>Why I applied to the Jean Goguikian Scholarship and how has it helped

I applied to the Jean Goguikian Scholarship because I loved the idea of working in a ministry in my country in order to provide the best for my community, especially the Armenian community. This scholarship has a wonderful aim, which is to support a great group of young people that have goals in their lives and want to accomplish their dreams .
This scholarship helped me to take the first and most important step in my life, to build my bridge towards success and made me realize that being a winner in life is when you help your community and give your best to help your country.

>My hopes for the Lebanese Armenian community’s future

I believe that students and adults like me want to provide the best to their communities, with the help of an amazing foundation like The Goguikian Foundation we will hopefully be able to do that and have a better Armenian community in Lebanon by improving their financial situation and work conditions, providing better education and healthcare, and empowering the youth .

>My inspirations

Honestly speaking, the person who has been a great inspiration to me and holds a big space in my heart is my father. He always gives me the strength to keep moving forward and keep climbing the mountain of my life. He always teaches me to never despair and help the people around me, and give the best to my Armenian community.
