Growing Tech Professionals
"My Experience as an SEI benefactor:
Often in life the best things happen just when all hope is seem lost and there no light at the end of the tunnel. At that point in my life it was when Self-Empowerment Inc. stepped in and changed everything for me. I began to have hope again with the assurance of achieving my dreams.
I got the opportunity to be the first benefactor of SEI self-empowerment program. Three years ago, I can vividly remember me hustling for an opportunity to get a scholarship to leave Liberia and pursue my dream of becoming an Information Technologist Professional (IT). Within that time I came across SEI when the idea of starting the program had just begun. I was chosen as the first benefactor to start the program.
Fast forward I applied to a school in India (Lovely Professional University) and I got accepted. This would be my new home away from home for the next three years. From finding a suitable school to the application process and finally arriving in India SEI was there through it all helping me in the process. Through the guidance of SEI founder (Ernesto D. Herbert) and SEI Liberia’s head (Edward Dickson) I was able to complete all the formalities and get to India in time to start my program.
My time in India was a one of great experiences. By the grace of God I achieved my ultimate goal (Bachelors in Computer Applications (BCA)) within the stipulated timeframe with a GPA of 3.5. I can say without doubt that I did not just achieve my ultimate goal but a wholesome growth that took place. This is something I never thought would have been possible but thanks to SEI for the tremendous efforts in helping me achieve my goal.
The intent of this program is to help raise young people like me to become self-empowered and to also help others in the same way. The idea (Each-One-Teach-One) resonates with me in every aspect as I believe we should render help to each despite where we are from. I strongly believe in the ideology of this organisation not just as a benefactor but someone who believes in lending a hand to someone who is in need. As I gear up for my next challenge, I am going with the hope of coming back strong to help the growth and development of SEI programs in Liberia and hopefully extending to other parts of the world."
