" Samah Saad, when she was abroad as a participant in an international competition despite who she is; her background or her profile, her country’s name is what appeared the most to others. Every time she asked a question; every time she engaged in a discussion; every time the mic was given to her… she emphasized ‘’from Algeria’’. She loved representing her country in a diverse multinational gathering, and introducing the capacities Algerian youth held. It was beyond oneself, but more as putting in the spotlight every talented; ambitious; powerful young man and woman from her country, by the way she behaved and won. She led the team who won the first prize of the competition. All what she has learned; all the effort she has put in the competition; all the tough moments the ups and downs the tears… but in that one moment she was on the stage; so proud; and everyone looking at her as a winner, all what she had in mind is the Algerian flag that was in her hands. Raising her country’s flag for everyone to realize that Algerian youth are capable of everything once the chance is given to them. Once the opportunity is given to them! "

It’s not only about meeting people but about making friendships, having those talks, those crazy moments of fun, late walks and deep conversations with people who share the same ambition as you do, people with whom you share many commun points, those people are one of the best souls you can ever meet ! It’s also an opportunity to explore a new country and discover the real life of locals, living a full journey of amazing moments, but before all learning in knowledge, skills and attitude, learning from studying, living and experiencing, learning by passion. As a conclusion, you will never come-back to the country as the same person, you will comeback better, a better version of you, a person who went beyond the limits, broke all the confort zones, it’s better than you will ever expect and every moment of it will be engraved in your heart forever.
