Sofia: From War Zones to New Beginnings
From War Zones to New Beginnings
Sofia, SGE Graduate
My name is Sofia, and today, I'm proud to call myself a graduate of Simplify Global Education. This moment means more to me than words can express—not only because of what I've learned, but because of everything I've overcome to get here.
From 2017 to 2022, I worked with Women for Women International, where I dedicated myself to defending women's rights and advocating for human dignity. It was powerful and important work—but it also came with great risks. Eventually, I had to leave my home country for my safety.
After spending more than two years in Germany, I arrived in the United States filled with hope, but also fear. I knew that learning English would be the first step toward building a new life. In 2023, I started at Simplify Global Education as a beginner in class 045.
Today, I've passed my upper-intermediate exam, found employment with Fairfax County Public Schools, and I'm working toward my long-term goal of attending George Mason University to pursue higher education.
