Please answer the 3 questions below with no more than 250 words.

What does it mean for you to be Moroccan?
As a Muslim country, Morocco is tolerant, yet holds traditional culture with strong values. While on the outside it can
seem like any other African nation, Morocco has greatly involved considering its past state. However I consider it
like a coin with two divergent sides, the bright and cheerful one with flourishing citizen, alongside a better security,
educational systems and city management, with a promising future, and there a darkside in the flipped side of the
coin, where reside more than half of Morocco’s population, unfortunate citizen who don’t have enough means to
sustain themselves and insure education, security, etc, in a fastly privitized Morocco and no form of aids was
provided to help them from misery. As a native I am accepting these two sides, and I thrive to bring light to the
shadow of the coin.
Being a Moroccan is also to be willing to help your community regarding the numerous issues it is currently facing in
order to ensure a better future for the next generation. Knowing when and how to take action, while more
importantly being proud of your roots and love it no matter the circumstances.
9 / 15
Which UWC value resonates most with you? How does it translate into your daily life?
UWC has a very unique strategy that doesn't target a strong educational foundation only, but also creates a
complete person through its two year program by abiding by seven values that are different, but at the same time
Among all these principles, there is one that i connect to the most, it is not a question related to preference but it
resonate more with my own lifestyle, which is essentially centered around independence and self discipline,
whenever its related to my social life, spiritual one or even my educational path, embracing challenges and taking
risks by yourself, proves that you are competent enough to lead other people and to size opportunities giving to
you.
Thus, I highly believe that taking the initiative is in itself a form of self-empowerment, while I agree that motivation is
key to keep going on your journey but discipline is what keeps growing .
The sixth value strongly relates to my daily life as I thrive, everyday, to educate myself in taking personal initiative
while giving back in various domains such as my passions, hobbies, studies, in which I am currently involved and
look forward to evolving. At the end of the day, the journey can not be savored without the challenge that kept you
from reaching the end of your path. Without risks, there would be no opportunities, since they are two sides of the
same coin.
10 / 15
How will you benefit from UWC? How will UWC benefit from having you?
Try to go beyond the obvious and focus on how this personally relates to your story and background.
My uncertain future has always terrified me, it reminded me of how much my life can alter by the choices I make. I
couldn't handle being lost anymore, and now, I thrive to discover myself, that led to me realizing that to do so I
I can not let this opportunity slide without even reaching out to grasp it; it wouldn't just help me pursue a path in
life, but it will certainly shape and impact me as a person just as much. As much as I will learn from you, I hope that
you can benefit from my culture, knowledge, ideas, and background.
Please choose ONE of the three questions below to answer. Do NOT answer all three questions. For these
What has been the hardest part of the pandemic for you? How has the pandemic changed your life?

Heart beating, people cheering, bodies tensing, just after the whistle, I felt goosebumps all through my skin as I
dived into the calm yet cold water. Every move reminded me of the long hours spent getting to this point. Every
breath and butterfly stroke made me realize how much my effort didn’t go to waste, and how close I was to reach
my goal. Feeling the water all over my body, taking away my sweat as I swam to the finish line with every last beat
of energy left in my muscles, caused me to go back to reality and finish this national swimming race.
For people, it may look like mere seconds, but it felt like hours handling this stressful environment. Indeed, dealing
with the pool's atmosphere and my own worries can be tiring in itself, as well as it keeps drifting me out of my focus.
However, I can not describe my joy when I qualified as one of the five finalists nationally in the butterfly stroke.
Yet, all my happiness sank into the water I used to dive into when the pandemic came crushing my hope to dust,
and tearing my effort to shreds. That day, I felt like my hard work and sweat slipped away like air through my
fingertips, and tears of frustration fell down my cheeks. I saw my effort and hope crumble before my eyes as the
national swimming competition got canceled. Even now, while I'm sitting in this vaccination center that was once
the Olympic pool where I trained. I still hear all the cheering, the excitement and nervousness, the endless training,
the injuries, and the exhaustion that paid off in the end. While I'm sitting on the edge of, now, the empty
natatorium. The nostalgic memories flow into my head, like a courant, bringing along all the incredible sensations
that stroked my entire body while swimming and diving into the cold water.
With pools closing up, my training got delayed for two years and a half. And so, To keep my body in shape, I
played basketball during that time, and even with my natatorium opening, I still sustained my basketball practice.
Nevertheless, it didn’t seem the same, although I do feel excited when I am in the game, whether it is a friendly
one, or the championship, shooting the ball and marking points while playing with my teammate all along the
match, I didn’t feel as thrilled as I am swimming in the water, as competitive as I am with other swimmers of my
12 / 15
However, I never gave up on my dream of being on the podium. Even if this crisis halted my growth rate and my
training, my determination didn't falter. My persistence in pursuing my ambitions remained all these years, and as
I’m now back in the field, I won't let this opportunity fade without a win.

My household is facing many financial difficulties at the moment, and unfortunately, my family
can not afford any tuition. With the weak and low salary my parents obtain, it is already tough with
my brother’s and I high school's big demands. Adding oil to the fire, our house is still in credit, and
still paying the rest of the mortgage, furthermore, we have been doing so for years now, fifteen to
be exact. And not to mention the extraocular activities, such as swimming, basketball, piano etc,
each of them needing payment. In addition to all of this, there is a presence of a third adult living in
our house, my grandmother. My country, Morocco, when affected by the COVID-19 pandemic,
established the law of lockdown on March 19, 2020. Since that date, my grandmother whose 84
years old came to live with us; she suffers from a lot of pathologies (asthma, HTA, Diabete…) and
its medical file is too loaded imposing very heavy financial charges, that is why my parents are left
with additional expenses that impacted my family's finances significantly and therefore they are
unable to pay for me any sort of tuition or required finances.
