I am Mohammad Elyas Hamidi. I am originally from Afghanistan. I am 22 years old. I have been working for 2 years as a GIS secialist at Aga Khan Agency for Habitat.

I, Mohammad Hamed, was born in the year 2000 and I was born in a religious and intellectual family. I have very good morals and currently I live in an intellectual society.

Born on March 21, 1999, in Kabul, Afghanistan, I come from a highly educated family that has always been supportive of my educational pursuits, despite the challenging circumstances in our country. From a young age, I have possessed a deep curiosity for knowledge and a passion for learning. In 2015, I completed my secondary education at Abdul Hadi Dawi High School in Kabul. At the same time, I dedicated myself to improving my English language skills by attending a 10-month course at Azeraksh Computer & English Academic Center. This experience not only enhanced my language abilities but also broadened my horizons. In 2018, I embarked on a new chapter by enrolling in the Bachelor of Arts in Public Policy and Administration program at Balkh University in Mazar-I-Sharif. This decision was driven by my desire to contribute to positive change and development in Afghanistan. Throughout my academic journey, I displayed a high level of academic performance, which culminated in my graduation from the program in 2022. During my time at Balkh University, I actively participated in various programs and trainings that allowed me to expand my knowledge and skills in diverse fields. Some notable programs I engaged in include the Debate Theoretical and Practical Training organized by Afghan for Progressive Thinking (APT) and the training on the Role of Young Leadership in Rising Social Awareness, also organized by APT. These experiences enabled me to develop crucial critical thinking and leadership skills. Furthermore, I participated in a Research Training Program organized by Afghan Youth's Empowerment and Change Organization (AYECO), where I honed my research abilities and gained a deeper understanding of academic inquiry. I also attended the Youth Summit for Peace organized by Afghanistan Youth Leaders Assembly (AYLA), which broadened my perspectives on peace-building and conflict resolution. My dedication to personal growth and skill development was not limited to the academic sphere. I took part in the Employment Readiness and Soft Skills training program conducted by the Social and Educational Services Organization (SESO), which equipped me with valuable job readiness skills. Additionally, I undertook the DEL (Diploma in English Language) program at the Muslim English Language Institute and TOEFL IBT Test preparation at the English Learning and Computer Learning Center (ELCLC) of Balkh University to enhance my English language proficiency. Moreover, I have contributed to Afghan society by sharing my thoughts and ideas through my writings. I published several political and social essays that tackled important issues faced by Afghanistan. These essays included topics such as the value of education and the restriction on women in the current government, the takeover of the Taliban for the second time and the resistance of the people, and recommended solutions for stabilizing Afghanistan's new political system. In addition to my academic and writing pursuits, I have also engaged in teaching activities. I authored a book titled "Basic Mathematics for Basic Classes," which provides comprehensive exercises and instruction on the fundamental arithmetic operations for beginner-level students. As I continue on my educational journey, one of my primary goals is to further develop my English language skills. To accomplish this, I completed an Academic Writing course at the Lincoln Learning Center of Kabul Educational University. These experiences have sharpened my abilities in articulating my thoughts and ideas effectively, both in writing and speaking. In summary, my life has been characterized by a thirst for knowledge, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to personal growth. I am eager to continue pursuing my educational and professional goals, with the aim of playing an active role in Afghanistan's development and making a positive impact on society.
