed when my father told me “learn, so you won’t become like me”. Since then, I studied for the sake of better future for my family and me. In high-school graduated from Software Engineering class with the highest GPA of my class, but life become more difficult since I left home and begun my military service and Bachler’s degree. Especially due to the fact that I had to work for living and that I didn’t know anyone who could understand the challenges I was facing. Several times, I almost had to quit school. Then, I promised myself that I will do anything in order to help teenagers and students from the social and economic peripheries to find and pursue their dreams. Hence, I established Learn to Succeed.
