فيديو: باراك أوباما يشيد بالسودانية ألاء محمد في إفطار البيت الأبيض الرمضاني

سوداكون*  

Finance  ألاء في مائدة الرئيس - تخرجت من جامعة ييل وتعمل في مجال الموارد المالية

جاء نص الخطاب كما يلي:

And you see the kind of impact Muhammed’s work can have -- how each generation can help bring along the next -- in young people like Aala Mohamed.  Aala’s family immigrated to the United States from Sudan.  Both her parents worked several jobs in order to send her to a good high school in Chicago, a great town.  I added that.  That’s not in the remarks.  (Laughter.)  But, according to Aala, applying for college was a depressing time, because she didn’t know what opportunities were out there and she didn’t know how her family would pay for her college. 

But with the help of a nonprofit that focuses on young people like her, she set her sights high.  She earned admission to Yale, which I understand is quite good.  (Laughter.)  She graduated with a double major.  Today she works in finance, and now she’s paying it forward by developing a curriculum to inspire Muslim high school students, especially girls, to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering and math.  So we want to thank Aala for that.  (Applause.)

About Aala:

Aala Muhammed’s parents emigrated from Sudan and worked several jobs to send her to a good high school in Chicago, but her hopes of going to college faced financial challenges. With the help of a nonprofit that focuses on young people, she earned admissions to Yale University and now runs her own program to encourage girls of color to pursue science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education.
