KDI School has been a transformative chapter in my life, filled with invaluable experiences that have shaped my personal and professional growth. My time here has instilled in me a critical thinking mindset, empowering me to approach challenges with fresh perspectives and enhanced problem-solving abilities.

One of the most enriching aspects of my journey has been the cultural exchange fostered by KDI School’s diverse community. Interacting with peers from various countries has broadened my worldview, deepened my appreciation for global diversity, and enriched my understanding of different cultural perspectives.

Beyond the classroom, KDI School provides numerous professional development opportunities, including seminars, conferences, and workshops. These experiences have enhanced my knowledge and inspired me to bring new insights back to my role at the Somali Federal Parliament. A standout moment was my participation in a workshop at the Korean Legislation Research Institute, where I gained valuable insights into legislative research. This experience underscored the need for similar initiatives in my home institution, motivating me to advocate for such advancements.

Another remarkable feature of KDI School is the flexibility it offers in learning. The ability to tailor my schedule and select courses that align with my personal and professional goals has made my academic experience both effective and fulfilling.

Equally significant has been the mentorship and guidance from the professors at KDI School. Their profound knowledge, dedication, and willingness to build lasting connections have greatly impacted me. Many of them have become mentors and trusted friends, leaving an indelible mark on my academic and professional journey.

Additionally, my active participation in the KDI School football club has been a highlight of my time here. Engaging in football allowed me to make friends, enjoy the thrill of both victory and defeat, and maintain my mental well-being amid academic pressures. The camaraderie and teamwork on the field have added a layer of joy and balance to my school life, making it a truly enriching experience.

KDI School has been more than just an educational institution; it has been a foundation for my growth, a source of lifelong connections, and a beacon of inspiration. I will forever cherish the lessons learned, the friendships formed, and the unforgettable moments that have made this journey extraordinary.
