'''About Me''' | '''About Me''' | ||
I | I was born in Pakistan, not too long ago and spent a few years of my childhood in Fort Collins, Colorado where my father was a graduate (PHd) student at Colorado State University. When I was 8yrs old my family moved back to Pakistan and I stayed in Pakistan till 2006 when I went on a Fulbright summer program to the University of Tennessee for 6 weeks. After that summer in Tennessee, USA I went back to Pakistan and then spent last summer (2007) in Iran, where my father currently works (he's buidling a dam). | ||
I | I am expecting to graduate with a BS in Environmental Sciences in May 08. I am not sure what I will be doing after that, except for spending my summers in Iran again (which I really enjoy). Eventually, I want to be a college professor at the Environmental Sciences department in my home institute in Pakistan. | ||
'''Coming to Clarion University from half way across the world''' <br> | |||
Sponsored by the State Department of the United States, the NESA (Near East South Asian) exchange program aims at promoting mutual understanding between the people of the NESA countries and the Americans. A handful of undergraduate students from Pakistan, Egypt, Tunisia, India, Oman, Yemen and Palestine were selected and placed in universities across America for an entire academic year. As a NESA student from Pakistan I am attending Clarion University, majoring in Environmental Sciences.<br> It took me a total of 30 hours to get to Clarion from Pakistan and so far it has been worth the trip! I welcome any questions any one would have about Pakistan, how we live ( I was asked if we had houses!..YES!), what I do for fun, how college life is back home, and Pakistan's role in the war on terror etc. <br> So far this online course has been the most interesting thing I have ever done- its exciting and new! In my college back home, computers or the internet still have not catched on, everything is pretty much paper-based. So this is definitly a first for me and I am really enjoying it! | |||
