“We heard of an announcement from JRS that they were looking for people to be trained as car-mechanics. So I applied and my name came out on a list and I started. I was interested in going to the school to become a mechanic and I found out that it’s not that difficult. I am a mechanic woman. I can fix your car, your engine. Being a refugee can’t stop me from doing what I’m able to do. To fulfill my vision, to realize my dream. And my dream is to be a big mechanic woman and I’m going to do it.”
