Amany, with her hardworking spirit and unwavering dedication, is a young content creator who is making an impact in people’s lives. Her work as a Spanish translator reflects a passion for intercultural exchange and dialogue.
As a child, Amany dreamt of becoming a lawyer, but as she grew older, her interests began to shift. She is academically accomplished, graduating from high school with flying colors and ranking third in the entire country. After participating in the EU ‘s Erasmus+ programme, Amany saw firsthand the transformative power of travel and the opportunities it could provide. She realized that her true calling was to inspire and encourage others to seek out these same opportunities for themselves. “First thing I thought of doing afterwards is just to share the opportunity.” , she explains.
Her passion for education and lifelong learning is reflected in the type of content she creates. Amany shares information about EU-funded opportunities, and travel-related content, all with the goal of having a positive impact on people’s lives.
Although Amany’s proudest moment was when she graduated from high school, her proudest achievement remains the positive impact she has made on others’ lives. A post she shared about an opportunity in Egypt led a young man to follow the link and participate in the program, which ultimately led to him starting his own business. Amany’s belief in the power of sharing opportunities has proven to be life-changing for many.
“Youth in the region can’t find many opportunities, and sometimes applying is difficult for them as they don’t get how to navigate the website or understand the resources. That’s what I try to help with.”
As with any journey, Amany has faced challenges along the way. While creating content, the main challenge she faced was how to balance filming/producing content for her channel whilst being fully engaged in the moment and enjoying the experience to its fullest. She grappled with finding the right shot, angle, and image, all while taking in the true essence of the location she was exploring or the activity she was participating in. But her dedication to sharing her experiences with others has always prevailed, and she continues to inspire and motivate others to seek out their own opportunities to help themselves and help their country.
Amany’s hardwork and dedication are proof that even one person can make a difference in the world.
