Meet, Farangis Wafa Muhseni. 💚

Farangis is a cosmetology student at Emily Griffith Technical College and even shared some of the battles she has faced prior to coming to our college. 
Farangis states, "I am from Afghanistan, as a woman we are not allowed to attend school. Being a refuge was one of the biggest challenges that I have faced prior to coming here. The Taliban attacked on multiple occasions and we consistently had to move and restart our life. I had to uproot not only my life but my families life multiple times, moving from Russia back to home and now to Colorado. My life was full of challenges in that aspect. Now me, my husband have to support 3 kids (twins ages 10 and the youngest age 8), as him and I are learning English,  I am going to school and we are working as much as we can to provide for them. Not knowing any English was so hard for me because I had no idea what anyone was saying when we first moved here." 

Farangis shared the supports that have been helpful to her during this experience:
"My teachers are my biggest supports. They are always quick to help me as they know my situation. I also have a tutor who is super helpful. My classmates are also a big help as well. I truly feel that everyone who I have came in contact with here has supported me, and they want to see me succeed. They all know that English is my second language but they are very patient and helpful when I need help. Whether it is helping with my vocabulary, technology, or just life they are there." 

Farangis, your story is so inspirational and we are so humbled and honored by your perseverance through every battle you have faced. Your community at Emily Griffith Technical College is here to support you every step of the way. 🤝#Forallwhowishtolearn
