Shinawar one of the BIS Abu Dhabi Student Support Assistants recently graduated from Abu Dhabi University. Read about his experience and journey below.

My name is Shinawar Ahmad Toor and I am a graduate Civil Engineer from Abu Dhabi University. I studied for over 7 years to complete my Undergraduate Degree, so the moment I received my certificate was an emotional one for me.

After completing my studies, I searched for work everywhere and I found placement at BIS Abu Dhabi. At first, I was sceptical about joining the teaching industry, but after my first week here it felt like I had been here for a very long time. Every system around me was extremely streamlined. The staff was very welcoming, and the students were a delight to work with. All my doubts and fears just vanished.

I'm very grateful to the Inclusion team at BIS Abu Dhabi for accepting me and making me feel comfortable at my workplace. I felt so connected to my team members, I even showed up to BIS Abu Dhabi in my graduation regalia to take photos with them.
