About Me
I am someone who loves trying out new things and thinks far with vision. I am creative, a good public speaker and a good listener. I am choosy and I always want the best, and I am very influential in organizations. I love skating, traveling and meeting new people. The unique thing about where I live is that people appreciate whatever little they have.
I find opportunities where other people see none: I turn ideas into projects, and projects into serial success. My bad times are when things don't work out the way I intended them to be.
I always try to be a role model to many girls in my society. Life is not always what I want it to be: so many hardships, though I am not giving up .
My Business
I work for a media agency as a communication and PR assistant. That is what I studied in school. I love my job since it's all about creativity and getting to meet new people and maintain a good image. I hope that one day I will have my own media agency because communication is the main thing in life.
This is my first job since I cleared school in April 2014, and beside this I would love to get a side job that can generate income and enable me to pay for my sister's school fees and cater for our needs too.
I also help the needy frequently, and during my free time I spend most of my time with them.
Loan Proposal
I would like to start a poultry business. I chose this type of a business because I know how how to handle poultry, since I have grown up in a society where poultry keeping is one of the economic activities. From the income I will be able to pay my school fees and continue with my education. From this income I will also pay my sister's school fees and also cater for our basic needs.
