I'm going to start with a young person her name is yasine she's 24 years old and she has five siblings and lives in a two-bedroom home in Jordan she was an above average student in school and her exam results tracked her into the economics program of a public university no one ever asked her what her interests were or test her aptitude or counseled her on the kind of impact that she could have in the world and so she never asked herself these questions she was just on a treadmill that went from school to University to
lectures and then she graduated and it wasn't until after she graduated that she began applying to jobs by the time I'd met her Yas had applied to 30 positions in most cases she never heard back and when she did it was always some variation of her English skills weren't good enough or she didn't have enough applied experience or she didn't have enough work experience in all of these cases she always wasn't something enough she sat at home for the last two years she struggles every morning to wake up because she feels she has nothing to
look forward to at the tender age of 24 for she feels that her life is wasted she's angry she's frustrated and she doesn't know what to do
