The Only Place...Afghanistan



The only place I would remember is Afghanistan.  A place which is full of dust and heat. A place where blood and tears have streamed down more than rain, for over 30 years. A place where innocent & harmless people have been hurt, wounded and killed because of the long the tragic war and ongoing violence. Lives have shattered. Dreams left unfulfilled and, people forced to beg for food in the dirty rough ground. The women turning widow, children losing a father & mother losing her son. 💔😔🇦🇫

The Struggles of a Graduate...

Image
Three years of hardcore concentration, tears, and constant hard work to obtain a BA degree and become a qualified journalist, a profession Diana longed for since acknowledging the value of education and realizing her potentials. She put a lot of effort into ensuring she succeeds and eventually graduates with a good grade. Diana is optimistic and has a positive approach towards nearly everything she does, including obtaining a degree and finding a job within her field of study. At the same time, she was still aware that accomplishing such a desire would not be that straightforward. Nonetheless, she never imagined it would be too draining and almost impossible either. It has become widely known that graduating with a degree does not guarantee a job relevant to the field of study. People like Diana feel the pressure of this even more as she not only has to fight her way through the employment industry, she has to deal with being 'unique' and persuade the hiring companies that s...

Covid 19: A Period of Uncertainty & Isolation - March 2020 - July 2020

Image
It's one thing hearing about critical times and another having to live it. We have all heard stories about periods or countries having experienced numerous discomfort or danger. Though Diana never thought in her wildest dreams, it would become her reality too - especially in an advanced country such as the UK, London. Freedom and free will, something we value dearly and don't usually give much thought to as it is automatically given what with being in advanced countries, had become quite limited due to a hazardous virus called COVID 19. A virus that has possibly originated from China and caused too much disturbance around the globe. Towards the end of March 2020 was when Diana's lifestyle began to change drastically due to covid restrictions - the daily activities she would do and the freedom she had was no longer accessible.  Due to the new rules put in place by the government and family concerns, Diana had to stay indoors more than usual - not go out to the gym, meet up w...

A Life in the Day - Fashion designer & Support assistant, Sheree Robinson

Image
A Life in the Day: the Fashion designer and S upport assistant Sheree Robinson juggles between two careers and is succeeding really well.  During the week, on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays my day starts with supporting students in London College of Communication. I support them with their physical needs: carrying their equipment or books. I also sit with students to help them plan or structure their time so that they are organized and are not falling behind in their studies as well as writing notes for those who are entitled. I am also a fashion designer, therefore, the other two days, Wednesdays and Fridays I may go to Central Saint Martins, a  public tertiary art school, to teach students how to knit and give them guidance. Some of the time I also go to Central Saint Martins for knitwork. In the evenings I spend my time mainly on my own knitting career: most of the time I do knitting parties, in bars and clubs located on the east and west side of London. It inv...

2020: Kabul University & Afghan Journalists

Image
Alongside the corona-virus crisis, other things took place that made the year 2020 more dreadful and tragic, having a bitter impact on people living in Afghanistan, especially students & journalists. From the start of November 2020, multiple attacks occurred, all at a short space of time, starting with Kabul university - killing numerous students, all young and full of ambitions. A few days after the devastating assassination of a well established & prominent journalist named Yama Siawash happened. Seeing or hearing about the Kabul University attack had upset me a lot - leaving me in tears twice and then discovering about the murder of such a young successful and talented journalist saddened me even further. I was quite fond of his personality - the way he used to conduct himself as a news anchor and do his job successfully. Moreover, there was something unique about him that would make him stand out amongst other journalists and some well-known faces of Afghanist...

Wembley Stadium - UEFA EURO 2020 ⚽

Image
The year is 2019, almost a year since I graduated from University. As usual, I was trying to find an exciting, fun and, relevant job - ideally a paid position. In the meantime, I was working with Legends Report - an inspirational online Magazine mainly based on inspirational legends. I had been with them for a while, and as it was an unpaid role, I kept seeking a paid one in the process. That's when I came across a job that would boost my confidence even further, transform my perception of myself, the daily challenges and the slight fears which I've had about the employment industry or life overall. This job somehow gave me the reassurance I was searching for after graduation. It expanded my network, and I got to meet pleasant individuals, beginning with the management team to the interviewer scouts - all was an absolute delight. They made me feel welcomed and involved. Initially, though, I was slightly hesitant in conducting the role, but after a few discussions with the ...
